Here’s what you need to know about making small changes that have a big impact on your health and well-being.
The truth is, most of us are not taught how to prioritize our health. Even if we were, we live in a world where the things that make us unhealthy are often more attractive and accessible than the things that make us healthy.
In order to transform your relationship with health and make it a priority in your life, you have to fight against these norms. You have to have an intentional approach to health.
We have outlined five principles to help you transform your relationship with health:
- Embrace nourishment
Eating a variety of nutrient-dense foods will make you feel your best. Having regular meals that contain a balance of lean protein, healthy fats and fiber-rich carbohydrate sources will help to balance blood sugar levels, boost energy and keep you satiated.
- Set daily movement goals that are realistic
Exercise and movement are integral elements of living a healthy life. Daily physical activity is an important component of feeling good. The key is to find something that you enjoy doing. This could be taking your dog for a walk or even slowing down to enjoy a restorative yoga practice – checkout a variety of yoga practices in the Omnivana app
- Shift your mindset
How many of us take the time to actually pay attention to our thoughts and identify where they are taking us? Shifting away from negative thinking requires self-awareness and discipline. Start by being mindful of your thoughts when you find yourself focusing on the negatives. Then make a conscious effort to shift your focus onto the positives and you will eventually learn to see everything in a more positive, constructive light
- Reduce stress
Stress not only impacts our physical health, but our mental health too. Reducing stress doesn’t have to mean making large life changes – even small changes can make a big difference over time. Maintaining good sleep hygiene can significantly reduce stress. There are several things you can do to promote good sleep hygiene. To start – Maintain a regular sleep schedule. That is going to bed at the same time and waking up at the same time.
- Create Balance
Creating balance is an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Balance means making sure we have time to do the things that make us feel happy and fulfilled. It means recognising that our lives are not just about achieving goals or being productive – they’re also about enjoying ourselves and having fun!
By applying these simple principles to your life, you can transform your relationship with health. These principles serve as a foundation, so you can build upon them to create a relationship with health that is sustainable.
