CONSCIOUS LIVING Make these simple changes for a happier, healthier you! 1. Take an ‘awe’ walk Happiness guru Gretchen Rubin recently wrote a blog post about a new study that reported on the benefits of taking in the small wonders of nature as you walk. It could be an unexpected rainbow, a busy squirrel or a plant pushing through a crack in the pavement. Consciously observing grounds you in the moment and is good for your heart, health and mood. 2. Easy swaps Making drastic changes during a period of drastic change can be unsettling. Instead, incorporate small, manageable, practical changes, such as: Season for flavour, replacing salt with chilli, paprika, garlic or herbs. Drink decaf coffee or herbal tea. Too much caffeine can make you jittery. Replace meat with mushrooms or lentils for a healthier but just as hearty alternative. 3. To the power of 10 Wait! Before you dish a second helping or reach for a doughnut, count to 10 and ask yourself, “Am I hungry?” Many people eat when they’re bored, frustrated or stressed. Tuning in to your true feelings helps you make better, healthier decisions. 4. Make a ta-da list! Instead of a to-do list, which is overwhelming, a ta-da list celebrates what you’ve actually accomplished, how far you’ve come and gives you a sense of pride and purpose. 5. Switch it off Limiting screen time is good for everything, from better sleep to reducing eye strain. Take it a step further: cleanse your timeline and the people you follow with the purpose of retaining only positive, enriching, empowering content.
