I’ve been thinking a lot about how to live your best life lately, and I decided to share few tips. I hope they help you find more joy in your everyday routine, too!
Take more breaks
The key to living a better life is taking time to disconnect. In this day and age, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of your day-to-day routine—but taking breaks from technology can help you relax, reset your thoughts and energy levels, and even boost your creativity.
Here are some simple steps that you can take to ensure that you’re taking enough breaks throughout the week:
- Take phone breaks. Check off some items on your bucket list by spending time outdoors! After all—the best part about being outside is that people don’t have any service there anyway! If they do try to call or text you (which they always do), ignore them until they give up trying and go away forever while still allowing yourself access to their voice mails when necessary.*
- Take computer breaks. Focus on one thing at a time by making sure everything has its own dedicated space so that there are no distractions caused by clutter in the workplace such as when someone else’s things get mixed up with yours because all their stuff was just dumped into one drawer instead of having its own separate place where only theirs goes down below under lock & key at home before work starts each morning after breakfast which should last around two hours depending upon what kind of person we’re talking about here – either way though…
Eat healthy snacks
Eating healthy snacks is important for many reasons. First, it keeps your energy levels high throughout the day. Second, it provides you with a good source of nutrition and calories without needing to sit down for a meal. Finally, it helps prevent overeating at mealtimes because you can eat smaller portions throughout the day instead of one big meal at night.
When choosing snacks, look for ones that are low in fat and high in fiber and protein (such as nuts). If possible, choose foods that are homemade or seasonal—you’ll be more likely to enjoy them if they’re fresh!

Get up earlier.
The first step to living your best life is waking up earlier. The next time you’re about to hit the snooze button, think about how much more amazing it will feel if you just roll out of bed and go for a walk. If that sounds like too much work, try reading instead—it’s a great way to start your day! Or meditate for 15 minutes (or longer). Or write in your journal. Or make yourself a cup of tea (or coffee or hot chocolate) while sitting on the couch and re-watching episodes of Friends. You could even do all this at once! Do whatever works best for you but just remember: Get up!
Meditation practice
Meditation is the practice of focusing your mind and letting go of distracting thoughts. It’s difficult to do, but it’s also one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself.
You can meditate anywhere, anytime—even on your lunch break at work or while waiting in line at the grocery store! Some people like to meditate alone, while others prefer group meditation sessions or guided meditation with music. There are numerous styles and techniques out there to try that will suit anyone’s needs: silent meditation (where no words are spoken), breath-focused meditation (where you focus on breathing), walking meditation (in which you walk slowly while focusing on each step), visualization meditations (where you imagine yourself in a relaxing scene) and more!
Drink water.
Drink water.
It’s not a new tip, but it’s a good one. Hydration is key for good health, and there are many reasons why you should drink lots of water every day.
Drinking enough water will help you maintain optimal hydration levels and keep your organs healthy, which can lead to improved physical performance. It may also improve concentration levels. You’ll feel less lethargic when taking on tasks at work or school if you’re properly hydrated as well. And if you’re looking to drop some pounds, drinking more H20 could be just what the doctor ordered: Studies show that drinking more H20 leads people being able to eat fewer calories without feeling hungry later on in the day.
Exercise.
Exercise. It’s good for your health, and there are a million other benefits that come with it. Not only can exercise help you sleep better and alleviate depression, but it can also improve your mood and make you feel less stressed. If you’re looking for an additional way to boost confidence, try exercising with a friend or family member; having someone to cheer you on will make any workout more enjoyable and keep you motivated in an environment where motivation is key.
Just say “no”.
In order to live a life that is full of meaning, it can help to be able to say no. Not just any old no, but a thoughtful and respectful one that maintains the relationship between you and the other person. This does not mean that we should never do things for others or accept favours; on the contrary, taking care of each other and making connections are important parts of our lives! But when someone asks us for something unreasonable or inconvenient, it’s OK to let them know you don’t have time or resources at this moment in your life.
It may take practice for some people who are used to being helpful all the time (and there’s nothing wrong with being helpful), but eventually saying “no” will become second nature as you begin prioritizing what matters most in your life: yourself!
Read books.
Reading is a great way to learn new things and get inspired. In fact, there’s no better way to expand your horizons than with a book—and reading is also an excellent escape from reality. What better way do you have to spend your time?

Self-care is important for a better, happier life!
Self-care is important for a better, happier life!
If you’re like most people, your life is full of things that are not good for you. For example, the way people treat each other at work or school may not be great. The way you talk to yourself might not be the best either. In fact, negative thoughts are actually proven to reduce feelings of happiness and optimism in both the short-term and long-term!
However, there are things that you can do every day that will help improve how happy and healthy you feel. These practices don’t have to cost money or take up much time—they just need to happen regularly so that they become part of your routine (like brushing your teeth). They include: eating healthy food; exercising regularly; getting enough sleep; spending time with friends and family members who make us happy; making sure we get outside at least once per day (even if it’s just walking around the neighbourhood).
In short…
I hope these tips help you live your best life! Remember that self-care is important, and there are many ways to do it. If you need more ideas or support, please ask in the comments below.
