Healthy Lifestyle: 3 Choices You Can Make Today!
A healthy lifestyle is something that we all aspire to. Sometimes, however, we find that life gets in the way! As you end 2016, perhaps you can start moving in the right direction with our healthy lifestyle choices. Rather than waiting until January 1 for the new year, you can start today. By January 1, you would have gained momentum and be well on your way to becoming a more fit, healthy, and happy entrepreneur. Join me on this journey!
Here are 3 healthy lifestyle choices that you can begin including in your life today.
1. Include a Daily Exercise Routine
Never forget the importance of a daily exercise routine. Per a 2014 report of the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine, “exercise is the countermeasure for aging.” Keeping fit is your responsibility. You do not need 60 hours of cardio or to lift 200 pound weights. A simple power walk will suffice, but do it daily and stick to it. Consistency is the key! I enjoy taking a morning walk through neighborhood. When it gets too hot or too cold, I walk inside at the local mall. If you are serious about reversing the effects of aging and maintaining your muscle mass, you may want to include the stretching routines of Miranda Esmonde-White. You can follow Miranda’s routines in her book: “Aging Backwards: Reverse the Aging Process and Look 10 Years Younger in 30 Minutes a Day.”
2. Pay Attention to What You Eat
You only have one body. How you feed it is up to you. A happy body needs the proper nutrients for brain power and health. Avoid foods that only drag the body down. When you eat right, you feel great. To help you prepare your body for healthy food choices, you may first want to rid your body of toxins. I recommend the “10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse”, by JJ Smith. In her book, Smith emphasizes the importance of “taking control of your health by caring for your body by feeding it what it needs to be slim, healthy, and vibrant.” The smoothies are delicious!
3. Start Your Day with Gratitude
You can choose to start your day grumpy and irritable or you can choose to start your day grateful that you were given another chance to enjoy a joyful, purposeful, loving life. The choice is always yours. Choose to wake up declaring a few things you are grateful for. Watch how this daily habit changes your day and your life. To help you understand the importance of starting your day with gratitude, read “The Power of Intention,” by Dr. Wayne Dyer. Per Dr. Dyer, “Gratitude is a sacred space where you allow and know that a force greater than you is always at work and always available.”
