Take
inspiration from these well-being resolutions and get ready to feel a whole lot
better!
Taking ‘You’ Time
It’s so important to take some time for yourself every now and then. It’s normal to get caught up in the throes of daily life when you’re juggling so many different hats, but setting aside time each week to do ‘you’ will give you some time to take stock and relax.

Read
a book or magazine, take up a hobby you’ve always wanted to try or learn
something new with a loved one. Or why not book an appointment at a beauty
salon or indulge in a relaxing bath? Add some bath salts and scented candles
too for extra luxe points!
We
all know we should be eating 5 portions of fruit and veg per day but sometimes
that number can seem impossible to fit in. At least half of your plate should
be taken up by fruit or vegetables, and adding things like spinach to pasta
dishes can help to boost your intake.
Pick
up a blender and start whizzing up your fruit and veg into tasty juice drinks. Make sure you keep a good
balance between fruit and vegetables in your choice to avoid too much sugar.
Improve your Posture
Slouching
isn’t good for you, and taking the time to correct your posture will also
impact how you feel about yourself. When you’re slumped over a desk we can
start to feel that sluggish feeling but taking the time to sit up straight can
help us feel a little more productive and lessen the strain on our backs.
A waist trainer
can help to improve your posture too and help you banish those midday slouches,
not to mention giving you that gorgeous hourglass silhouette.
2
litres of water. That’s what we should all be aiming to drink each day, keeping
topped up can help to reduce headaches and flush out other toxins from your
body. It can also help to keep tummy rumbles at bay as many of us often mistake
hunger for dehydration.
Adding
a slice of lemon to a cup of hot water in the morning is also a great way to
kick start your metabolism first thing, and it’s a refreshing pick me up too.
Moving More
Moving More
It’s
a simple one really, the more you move the better you’ll feel. You don’t need
to exercise to simply lose weight as keeping active is also proven to impact
your mental health as well.
When
endorphins are released we all feel better, so taking a brisk walk in the winter sunshine will
do wonders for your soul. Take a walk on your lunch break or grab your friends
and go to an exercise class. Just remember to keep it fun.
These are such easy resolutions that we can all take up this year and I especially want to implement some of these into my life at the moment, especially as I'm pregnant and feel like I need a health kick after feeling quite ill the last few months.
