1. Get things ready the night before (clothes set out, backpacks ready, lunches made etc.)
2. Get ready in the morning. If I spend the day in my sweat pants I usually have a lazy day, if I get up get dressed and get ready I feel better about myself.
4. Drink a big glass of water upon waking! This will help jump start things in your body, and get you back to hydration. I usually drink half my body weight in ounces of water per day.
3. EAT BREAKFAST. Do it every day. Make sure you have some protein, carbs and fats with your breakfast, you will feel full longer, your blood sugar will stay more stable and you will just feel better.
4. Exercise. Get it in even if it is just a walk with the kids or the dog or on your own. Exercise helps you feel good and it makes you healthier.
5. Eat veggies with at least two of your meals during the day. Veggies have soo many good for you things in them that you just need to do it. (this coming from a girl who doesn't love her veggies, but loves how they make her feel so she does it, well most of the time)
6. Get out of the house, even if it is just a few minutes get out of the house.
7. Take a moment during the day to think about what your grateful for, and write down, or just think about it, tell someone, or all of the above. Taking time for gratitude is important. Once we recognize how great the things we have are the happier we can be.
8. Make your bed! Do this in the morning when you get up, something about having a nice bed makes the whole room look better. It is such a great habit to get into.
9. SMILE!!! Even when you don't want to, smiling is contagious, and it helps you feel better to smile.
10. Hug someone. Your body needs this (I am not a big hugger, ask most of my friends) but it is sooo good for you, your body releases happy hormones when you hug someone this will automatically lift your mood.
These are not too tough, so get them in!
What do you do to help yourself have a better day?
