My New Year Ideas - Here's What I've Wished For In 2025
Jan-2025
In one of our previous blog posts we talked about coping with emotionally charged days. Those tips we provided can help you to overcome a hard day, or a hard period of your life.
Yet, when you feel ready that you want to do something on your own to improve your mental health status, that is when this article can be helpful.
Are there some habit changes that you can do with a purpose to achieve better daily quality of life? We say - YES, and here's what you should do:
Start your day in a bit different manner. Truly, think about how you start your day - you cannot even imagine how important this is. Do you start your day with stress, completely not prepared for the day that's ahead? Some small changes can help a lot - for example, you can plan your day ahead by making to-do tasks, as well as writing down your obligations. Write those down by priority - always start with the hardest tasks first.
Preparing your clothes and breakfast for tomorrow is also a great way to go. If you start your day by checking email, even while you are still laying in your bed, please break that habit. Give yourself some time, drink your favorite coffee or tea instead.
Learn how to trick your brain to instantly feel better.
Read this article and learn how to trick your brain to feel better, even if you don't feel like that. Why would anyone do it? Because that will help you to continue your day in a wanted and needed manner and to stay on the right track.
Take some new steps you have been afraid of earlier.
Leaving your comfort zone at least from time to time can have a huge impact on your mental health and overall well-being. By telling you that you should leave your comfort zone, I don't necessarily think about something big like leaving your job or moving far away.
Instead, you can try a new meal, have a new haircut, or try that bright lipstick. Baby steps will take you a long way.
I cannot tell you how important this is - in the era of modern technology, we tend to doom scroll a bit too much. Maybe it's even a better idea to take a break from tech and online world. Read more about how to do it in this article.
Think about your eating habits. Escape eating chocolate before going to bed - you won't have a good night's sleep.
Surround yourself with emotionally safe people.
Take a look at the article I left at the link above and learn who emotionally safe people are. Get rid of toxic people and learn how to set boundaries for yourself. This will improve your life tremendously.
Stop being guilty about these things.
Do you feel guilty when you set your standards and put yourself in the first place? Read the article above.
Schedule those doctor appointments you've been postponing for a while.
Taking care of your health is always a great idea. Do it, even with fear - but do it, schedule those regular doctor appointments you've been postponing.
Would you like to add some other habits changes to this list, that have helped you to turn your life around?
