The 5 most important tips for your health from the experts

Sometimes in the pursuit of our goals, we get so deep into the process that we forget the simplest actions that can help. You don’t have to look for complicated ways, start small. We suggest starting your journey to physical and mental health and dream shape with these simple steps.

We’ve gathered five habits that should always be with you.

Don’t forget about your skin

Self-care is a matter of motivation and habit, just like washing your face, brushing your teeth, and taking a shower.

If you don’t take care of your oral cavity, you won’t even have to talk about dental health – you’ll have problems. If a person does not take a shower, he or she will emit such an odor that neither he or she nor the people around him or her will be happy. This means that we brush our teeth, wash in the shower, because we understand the consequences that will inevitably occur when we refuse from the usual procedures. All this fully applies to the care of skin, hair and clothes. A neat appearance, well-groomed hair, smooth skin without early signs of aging – this is a good motivation to start taking care of yourself, if you have not done it before. In general, a beautiful, aesthetic appearance is the key to success in the modern world. In the previous material, together with a psychologist, we told you how to start taking care of your body and organism.

It is desirable to remember this constantly. If you do not have a habit of taking care of yourself, then you can form it, according to the classics, for 21 days. And do not set yourself a super task: buy a million bottles with obscure names. I recommend you to start small: learn how to gently and qualitatively cleanse your skin and protect it from the sun. These two steps are the minimum you need to fulfill. Moving step by step, you will not notice how the new habit will enter your life.

Get rid of excess

I always recommend that you start by putting your “warm space” in order.

Information noise or information garbage is something that can slow down your progress and be a constant irritant, preventing you from concentrating. We’re talking about completely different and sometimes unexpected things: unnecessary things in the house, distracting social media subscriptions, and even some people.

Put your wallet in order, lay out your bills neatly and throw away all the trash, then in your purse – leave only what you need. Put away everything you don’t use in the pockets of your clothes, in your closet, in your room or apartment, and definitely on the desk in your office or at home. You will notice how your thoughts will change, you will begin to look at the world and yourself differently, everything will become clearer, simpler and more logical, and new perspectives and visions may open up.

Have a rest

Rest is a must for being able to focus.

Short breaks during the day to look out the window, make a couple of hand waves, pour yourself a cup of tea, allow you to work with greater concentration than constantly sitting in one place without the opportunity to even eat lunch or make a couple of laps in the street around the office.

Thank yourself

Gratitude is essential for progress.

Gratitude is essential for progress. When your significant other helps you or cares for you, you feel sincere gratitude and try to show it. Don’t forget that your best friend is yourself, so thanking yourself is essential.

For example, after your morning run, allow yourself your favorite treat in small amounts. If you want to make a habit of reading every day, then after reading a certain number of pages allow yourself something, maybe a trip to the theater or a movie. In this way, you will associate the habit with pleasant emotions, it will be easier and easier for you to perform certain actions every time to form the habit.

Do not compare yourself with others

Do not push yourself into any numbers and parameters that are accepted by society (for example, 90/60/90).

But it’s not only the activities that we should enjoy, but also the result we get from them. Very often, when we evaluate our figure and our appearance, we compare ourselves with someone: with models, with a fitness trainer, with girls from the Internet. But all models are photographed at the peak of their shape when they look their best. Fitness models leave their worst shapes behind the scenes and we never get to see them. We try to equal perfect, but there are no perfect people.

The most important thing is that you are comfortable at your weight, whatever it is. Try not to rely on ideals, but rather be the best version of yourself. It matters how you carry yourself. What matters is how you feel.

But sometimes it happens that you eat right, do not forget about moderate exercise and sleep well, but the reflection in the mirror still reminds you of unwanted pounds. In this case, you should think about whether everything is all right with your body – read about possible causes in the link below.
