The Quick Five for a Better Mindset

Five Healthy Lifestyle Tips that Can Help Boost Your Mindset

Perhaps you have a negative outlook on life, or you want to clear your mind a little bit and come back with a fresh perspective; there are several things that you can do to make this a reality. Living a healthy lifestyle can help you in a variety of ways, not only physically but also mentally and emotionally. Here are some great lifestyle tips and choices you can make always to feel your best.

1. Drink plenty of water

When you’re dehydrated, your mind can feel cloudy, and you might not be able to think as clearly as you usually do. Not drinking enough water is the leading cause of dehydration, and you might not necessarily think you’re dehydrated until it’s gets so bad that you need to see a doctor. If you’re feeling lethargic, tired and can’t think straight, try drinking 300—500ml of water and see if that helps.

2. Make regular exercise a habit

People who regularly exercise tend to feel much better than those who don’t put in that time and effort. If you’ve ever exercised regularly for an extended period, you will know how it can affect every part of your body and mind. If you’re struggling to find the time to exercise, start off with just five minutes per day. This could be first thing in the morning or last thing at night. It could be a brisk walk during lunch or a quick gym session after work.

3. Go to sleep on time

If you’re not used to sleeping before 1 a.m., change your sleeping habits. This is particularly true if you go to work in the morning and must be up quite early to get to work. Measure how much sleep you’re getting per night – if you’re getting less than seven hours, then it could explain why you don’t feel like you have a clear and positive mindset. Likewise, if you’re falling asleep without remembering because you’re falling asleep in the evening at any time and in any place, this could mean that you’re sleep-deprived, which also plays a massive part in how your mind feels.

4. Do Stretches

Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Engage your core and reach your arms up towards the ceiling as far as you can while keeping your shoulders relaxed. Stretch through your fingertips and try to lengthen your spine as you reach upward. Hold the position for a few seconds before slowly returning to the starting position.

5.  Start Journaling
