1. Make your health a priority. You may have stress coming from multiple directions such as work, school, family, kids, neighbors, or others. However, it’s important to establish your health as a top consideration. Find a balance between taking care of others and taking care of yourself.

2. Understand the fundamentals of self-care. Self-care is a conscious effort to put yourself first. It requires you to take time for activities that nourish and sustain your body, mind, and spirit.

• When you make it a priority to take care of yourself, you build a lifestyle that focuses on healthy choices. Build self-care into your daily habits, such as eating a healthy breakfast and exercising.

3. Start with one healthy habit a day. If self-care isn’t a normal part of your life, it may be difficult to get used to it. However, you can start with one small habit and you’ll see positive changes.

• By implementing one healthy habit each day, you’ll begin your journey of taking better care of yourself.
• The habit can be a tiny change, such as eating oatmeal for breakfast or having a salad for lunch. The key is to pick something small that is easy to do. Then, you can build from this foundation and add other habits.
• If you try too many activities at once, you’re likely to get overwhelmed or discouraged.

4. Find your own path. It’s easy to get caught up in the self-care practices that others use. However, it’s more effective to find your own path to wellness.

• Find the tips and habits that work best for your lifestyle. You may not have time to eat a healthy lunch or exercise every day. There are other ways to take care of yourself. Be willing to experiment with different ideas to figure out which self-care practices work well for you.

5. Continue growing. It’s not enough to add one self-care habit and move on. Stress will continue to be a factor as long as you’re on this planet. It’s important to discover new self-care habits to alleviate your stress.

• Over time, the stress may come from different directions. For example, if your job is going well, you may suddenly discover issues at home. If your family life is fine, you may be worried about getting laid off.
• You may feel overwhelmed at times and as if you’re taking steps back. Nevertheless, continue forward and make self-care a top priority.
• As your life changes, your self-care habits will also change. You might find that oatmeal for breakfast starts causing stomachaches, or injuries prevent you from exercising every day. Self-care can come from multiple channels. You can change things up and still find success.

Beyond the Gym - Fitness Tips to Incorporate into Your Daily Life

How much time do you spend preparing to go to the gym? Most people spend at least 10 or 15 minutes changing clothes and packing a bag.

Then, you likely drive 15 to 20 minutes to the closest gym. If you don’t have a gym that is near you, your commute time may be even longer. You may be spending more time getting to the gym and back home than working out.

Once you get there, if someone else is using your favorite equipment, you may waste 10 or more minutes waiting for it to be free.

With all things considered, the gym can be quite time-consuming, costly, and draining.

However, the gym isn’t your only option when it comes to staying in shape. Fitness doesn’t have to be an all-consuming activity that forces you to take time out of your day to rearrange your schedule. This guide will help with other options than the gym.

Incorporating fitness into your daily routines is the key. You get all the health benefits without the exercise feeling like a tedious chore. Making exercise a normal part of your day will change your outlook and allow you to enjoy being fit – maybe for the first time!
