A wellness routine is a great way to support your mental and physical health. Following some simple lifestyle tips can have a huge impact on your wellbeing.
We’ve put together a guide to how we’ll be spending this Wellness Wednesday.
Our Steps To Wellness
1. Get Some Sleep
If you find yourself dreaming of a nap all day, you’re probably not getting enough sleep. Studies have shown that sleep deprivation can increase our risk of heart disease, obesity and diabetes. (1) During sleep our cells repair and our nerves reorganise to support healthy brain function. So, getting the recommended 8 hours really is crucial to our wellbeing.
Staying away from caffeine can help to restore our sleeping patterns. Implementing an evening routine is great too, so try to get into bed at the same time each night and put your phone away long before you try to sleep.
2. Exercise Outside
We all know that exercising is important, but going outside can benefit our mood and lower levels of anxiety and stress. Plus, outdoors exercise can boost our levels of vitamin D, which is essential for our immunity and muscle health. 2
3. De-stress
Everyone feels stressed from time to time, but repeated episodes can have more physical effects than you might think. The tensing of muscles experienced during periods of stress can cause shoulder and back pain. Additionally, stress hormones can constrict our blood vessels in order to send oxygen to our muscles, increasing blood pressure levels.
Meditation is a great way to combat stress. Take some time out of each day to clear your mind and focus on your breathing.
4. Stay Positive
Becoming a ‘glass half full’ person can have a huge impact on your wellbeing. The benefits of keeping a positive attitude range from boosting immunity, reducing stress and helping cardiovascular health.
But how do you become more optimistic? Start each day with some gentle exercise, yoga can work well for this. Exercise releases endorphins that help you to feel good. End each day by taking note of something positive that has happened. This reflection will help to appreciate even the smallest of victories.
