If I was to give just 3 pieces of advice to change your life, here is what I would suggest.
- Start drinking fruit smoothies every day. Even if you change nothing about your diet, drinking a smoothie full of nutrients will at least give your cells what they need to help heal your body.
- Move your body more. Stretch when you are waiting for your morning coffee or tea to brew. Do push up on the counter while your food is in the microwave. Park further away to get more steps. Take the stairs more often (I take the stairs DOWN every day, but not UP!). Turn on some music and dance around the house. Walk in place while you watch tv. Just purposely make your body more move every day.
- Take deep breaths. Throughout the day, remind yourself to take deep breaths. During those breaths, remind your brain to be in the present moment and not worry about the past, the future, or what you don’t have control over. Before bed, take deep breaths and try to clear your mind, scan your body, relax your muscles, and repeat words in your mind that are positive. I repeat the words that describe my Future Dream Self every night. “I am strong, I am kind, I am confident, I am mindful, I am thoughtful, I am inspiring, I am calm, I am peaceful, I am balanced, I am open to the universe.” Or you can go through a list of things for which you are grateful and send love to people in your life.
