Every one dreams of getting a set routine and a balanced lifestyle all day every day (even if its subconsciously) that not only makes us look good but also makes us feel good. For example, eating healthier, working out, taking care of our skin etc. However, let’s face it. These things are easier said than done. Nobody has the kind of patience and time to stick to half of these things that keep doing the rounds on the internet. However, here are certain small and easy tips that you can try and incorporate into your daily routine that will make you feel less guilty about not making any changes and push you one step closer to the kind of lifestyle you want.
1. Every morning after waking up, drink a glass of warm water with some lemon squeezed in it. It’s a great way to kick start your digestion for the day and helps increase metabolism.
2. Incorporate some form of protein in your breakfast- eggs, nut butters, yoghurt etc.
3. Drink at least 2 liters of water.
4. Eat frequently and in moderation. Don’t binge on a bag of chips and then skip lunch out of guilt. That’s totally the wrong way to go about your diet. Instead keep fruits/ tea/ coffee as your healthy snack option.
5. Take a shower. Even if it’s cold outside.
6. Don’t go to bed with a face full of make-up. Always clean your face. Once in the morning, and once before going to bed.
7. Moisturize your face and don’t forget your neck!
8. Take out at least 10 minutes every day to do some kind of a work out. There are plenty short routines available on YouTube. And if that’s not your cup of tea, opt for walking around instead.
9. Go to bed earlier by 1 hour. If you sleep at 12, try going to bed by 11 instead.
10. Leave your mobile phone in the far corner of your room, at least an hour before bed time. Do some book reading, (not anything electronics based) or write in a journal instead. Studies show, mobile phones, TV, and computers emit radiations that are known to cause disturbed sleep and induce stress.
