A Better Way to Better Day's
Day not going right? Stressed from the hectic routine of daily life? Feeling as if your life is spiraling out of control? Oftentimes we get so caught up in simply trying to make it through each day, that we don't take time to appreciate the here and now.
Now is the time to take back control and optimize the joy and energy of each day. The things in life we did not do are often what we regret the most. Once a day passes it is gone forever. Here are some easy ways to improve your day, your health and your life. Make every day a better day.
10 Better Day Quick Fixes
1. Drink more water. Proper hydration helps the body function better and aids in the detoxification process, promoting cellular recovery.
2. Replace morning coffee with tea. Too much caffeine stresses your adrenal glands, which may lead to overall decreased energy levels.
3. Eat a good breakfast. Skip the simple carbohydrates like bagels, white breads, and processed foods. Eat fruit and protein.
4. Eat more bags than barcodes. In general, keep away from processed foods in boxes with barcodes and go with more natural food in bags. Eliminate the unnecessary food additives.
5. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Use your body. Get moving. You burn more calories, helping fat loss. Plus, it is actually a little fun when you see people stare in amazement that you actually use the stairs.
6. Read more books. Turn off the television and stimulate your mind with a good book.
7. Be grateful. Take 60 seconds and write down three things you are grateful for in your life. For example: your health, children, spouse, job, family, etc.
8. Use your third eye. Apply light, sustained pressure for 60 seconds to the point above your nose and between your eyes. This is the "third eye" energy chakra point in acupuncture and is known for revitalizing energy.
9. Golf without leaving home. Roll a golf ball on the bottom of both bare feet for 2-3 minutes and release the soft-tissue fascia. You will release tension and increase blood flow as well as stimulate reflexology points.
10. Squeeze a stress ball for 60 seconds. Strong grip reduces neck tension and upper-back stress. Feel an immediate rush of energy. Make sure you do both hands and maintain breathing patterns.
