1. Get Some Sleep

It is no secret that sleep is important.  You may have noticed that sleeping helps you to avoid that tired feeling all day, and helps you to concentrate more.  Sleep is also a chance for your body to rejuvenate, and plenty of things still go on in your body’s various systems while you sleep.

If you don’t get enough sleep, it’s not only highly likely that you’ll be tired the next day, but your health can suffer too.

Being tired makes us highly emotional, have stress and anxiety, limits our concentration, and can even make us more susceptible to illnesses. Try to get around 7-8 hours per night for the best benefits that sleep has to offer.

2. Breathe

It may seem like an unusual suggestion, but do you ever take the chance just to sit and breathe?  There are a lot of breathing exercises you could do. Even with just one little session of concentrating on your breathing,  you will feel more relaxed.

Over time, if you do this at least once a day, you’ll find that you feel calmer, less emotional, and just generally better. Meditation is a good time to try out breathing techniques.

3. Don’t Be So Convenient

For some reason, people feel that they are too busy to cook a proper meal each day.  This results in grabbing a quick meal on the way home from their local fast food place or they get frozen dinners that can be thrown in the oven or microwave when they get home. While these shortcuts may seem to save time, ultimately, both are a very unhealthy choice to make.

Ready meals,  convenient foods, processed food, and junk food are loaded with sugar, fat, salt and many more calories than our bodies need. Fast food also tends to be heavily processed, and as it is often fried, the nutritional goodness for our bodies is practically non-existent.

Try to cut back on these unhealthy foods and instead, cook from scratch. It is not difficult to prepare a healthy chicken breast with vegetables on the side for example, and this is a far healthier option.

4. Go For A Walk

Instead of putting off exercise claiming that you don’t have enough money to afford a gym or enough time actually to go to the gym, just take a step out of your front door.  You can walk anywhere, and this is free and easy to do.  Try a walking exercise.

Involve the whole family and go for a walk around the block or to the park if there is one nearby. There is absolutely no excuse for not going for a little exercise, and you have plenty to gain from it too.

First of all, you’ll be able to enjoy gentle exercise that will still give you a good cardio workout to keep your heart pumping. You will also be able to enjoy some fresh air, which is essential for the brain and muscles.

Make it a nightly ritual that takes places right after dinner.

5. Drink More Water
   

We’re not suggesting that you go to the bar and get drunk – quite the opposite.  You should be drinking eight glasses of water per day, and if you don’t do that, and you suffer from headaches, then we’re willing to bet that you’re dehydrated and need some more liquid in your body.

Every time you go into your kitchen, try to remember to have a glass of water. Whether you’re making breakfast, lunch or dinner or if you’re just grabbing a snack, using this as a prompt to drink a glass of water is an effective way to remember to stay hydrated.

thinking more water will improve your overall health and can even have a positive effect on your appearance by improving the quality of your skin!

By having a Reiki energy healing session, this relaxes your body – mind – spirit and improves your natural wellness.  There are many energy modalities:
