Everyday Health | 6 Tricks I Do Daily

Every morning when I wake up, I don’t think, “Okay, let’s make this a healthy day.” What does that even mean? Who in the heck knows? Health and wellbeing is personal for each individual.

My journey to my role as a health coach, nutrition nut, and corporate wellness professional was not an intentional journey. Piece by piece, apple after banana, and yoga class after yoga class, I formulated a healthful life – that feels good to me… most days, that is.

I believe that a healthy lifestyle is ultimately reached when one stops trying to be healthy and just lives healthy.

Of course I think about my health and wellbeing on a daily basis, but it is the little tricks that have transformed into silent habits that keep me “on track.” Falling off-track is totally okay, too – and without falling off now and again, you can’t check your balance; here are six “tricks” I do to maintain my everyday health.

1. This is a recent ritual, but I’ve been popping two orange Vitamin C gummies each morning; it’s my tactic to keep the winter bugs away.

2. Eat breakfast. Guys, this is so old news – but, I don’t know where I’d be without a bowl of hearty oatmeal or almond butter toast to begin a new day.

3. Snack. All the time. You’ve gotta fuel the fire to keep that metabolism burning.

4. Eat greens in some form or another every day – whether it be peas in mac and cheese, a huge kale salad, broccoli in a stir-fry, or collard greens in a bottle of fresh-pressed juice. Greens equal vitality in my book.

5. Healthy fats. I talk to my health coaching clients about the importance of healthy fats – not just for every day – but for every.single.meal. Hello, nuts!

6. Movement. Two days is my max without working out and not turning into an irritated antsy pants. Whether it’s a Saturday hike, a 20-minute run after work, or a yoga class during my lunch break, exercise is my ticket to feeling my best.

Even during that womanly time of the month, I don’t ignore these essentials to maintaining my everyday health. The trick: Stayfree Ultra Thin Liners as a fitness must-have – light, dependable, unnoticeable.

    A BIG thing for me is making sure to stay on top of my mental wellness, then the physical stuff comes. I try to write down things I am grateful for, take time to disconnect, and spend time with people I care about to help me with this.

    I know exactly what you mean about all of the pieces in the puzzle of your healthy life just sort of falling together over time… and I do all of these tips besides #1 every day, too!

    This post seems so simple, but is so meaningful to healthy living.
    I know I should be taking more vitamins for sure, but I always forget to in the morning. I need to step up my game like you!
