In our fast-paced and hectic world…
It's easy to get caught up in chaos and lose sight of what truly matters. By incorporating a healthy lifestyle, you can set yourself up for success and well-being. By following these nine habits, you can achieve holistic health (mind, body, and spirit) in your everyday life.
#1 — Wake Up Early
Rise and Shine for a Great Start. Waking early provides a kickstart to your day in a positive way. With a a morning routine that aligns with your priorities, you’ll experience productivity and peace. Use this time to enjoy solitude and introspection. Focus on three things you are grateful for, set your intentions for the day, and clarify your goals. Move to energize your body, meditate, and pray to cultivate a calm and centered mind. Remember to hydrate.
#2 — Drink 16oz Green Juice 2X Daily
Nourish Your Body. Nourishing your body with essential nutrients is crucial for overall well-being. Consuming green juice composed of cucumber, sunflower sprouts, pea sprouts, celery, kale, spinach, ginger, and lemon can provide a concentrated dose of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. This vibrant elixir can boost energy levels, support your immune system, and promote optimal health.
#3 — Spend 30 Minutes Daily Learning Something New
Expand Your Mind. Continuous learning is a powerful habit that enriches your life and broadens your horizons. Dedicate at least 30 minutes each day to learning something new. You can read an educational book, take an online or in-person class, or watch informative YouTube tutorials. This habit fuels personal growth, enhances your knowledge base, and keeps your mind sharp and engaged.
#4 — 20/20/20 Your Body Daily
Energize and Strengthen. Devote time each day to prioritize your physical well-being. The "20/20/20" principle involves spending 20 minutes on a vibration plate in the morning to awaken your cells, 20 minutes stretching to improve flexibility, and 20 minutes of weightlifting or muscle-stressing exercises at any time during the day. This routine boosts circulation strengthens your muscles, and invigorates your body, promoting overall health and vitality.
#5 — Spend 30 Minutes Walking in Nature
Connect with the Earth. Immersing yourself in nature offers numerous benefits for your mind, body, and soul. Allocate 30 minutes daily to take a walk outside. The serene surroundings soothe your emotions, reduce anxiety and depression, enhance creativity and productivity, improve your mood, and increase oxygenation.
#6 — Spend (at least) 10 Minutes in Silence Daily
Embrace Stillness. Amid a noisy and busy world, taking time for silence is invaluable. Dedicate ten minutes daily to sit still, giving your mind and body a much-needed rest. During this period, let your thoughts settle, and practice non-thinking and non-movement. Embracing Stillness helps you cultivate inner peace, reduce stress, and gain clarity.
#7 — Maintain Proper Hydration
Quench Your Body's Thirst. Proper hydration is essential for optimal bodily functions. Aim to drink half your weight in ounces of filtered water daily. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds, consume 100 ounces of water daily. Staying adequately hydrated promotes healthy digestion, vibrant skin, efficient organ function, and overall well-being.
#8 — Create a Beautiful Nightly Routine
Prepare for Restful Sleep. Creating a nighttime routine that promotes relaxation and quality sleep is vital for rejuvenation and well-being. Prioritize activities such as reading, meditation, a hot bath or shower, and listening to uplifting music. Minimize screen time at least 90 minutes before bed, and avoid eating for three hours prior. Set your bedroom temperature between 64º - 68ºF, utilize blackout curtains or a silk eye mask, and spray yourself and sheets with essential oil of lavender for relaxation. End your day with a guided meditation to ease into a peaceful and restful sleep.
#9 — Use Affirmations to Reprogram Your Subconscious
Harness the Power of Positive Thinking Before drifting off to sleep, use affirmations to reprogram your subconscious mind. Repeat positive statements such as "I am successful in all that I do," "I am worthy of love," "I am healthy," "I am strong," "I am confident," "I awake daily with loads of energy," "I sleep peacefully all night," "I am patient," and "I am loving." By harnessing the power of positive thinking, you can instill empowering beliefs and cultivate a mindset that supports your goals and dreams.
