To avoid feeling overwhelmed I find it helpful to set short, mid and long-term goals. You may find this helps you minimize stress and increases your productivity at the same time.
A few tips below will hopefully help you stay balanced while achieving all your dreams and ambitions for the year ahead.
- Get out into nature.
- Switch off all devices and the wifi an hour before bedtime.
- Try and give yourself a day off from the outside world.
- Listen to an audiobook or podcast in your lunch break or while in the car.
- Focus on your breath and deep belly breathing to help let go of stress.
- Elevate your heart rate for at least 20 minutes a day.
- Make exercise fun
- Laugh with friends and family.
- Take a swim or a warm bath with sea salt!
- Pick some flowers from the garden and light a candle.
- Sing and dance
- Reward your body with nutritious and equally delicious foods.
- Know that what you put in, you get out.
- Take supplements (if needed) to enhance health and wellbeing.
- Ensure you get at least 7 to 8 hours of quality sleep
- Ditch unnecessary toxins, go organic and avoid acidic foods.
- Try to eat fresh, local produce and avoid processed foods as much as possible.
- Drink lots of clean purified and ideally alkaline water.
