Improving your diet
You will have heard this saying many, many times – you are what you eat! Enjoying a healthy balanced diet has an essential impact on how you feel on a daily occurrence. Fatty foods can cause you to feel sluggish, and unhealthy and lead to your immune system being lower. Good foods on the other hand can improve your mental well-being, protect your body from unwanted illnesses and taste good. Of course, we would never say to eat a completely clean diet as everything should be enjoyed in moderation. Instead, try using an app to track your diet and spot any nutritional elements that you may be low in. Once tracking your diet, you may be surprised to see you are deficient in certain areas like your vitamins which could be why you are not feeling your best some days. Key elements to aim for when improving your diet is to make sure you are eating five pieces of fruit and vegetables. This can be done on its own by eating fruit or adding vegetables to the meals you are cooking.
Stick to a healthy beauty routine
It’s very true that in order to feel your best, you want to view yourself as your best. If you enjoy getting your makeup out, then do it. You will feel a lot more positive when leaving the home as well as feel more confident. When looking into your beauty routine, our tip would be to make sure it’s healthy for your skin. Use cruelty-free products and make sure you don’t overdo it – a good moisturizing routine is important and don’t forget about your hair. Looking after your hair is as important as all your other beauty routines. You can always see when someone’s hair is looking healthy. Plus there is nothing more irritating than when your scalp is itching. If you are finding it is, there are many Itchy scalp treatment options that you can follow.
Stay hydrated
Just like eating your five pieces of fruit and vegetables a day, you should be drinking around 2-3 liters of water a day. Water benefits your body by keeping you hydrated and fueling your skin, helping its elasticity. It also helps improve your concentration and energy levels. When your energy levels are low, this is when you can start to feel negativity as your body isn’t fueled properly. Other areas where water helps is keeping your concentration, reducing headaches, and feeling fatigued. A good tip for increasing your water intake is to fill up a two-liter bottle of water each day. By the time you go to bed make sure you have finished this – this way you know you have drunk enough that day. If you don’t want to carry around a big bottle with you, there are plenty of apps that you can use which will help you keep track of how much you have drunk.
Dress to impress
Just like your make-up routine, it’s important to continue to dress your best as this can really help you feel your best. If you wake up and don’t make an effort, your appearance will not help motivate you. On the other hand, if you wake up and put your best clothes on, this will help you feel good about yourself – plus hopefully, you’ll get a few compliments along the way. Try to get your outfit ready the day before, this way when you get up, you have it there and can put it straight on. If you don’t like it that day, simply change it and put something just as impressive on. As your partner or your friends what they think about your appearance that day – we can guarantee you, you will get a compliment (or two)
Ensure you are getting enough sleep
Do you track the amount of sleep you get each day and throughout the week? Did you know you want to aim to achieve around 8-9 hours and that this can reduce as you get older? Sleep can have a big impact on your overall mood that day. Without enough sleep your body will not feel 100%, you’ll feel sluggish and increase the chances of you getting ill. Getting plenty of sleep has many other benefits which include helping you control your weight better, helping you think more clearly – which will help you make better decisions – and you’ll get along with others more.
Keep a positive mindset
They always say to surround yourself with positive people as this can help you feel more positive – this couldn’t be any more true. Throughout the day, try to make an effort to always be positive when you can. This will help you feel good and produce a better, more positive outlook on life. Just like smiling, it’s very hard to feel negative when everyone is being positive around you. It’s ok to have bad days and not always be positive but it’s important you try to be positive when you can be.
