Ways to Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle
When we make maintaining a healthy lifestyle a priority, magical things can happen. Preserving a positive attitude is a sure-fire way to strengthen your motivation, creativity, and focus throughout the day.
A healthy lifestyle looks different for everyone, but there are basic principles that can be useful for anyone to incorporate into their routine.
1. Start Your Day Out with Gratitude
There is evidence that shows that when we wake up in the morning, the first thoughts that permeate our brains can set the tone for how we feel the rest of the day.
Making an effort to focus on what we are grateful for – and we mean to really, truly sit on it and let the feeling of gratitude wash over your entire body – you will be surprised at how incredible you feel as your day unfolds.
The things that would typically irritate you or even ruin your mood for the rest of the day will become minute, and you will find it so much easier to perceive the simple beauties of life.
Beginning your day with an attitude of gratitude is key to maintaining a healthy, positive life – and yes, there is absolutely always something to be grateful for.
2. Meditate
Integrating a meditation practice into your life is a major component when it comes to ensuring you are filling your day with meaningful and beneficial habits. Many people who are able to sustain a positive attitude most of the time have a regular meditation practice that they keep up with every day.
There are numerous ways to meditate, such as lying or sitting down, while walking or doing another calm activity, or with a guide via a class or through an app.
There are practically no downsides with meditation, but there are a plethora of benefits like reduced stress and anxiety, lower blood pressure, and an overall better mood.
Meditating in the morning has the potential to start your day off on an amazing foot, as you will likely feel more present, grounded, and mindful in most situations. Meditating at night also has its perks, since this can help you wind down and relax from a busy day and get you in the right frame of mind to sleep soundly.
There is really nothing to lose when it comes to working a meditation practice into your daily routine, but you will surely reap the many rewards.
3. Get Outside and Move Your Body
One aspect that is often overlooked and taken for granted is the opportunity to get outside as well as moving the body at some point during the day.
Especially if you are someone that is stuck inside for a long portion of the day, getting outside and spending time soaking up some rays of sunshine and taking plenty of deep breaths of fresh air can work wonders on how you feel.
Moving your body is equally as important, and bonus points if you also do this while outside.
It’s true that exercise releases the feel-good chemicals in our bodies known as endorphins, and these really have the power to amplify our overall mood and help us maintain the most positive attitude possible.
There’s a good reason that we feel better when we are outside and are getting our blood pumping, and making sure to do these two things often will certainly pay off.
4. Constantly Learn
It is a huge myth that we are done learning once we graduate from school. This could not be further from the truth honestly, and it is quite frankly pretty ridiculous to think that we could ever be done learning in our entire lifetime.
Those who are always open to learning, with a curious mind about the world, and that accept that they do not know everything are the ones who end up more fulfilled and overall content.
When we go about our days in a state of eagerness and with a hunger for expanding our knowledge, we open ourselves up to receive such things in return.
The commitment to constantly learning is one that you can only profit from, and it will surely help you when it comes to preserving a healthy, happy lifestyle that will inspire you to get out in the world and create positive change.
5. Maintain a Good Sleep Schedule
It is no secret that sleep is one of the most vital components of life, and unfortunately, a lot of people do not get nearly enough of it.
If you are looking for ways to have a healthy life where you flourish in all aspects, take a glimpse at how your typical sleep schedule looks.
If you are getting less than 7 to 8 hours of sleep, this is not enough, and it is not sustainable. If we want to support our state of mental health and feel as good as we possibly can each day, this all starts with sleep.
Not only is it vital to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night, but our minds and bodies benefit greatly from waking up as the sun rises and going to sleep early enough to ensure that plenty of z’s will be caught.
We cannot function optimally without this basic element that we need in life, and you will undoubtedly notice an immense improvement in your mood and attitude when you get an appropriate amount of sleep each night.
When we consistently show up for ourselves each and every day, beautiful things begin to manifest. You might not even recognize that this is happening until you look back and see just how far you have come and you will realize how uplifted you have been effortlessly feeling.
With each day that we are given, we have the opportunity to go about it with an attitude of positivity, encouragement, inspiration, and optimism. Remember, your attitude is free, and you always have the power to create whatever incredible reality it is that you so deeply desire.
Through messaging, events, partnerships and apparel, our goal is to inspire people to embody a positive mindset as a way of life.
Attitude Is Free is a way of thinking or feeling about someone or something that is reflected in our behavior. We all have the power to choose an optimistic mindset that leads to long-term fulfillment and happiness that not only impacts ourselves, but can uplift others. We have complete power over this tool within each of us and it is 100% FREE.
