I will be the first to admit that I don’t always prioritize my health, and I know many moms are in the same situation. We put our kids, husbands, friends, and family members first, and we lag behind at the back of the line. This works fine until our health takes a HIT. I needed to make a reminder for myself of the simple steps to good health and wanted to share my goals with you! I even made a little printable to hang on the fridge to remember how easy the simple steps to good health actually are! You can download the printable at the end of this post!
Simple Steps to Good Health
Sometimes, it feels like better health always has to be complicated. I just don’t like complicated….how about you? I never last with complicated!! Finding simple steps to good health is what works for me! These easy steps can make a real difference in your life, but they don’t have to be hard!!!
Stay Hydrated
I am embarrassed to admit that sometimes I get so busy that hours will pass and I won’t take a drink. 🙁 There are many days I don’t drink nearly enough liquids, and I know this is horrible for my body!!! When I am well-hydrated, I always feel better! So, let’s work on drinking more daily liquids to stay well hydrated!
Get Enough Sleep
Getting a good night’s sleep has been a major obstacle for me for the past few years. I have had a lot of trouble sleeping soundly and have been working on this a lot! It is getting better, and I find myself so much more productive when I have at least 7 or 8 hours under my belt! Sleep is a basic necessity, and I know that when I go too long without enough sleep, I end up getting sick. I am working to get a good night’s sleep every night by getting to bed reasonably and remembering to be screen-free before I head to bed! If you have a sleep issue, or if sleep in particular is something you really struggle with, then you may qualify for a medical marijuana card, especially if you have a diagnosed disorder. It’s always worth looking into things like this, as it could help you greatly in the future.
Positive Mental Health
I have seen my husband think himself well. It is incredible what his positive mental outlook can do! Although I am not nearly as optimistic as he is…I have improved a LOT over the years, LOL! I know I feel better physically when I am in a good mental state. This starts with my thought processes….going into situations with a positive outlook instead of a negative outlook. A positive mental outlook is within our control if we prioritize it! Let’s start thinking positively!!
Take Time for Yourself
Taking time for yourself may sound selfish, but in reality, it is imperative for your well-being. We need time to relax…think…meditate….just be. Maybe you need time to read, craft, walk, write in your journal….take a long, hot bath…..this doesn’t have to be a LONG time. Taking regular time for yourself will make you a MORE POSITIVE PERSON. It will help you give more to your family later! Just do it!!!
Taking time for yourself also means getting regular health checkups. This way you will be able to catch problems early. A check in on your general and even your reproductive health can alert you to issues such as low testosterone, so that you can get treatments such as trt online to replenish your hormones.
Plan Meals Ahead
When I plan our family meals ahead and grocery shop with a purpose we end up eating healthier. Those weeks when I am running crazy and our evening meals are thrown together or ordered out…are actually more stressful for me. I have more energy when I have eaten nutritious foods. I have more money when I am not eating out all the time. These things combine to make me happier and more energetic!!
Stay Active
As a blogger I do a lot of my work sitting at a computer. I have to remind myself to get up every little bit and move around so I am not stiff and sore later. I like to try and get several long walks in each week and do other activities too. Staying active doesn’t necessarily have to mean a strict workout routine. I counted mowing my yard yesterday with my push mower as my hour of exercise for the day! Playing outside with your kids counts!! Just try to stay active as much as you can….make that extra trip up the stairs instead of sending one of your kids to fetch the item you need! 🙂
Eat Healthy Snacks
I have a bad habit of grabbing unhealthy snacks when rushed. I have been working to get out of this habit! Keeping grab-and-go snacks available is key.
A fun and healthy snack option you can try is the nutrient-packed mushroom chocolate bars. These unique treats combine delicious flavor with potential health benefits—perfect for busy moms looking for something tasty and nutritious. I love snacks that have hidden nutrients inside!
Take a Multi-Vitamin
I have rarely seen a list of good habits that didn’t include taking a multivitamin. My doctor recommends it…as do many professionals. I try to get all the nutrients I need from my foods, but honestly, it doesn’t always happen! Taking a multivitamin is quick, easy, and fits right into my busy lifestyle!
