Human beings are generally resistant to change. We have our routines and habits that
we like to stick with because we know they work. 1. Save Calories and Cost by Packing Your Lunch
Eating
out at lunch is convenient, but the cost and the calories both add up
over time. Keep your health goals on track by packing your lunch
throughout the week. Don’t feel like you have to settle for the
same old PB&J sandwich just because you are packing though.
Include your weekday lunches as part of your weekly meal planning
efforts. You can make meals just for lunches or use dinnertime
leftovers.
2. Set Your Alarm 10 Minutes Earlier
For many of us,
there never seems to be enough hours in the day. We have so many
goals and projects that we want to tackle, and not enough time to
accomplish them all. Instead of trying to completely overhaul your
schedule to make everything happen at once, try setting your alarm
for just 10 minutes earlier and use the extra time to work on just
one task. You will make progress towards at least one of your goals
without completely overwhelming yourself.
3. Add 10 Minutes to Your Exercise Routine
If you have gotten
into a rut with your exercise routine, adding just 10 minutes of
exercise a day can help you get back on track. Whether you have cut
back on the amount of time spent exercising over the holidays, or
abandoned your exercise routine altogether, adding 10-minute
increments will help you slowly build back up to where you want to
be.
4. Stop Procrastinating
Most of us have at
least one project that we are procrastinating on. It may be a task
that we know we should be working on, but we don’t enjoy it so we
keep putting it off. Resolve to set aside 10-15 minutes each day to
work on something you have been procrastinating on. By tackling it in
small increments you will be making progress, and before you know it
the dreaded task will be complete!
5. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!
Water is essential
for life, and most of us don’t drink enough of it. Skip the
calorie-laden drinks, and hydrate with water instead. Make it easy to
get your daily quota of water by taking a refillable water bottle
with you. You can also try keeping a bottle of water on your desk at
work as a reminder to continue to hydrate throughout the day.
Make Small Changes for a Better Life
Achieving a better
life doesn’t have to involve massive changes. Small changes to our
daily routines can add up to drastically improved outcomes over time.
Make 2019 your best year yet by incorporating a few of our
suggestions into your daily routine.
