The Many Benefits of Having a Healthy Routine

Hi Everyone, I hope you enjoyed the summer months, as for many of you this a time of year of going back to school, going back to work and for creating a new routine.

With people constantly saying they are “Busy” and wil say they dont have time to exercise, eat properly or take care of their mental wellbeing. When you create a healthy routine the numerous health benefits you make will have you wondering why you didnt start one earlier. A routine can help you:

• Sleep better: Routines like your sleep schedule and bedtime habits affect your mental sharpness, emotional well-being and energy. Maintaining consistent times for waking and going to bed can help you get better rest.

• Eat healthier: Without scheduled time for grocery shopping, it is easier to have a unhealthy diet by ordering fast food or snacks since they are often a convenient option. Taking the time to plan trips to the grocery store gives you the opportunity to think about what healthy foods and meals you can incorporate into your everyday life.

• Get active: It is easier to exercise regularly when you make time for it. A daily routine can help you stay active, and an exercise schedule or program can help you budget your time.

Kick-Start Your LIfe

Make choices that will make you healthier and get the most out of your time. Here are some general tips:

• Try one thing at a time. Do not feel like you need to change your enter lifestyle all at once; start by drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning.

• Make a plan. Building out your intentions and the changes you want to see can help you be consistent and hold yourself accountable.

• Reframe your thinking. A routine does not need to be about changing the whole way you live. It may be more about incorporating healthier habits into what you already do so that you can live a better life for yourself and for those around you.
