We have already stepped into a new year. This is the time when we should incorporate some new routines to ring in 366 (since it’s a leap year) new chapters of the year 2020 with health and happiness.
Although new year resolutions may sound cliché to some, it is actually a great opportunity for the people who want to make the most of 2020 by embracing a healthy regime and eliminating bad habits.
To make your task easier, I have outlined 10 tips that you can follow to grow physically, mentally, and spiritually this year. Are you ready to jump in?
#1. Commit to Fitness
Subscribing to a gym membership is easy but maintaining it is difficult. I know it’s hard to suddenly become a gym beast and sweat out in the gym for hours, but it’s not impossible.
All you need to do is take baby steps. Start with stretching, then move on to cardio, aerobics, weight lifting and so on. Body transformation is a slow process that requires you to stay patient and observe the change.
Besides that, it’s not necessary to own a gym membership for committing to wellness and fitness. There are plenty of ways to stay fit even in a busy schedule and exercise at home too. So, put all your excuses aside and start committing to fitness.
#2. Eat Chemical-free Food & Beverages
“Good Food is Good mood” – I am sure you must have heard of this proverb at least once in a lifetime. Eating healthy and clean food can make you feel good inside out. Whilst eating processed, sugary, and unhealthy junk food can put you in a bad mood and make you ill.
In this new year, you can become more careful about your eating and drinking habits by choosing unadulterated chemical-free juices and food.
#3. Take Out Some Time for Your Passion
We all have some or other thing in life that gives us utmost happiness, be it cooking, gardening, joining swimming class, etc.
Unfortunately, due to the hustle and bustle of life, we often neglect such things that we enjoy the most in our life. On that note, this new year, let’s promise ourselves to carve out some “me-time” and accomplish that wish we wanted to do for years.
#4. Stay Optimistic
This is probably one of the healthiest new year resolutions that you could make in 2020. Do you know why?
Someone with optimistic thoughts knows how to handle the hurdles that uncertainty of life comes up with. On top of that, positive thoughts and beliefs can also derive happiness that is one of the precious things in everyone’s life. There are numerous advantages of acquiring a positive mindset, some of them are mentioned below:
- A healthy life
- Handling complicated situations becomes easy
- They understand beliving in reality is better than overthinking
- They grab every opportunity that comes across their life
- Making most of the time and energy becomes possible
#5. Learn to Express Your Emotions
Do you feel that adulting is hard sometimes? Well, I used to feel the same. Mostly because being an adult it was quite awkward for me to express emotions in front of people because not everyone is going to entertain it.
But, once I learned to be more expressive, I realized that it’s not that weird as I thought of it. In fact, I feel way more relaxed after expressing my emotions. On that account, I request you all to leave the burden of stress that you carry along with yourself by hiding your emotions.
Learn to socialize and share your emotions with your near and dear ones. I bet it will make you less stressed and happier.
#6. Cut-off Your Unhealthy Habits
Well, I know addiction to smoking or alcohol abuse is one of the hardest habits to quit. All you need to understand that multiple attempts to failure often lead to success. With that thought in mind, the perfect and healthiest way to welcome the new year 2020 is bidding goodbye to such life-threatening habits.
Also, imagine how much money you can save just by improving your lifestyle!
#7. Let Go of Grudges
A healthy new year should start with a healthy relationship with your friends or family. Holding onto the grudge can make you unhappy which ultimately leads to a disturbed sleeping pattern, stress, increased heart rate, etc. For that reason, holding onto grudges is not worth at all for your health as well as happiness.
Always remember that life is better without hatred. So, remove it from your life and strengthen your social bonds with love and positivity.
#8. Nurture Your Mental Health
Physical health is necessary for our bodies. Similarly, mental health is vital to achieving a healthy state of mind. As per my observation, people tend to give less importance to mental fitness which is actually an important thing to take care of for being creative, innovative, and enjoying life.
In order to stay mentally fit, you should try out any of the following tips:
- Get physically active
- Take proper sleep
- Be mindful of your eating and drinking habits
- Learn to manage stress
#9. Go For Routine Checkup
Regular checkups play a great role in order to minimize the risk of any disease or complication and ensure fitness level. Keeping a track of your health and the progress that you have made is a great way to stay motivated and work hard towards fitness.
It also reduces the chances of falling sick and improves health. For this reason, do not forget to book appointments with your doctor in short intervals and stay healthy!
#10. Love Yourself a Little More
Self-love is important to take care of yourself. Most likely, people go hard on themselves and this habit gives rise to many personal and professional problems. Hence, it’s very important to respect and appreciate yourself. Self-love is something that keeps us going and helps in leading a life full of love, health, and happiness.
Practice self-love through yoga, meditation or seek medical advice. Go and love yourself as much as you do with your beloved friends or family.
Final Thoughts,
It’s never too late to bring a good and healthy change in your life. Follow the above-recommended tips to enjoy 2020 with the utmost health and happiness.
Wishing health, wealth, and happiness to you and your family. Have a great year ahead!
