Not feeling your absolute best? Let’s turn that around. You are probably too busy, eating on the run, skimping on sleep, and stressing out. If you do not step in now, things will only get worse. Don’t burn out – reclaim your spark with these eight essential habits to feel your best again.
In today's hectic world, you might think you are doing okay if you are not sick. But managing symptoms is not the same as being in top health.
1. Own Your Health
Don’t wait for things to go wrong. Pay attention to your body. Feeling off? Don’t ignore it.
Do a quick check-up of your health. Are there lots of little issues? It might be time to chat with a professional. A health and lifestyle coach may be an option for you. They will help you focus on what is important for your health and support you in making the right changes specifically for you.
2. Identify the Issues
We often avoid asking for help. But whether it is building flatpack furniture or a health question, going solo is not always best. Recognise when you can’t do it alone.
3. It is Good to Get Help
Keeping problems to ourselves, can lead to bigger issues, like low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or worse. Reach out for help; it is a sign of strength, not weakness.
4. Improve Your Diet
Changing what you eat can overhaul how you feel. Whether it is low energy, brain fog, or something more specific like stomach or mood issues, a better diet can be a game changer. As a health coach, I see how adjusting food choices can:
Increase energy and vitality.
Sharpen mental focus.
Restore physical strength.
Enhance sleep quality.
Help lose excess weight.
And more…
5. Choose Real Food
Skip the supplements and go for whole foods instead. Our bodies are not made for artificial, highly processed food. We thrive on a natural diet: meats, fish, eggs, veggies, fruits, nuts, and seeds – and a bit of cooking or fermenting.
6. Stick to Three Simple Eating Rules
Maintain balanced blood sugar for better performance all-around. Here is how:
Eat at regular times.
Include protein with every meal and snack.
Choose your carbs carefully.
7. Review how much you are drinking
Alcohol can have numerous impacts on health, from affecting liver function to influencing mood and sleep quality. Make sure to limit your intake and if you feel like you may have a problem, do not hesitate to ask for help.
8. Prioritise Quality Sleep
Make rest a non-negotiable part of your routine. Good sleep is foundational for mental clarity, emotional well-being, and overall physical health. It is time to evaluate your sleep habits and make a commitment to proper rest every night.
