This year hasn’t been what we expected it to be and many things have been beyond our control. Even though things may seem beyond your control, there’s one thing you can manage and prioritize—self care. Micro habits are the new wellness trend and they’re more sustainable, smaller habits that are easier to follow through with. The easiest micro habits are those that can be tracked daily and these are some you should start implementing into your lifestyle.
Move More
Instead of trying to train for a marathon or doing an intense cardio session, think of small ways that you can move your body more often. Implement physical activity into your schedule three times a week and try not to go two days in a row without any activity.
Make Your Bed
This is a small thing that starts your day on the right foot and gives you a sense of accomplishment. Cleaning your entire house is overwhelming, but making your bed every day is totally doable.
Drink More Water
Drinking more water can help you feel more energized and less groggy. Aim for 90 ounces and carry a water bottle with you wherever you go.
Eat More Greens
Start by adding greens to one of your meals each day like by putting a handful of spinach in your breakfast smoothie. You’ll not only feel better, but you’ll be more motivated to eat healthier throughout the day.
Stay Connected
It’s really easy to feel disconnected during these times and to increase your social activities, go ahead and text or call a friend or family member nightly.
