To answer that question we must answer a preliminary question to ourselves which is one of the first quick practices that one can do to better their lifestyle, and that is – What do we mean by a better lifestyle?
There is no right or wrong answer to this question because of the extremely subjective nature of the question. It could be similar to someone else’s answer or it could be something completely different. It really does not matter. What matters is that one must authentically answer the question, that is what one really feels is the true answer, not what one thinks ought to be the answer. When one contemplates on this, slowly their view of a better lifestyle will emerge. This vision will itself draw out decisions and actions that are in line with the better lifestyle.
Other quick practices to develop a better lifestyle are built to create a healthy body and mind. The healthier the body/mind complex, the more clear the thoughts and the better they are brought out in actions.
The most basic thing that one can start off with right now is to stay hydrated. Water plays an important role in all our organs, it regulates body temperature and aids in digestion and excretion. One must drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day.
Another basic practice one can develop is to get enough sound sleep. The duration and the quality of sleep is extremely important. One can know more by visiting the LetsGetHappi app but the most common requirement is 6-8 hours of comfortable, undisturbed sleep.
A practice of regular exercise helps one improve their physical health, boosts energy levels and it also has many positive effects on one’s mood and mental health. It also instils the quality of discipline within oneself.
Finally, one must incorporate a healthy diet in one’s daily routine. A well-balanced diet involves fruits, vegetables, lean protein and whole grains. This provides the right type of nutrients required by the body to remain in the optimal state.
Conclusion – These changes seem to be very small on the surface, but including them in your daily routine is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. This is a great starting point for anyone looking to better their lifestyle. These tips are short and practical and therefore must be applied as soon as possible.
