Its another 365 days, a new year, an opportunity to make amends. Everyone is with the idea change, which pops the question, what is your lifestyle?
If you haven’t really settled down to think about your lifestyle, maybe this article is for you.
Lifestyle is basically a way of living, which gives a picture of who we really are. It is more or less like a schedule or routine.
To go through 2023 successfully, without regrets, a good lifestyle is imperative. A good lifestyle has 4 components which is;
- Sleep
- Diet
- Exercise
- Social/ mental health
Your lifestyle must be birthed by these four components.
Tips on having a good lifestyle
- Set achievable goals – Like they say, goals gives focus, it gives directions. Goals are dreams and plans to achieve those dreams. To avoid regrets or waste of another 365 days, this is advisable. For instance; if you wanna loose weight before the end of the year you set a goal, every week I’d exercise twice a week for the whole year. You want to improve your vocabulary, set a goal every week, read 4 articles and watch educational videos for the whole year.
- Create activities related to your goals – In this case sticky notes will help or an activity board, where you pin your daily schedule to the board. Don’t wait on spontaneous opportunities to start your goal.
- Indulge good habits – Habits like reading educative articles, eating fruits every week, waking earlier than usual, exercise and etcetera.
- Change behaviour one after another – You can’t possibly change in one week, its a gradual process. Eating fruits every day starts from eating twice every month, till twice every week then everyday, its a process, same goes to any other behaviour.
- Track progress – Appraise your activities after every month, check how many times you exercised, read articles for the month, ate fruits.
These could be applied to other things, if you plan to get a business or a job, or improve your grades and many more.
With that you will have a wonderful year.
