Over the last four years, I have noticed an increase in people advocating for a healthier lifestyle. During the lockdown in 2020, it felt like those that were so invested in their long term career goals finally got a second to breathe. People were seeing just how important it is to live in the present. For the first time in a long time, this community was able to focus on creating healthy habits.
As I have previously mentioned, many of us get wrapped up in our daily routines. Work, school, and other tasks we need to complete on a day to day consume our time. Something that was widely discovered in 2020 was that making healthy habits for ourselves leads to creating a healthy mind. This can even cause furthering our career and educational goals.
What constitutes as a healthy habit?
Everyone has their own opinions on what healthy means and looks like. However, I think there are a few things that most people have a common outlook on. These are some tricks to create a healthy mind…
- Cook at home: Not only is making your meals at home better for your health, but it also benefits your bank account! Even if you aren’t the greatest cook, making meals with your roommates, significant other, or yourself can become a fun activity.
- Exercise: Simply getting those 10,000 steps in each day can help clear your mind. Your body and mind will both benefit by getting your heart rate up. It’s never a bad idea!
- Drink water: What seems like a simple task can be the most easily overlooked! All you need to do is consume more water than you did today, and you’re on the right track.
- Get enough sleep: Getting the necessary amount of sleep can be critical to your daily schedule and will give you the energy you need to be productive.
- Find a hobby: I know this one can be difficult to do for some people (me…), but finding new hobbies can make life more interesting and more fun. You can even do this with a friend!
These habits are something that I have been working on. Creating a healthy mind will lead to future career and educational success! It is trial and error from here… I hope you take some of these tips with you and try them for yourself! To see me create this space for myself in real-time, check out my TikTok posts!
