Physical Wellness
- Exercise, just move more, exercise helps you burn calories, improves your heart health, helps with stress and anxiety, exercise will also release the feel-good hormones serotonin and dopamine, after you exercise you always feel amazing, tired yes, but the high you get from exercise feels euphoric, especially yoga obviously J
- Hydrate your body, water is essential in keeping you alive, it flushes out all the toxins held within the body. When you think you are hungry, this may be dehydration, drink some water first then see how you feel afterwards. To stop dehydration, make sure you sip water throughout your day, drinking between 2-4 litres depending on your body size.
- Nutritious Diet, it is essential to have a healthy nutritious diet if you want to stay away from any lifestyle related diseases, having a balanced diet will give you more energy, will make you feel and look great. An ideal diet would be lots of vegetables, fruits (berries), proteins (lean meats, eggs, nuts), healthy carb source (sweet potato, lentils), and fats (avocado, seeds, olive oil), also staying away from simple carbs (cakes, biscuits) and processed foods (ready-made meals, sugary cereals).
- Sleep is so important for recovery, i cannot not stress this enough, if you suffer from restless nights, try get yourself into a routine, switch your tv off, read a book, no sugar or alcohol within at least 2-3 hours, coffee 5-6 hours before you go to bed.
Emotional Wellness
- Laugh, this is very important, it is shown to decrease stress and improve how you feel emotionally, laughing with your friends or at a funny show is one of the best ways to uplift your soul.
- Practice Gratitude, when you are grateful for the things in your life, it is very hard to be sad, this is a great way to improve your mood.
- Self-Awareness, before you can work on your emotions you need to be aware of them, meditation is a great way to turn inwards and tune into the sensations of your body, where are they coming from, what comes up when you sit in silence and listen, truly listen to your body.
Spiritual Wellness
- Connect to yourself and your purpose in life, no one wants to live an unfulfilled life, spiritual wellness is learning about yourself, becoming self-aware, figuring life out and what brings you the most joy, so you can spread that happiness and lift as many people up along the way.
- Help others, whether you donate, volunteer, give advice, giving back to others who need your help is one of the most spiritual activities you can do, helping is our deepest human desire/need, contributing to your community can remind you of all the things you have to be grateful for.
- Be mindful of your life, how you live and how your decisions affect others around you, being mindful helps you be fully present in the moment, stay off your phone when you are speaking with friends and loved ones, really listen to them.
Social Wellness
- Nurture your friendships and the relationships that you have been neglecting, also letting go of the ones that are not good for you and are holding you back.
- Join a club and meet new people who share the same interest and goals, maybe join a yoga class.
- Respect and love yourself first, until you give yourself self-love, self-respect, and self-acceptance you will not attract the people who love and respect you, you will never be able to develop social wellness with a negative inner dialogue.
Intellectual Wellness
- Journal your thoughts and feelings, keep a daily log of the events that go on in your life, this can show your growth as a human mentally.
- Read books, instead of wasting time scrolling through your phone for hours in a daze, find a book and study it over and over until its ingrained in your brain, all the things you want to learn from it.
- Experience life, go visit museums, listen to music bands, join in cultural activities that can help you express your creativity, do things that stimulate your brain.
Now we understand what each individual key to wellness is, and that is not a one-time event like having a massage, it is a lifelong journey, a process that you will progress in as you age (hopefully) building better habits and improving the quality of your life.
