I don’t know about you but I sometimes bite off more than I can chew. I often try to combine too many changes, work, social life and my hobbies. So today I am sharing with you 10 Healthy habits to create more balance in your day-to day life.
Go for a walk in the Morning and at night for 30 minutes at least, or more!
Walking for me in the morning or after work has been a way to let out negative energy and try hard not to interact with my phone and disconnect!
Drink water throughout the day!
It is recommended to dirnk eight- 8 ounces a day. Some people who hate water, so for an alternative grab those flavored packages that are no calories and drink away!
Cut back on coffee and pop and replace it with a fruit.
This one I am still working on, when a Dr.Pepper is taunting me in the fridge at work it is hard to say no.
Write in a journal whether that be about your day, the good the bad or a to-do list of what you want to accomplish.
Writing in a journal has been a way for me to really escape and turn to god about my problems, accomplishments and goals!
Create a go-to playlist.
Create playlist that you can listen to in the car, work and working out! I find that mixing music up for different daily activities keeps my mind clear. I personally recommend Spotify. Andrew and I have a subscription.
Stretch!
Stretch once or twice a day will make a difference. Especially if you sit at a desk all day, find time to walk throughout the day whether that be on your lunch or even to get fresh water!
Set Goals.
Setting goals gives you long-term determination and short- term motivation!
Get plenty of sleep!
We all need plenty of sleep it helps us rejuvenate and boosts our immune systems.
Brainstorm.
Being a creaitve and not working a creative job, I find myself always brainstorming my next big idea. My family thinks I am crazy with some of the things I come up with. It is always healthy to always be thinking of things that interest you.
Make free time once a week.
I know it sounds hard sometimes, but when you create at least 30 minutes to an hour for free time you can plan what you want to do with that free time. Whether it be grabbing coffee with a girlfriend or taking a drive.
Share below what you do to help balance your lifestyle, I would love to hear from you!
All of these are such good habits to keep up with! I definitely try to replace my soda or coffee with water but it is so difficult (literally drinking a Coke right now… oops!) I’ll have to try a little harder with that one… thanks for sharing your tips!

I started going for a jog and workout every other morning, and it definitely helps my mood for the day! I do it before my day starts, and it feels lovely. Though I don’t know if I can cut my caffeine intake, I do grab a fruit everyday haha!
