How to implement a healthy lifestyle

hey guys what’s up welcome back to my

channel my name is rene if you’re new

thank you so much for clicking and

watching this video to today’s video I’m

going to be sharing with you guys eight

ways in which you can implement a

healthy lifestyle and by healthy I don’t

just mean eat healthy workout I’m gonna

be covering all things wellness not just

eating right and working out we’re gonna

cover all of it so the first thing that

you want to do is check in mentally your

mental state and your mindfulness is a

huge component into starting a healthy

lifestyle you cannot start a healthy

lifestyle if you are not mentally in it

to win it you kind of have to analyze

where you are right now you obviously

are watching this video because you want

to implement more healthy habits into

your life so start with your mindset see

where you are look at the space around

you look at yourself mentally

emotionally physically your space where

you are right now and when you check in

accept where you are because this is

where it’s at right now there’s no point

in dwelling in the past or taking that

negative mindset with you through

creating and implementing a healthier

lifestyle accept the space that you’re

in right now you want to create

mindfulness and mindfulness is creating

space for what’s happening right here

and right now you don’t want to think in

the past and you don’t want to think in

the future so creating this mindset and

this mindfulness in the beginning of

your healthy lifestyle journey is going

to be detrimental to the success of it

so our mindset is kind of like an

iceberg 10% of our mind is the

reflection of what we see externally but

90% of our mindset stems from the

internal reflection that we see our

internal world rather than the physical

world you can create mindfulness through

a multitude of different exercises

meditation yoga journaling listening to

music taking a nature walk practice

gratitude

positive self-talk positive narrative

set positive intentions for your day

little things like that can definitely

help in the mindfulness Department so

the second step in implementing a

healthy lifestyle is to give up your bad

habits to make way for the new healthy

habits we all know what our bad habits

are we have habits or things that we do

in our life that doesn’t make us feel

good

physically and you know very well what

that is in your life whether that’s a

person a job your diet not working out

not getting enough sleep things like

that that you don’t want to be

incorporated into your life anymore

you’re gonna kind of write all the

things that you want to let go of in

order to create space for those new

habits an example could be if you watch

you know so much TV

maybe cut one of the TV shows out

instead of watching that TV show that

takes 30 minutes of your time go running

instead or go for a walk or go to sleep

early to help fix your sleep schedule

take something negative and create a

positive habit out of it but it takes 21

days to create a habit so if you are

starting a newer habit make sure that

you’re keeping track of that habit in

kind of check market and you want to

make sure that you’re creating realistic

not overwhelming habits you don’t want

to like put all of your habits down and

you have like 20 habits to do every day

now and you’re like I’m ready to get

started because you’re gonna end up

slumping and falling and then end up

quitting small changes in your daily

routine will end up creating larger

healthy habits in the long run you’re

not gonna be seeing immediate results a

lot of people just want quick fast

immediate results and that’s not the

case a habit is a lifestyle and a

lifestyle is what you want to be living

you want it to kind of come naturally

rather than just forcing yourself to

kind of go crazy for a short amount of

time and then end up quitting in the

long run so the third step that I have

for you guys is to focus on walking you

kind of want to aim for about 10″,000

steps a day I have recently been trying

this I have been implementing walking

into my life I do want to get kind of

like a step tracker or something my mom

got a Fitbit like a couple months back

and she’s really loving it because it

like tracks your sleep and all of that

I’ve been using my phone which isn’t the

best tracker but I don’t wear it with me

when I’m walking inside my house and

such but sometimes I’ll go take a walk

and I’ve kind of realized that in order

to get 10″,000 steps that’s two hours

worth of walking for me personally so if

you think about two hours start your day

of walking that’s not a lot you can do

little things to kind of get your 10″,000

steps for example you can park farther

away from where you’re going and walk to

the wherever you are at the grocery

store or whatever and walk back instead

of parking super super close you can

take the stairs instead of the elevator

if you have a pet take them for morning

and p.m. walks if you work in

office every 30 minutes or so go take a

walk around the building if you’re going

to the bathroom for your bathroom break

or a lunch break take the longer route

rather than the shorter route if you

have groceries instead of taking all the

freakin bags and one round I have three

flights of stairs that I do this with

take two bags at a time and go up and

down and up and down and up and down the

stairs and you’ll be amazing how much

walking you can kind of incorporate into

your daily routine our society is so

solitary based now that it’s really sad

it causes so much physical damage but

also mental damage this creates glitches

and our brain functions

it creates loss of connection to the

world which then increases depression so

much to benefit from from actually

moving your body movement creates flow

not only with your organs but with your

brain and just happiness in general so

the fourth step in order to implement a

healthy lifestyle is of course fueling

your body with the correct exercise and

food this is extremely important when it

comes to diet and exercise diet always

Trump’s exercise you can’t have a

healthy lifestyle if you’re working out

but then you’re eating like you have to

fuel your body that’s going to give you

the energy and recover quickly to keep

it going make sure that you’re watching

your portion sizes eat whole plant-based

foods the more color the better also

allow for flexibility you don’t want to

be too strict on yourself because and

again if you slip up you’ll end up

getting into a rut so in order to create

long-term success when it comes to diet

is to allow cheat days or cheat meals

and I hate the word cheat because it’s a

lifestyle it’s not like a diet that

you’re on if you want to designate one

day of the week to you know eating out

or going out with friends or having the

glass of wine that you want to drink at

night that’s what I kind of recommend

because if you don’t you’re gonna be so

strict to the point where it’s literally

going to plummet if God forbid you slip

if you have a hard time eating healthy

food try focusing on saying I choose to

eat this rather than I should eat this I

kind of tricks your brain into thinking

yeah I do want this you do your body

really does want the healthy food

changing up your Neher

in the way you talk about food is really

beneficial in creating long-term success

and when it comes to working out

obviously you want to make sure that

you’re moving your body every day

whether that’s through yoga taking your

steps every day could be a form of

exercise running you know strength

training cycling there’s so many

benefits to working out and increases

your endorphins you create happiness in

your life and of course you get the body

you want who doesn’t want that

so the fifth thing to implement a

healthy lifestyle is to learn something

new every day so many different ways to

get knowledge today you can watch a TED

talk watch a YouTube video listen to a

podcast I personally love to read you

can work on your skills whether that’s

cooking gardening art call a friend and

have like intellectual conversations I

do that a lot with my friend chase he’s

like super religious and I’m super

spiritual so we’ll sometimes like debate

in a really healthy way ask each other

questions about like our different views

it’s just a really fun way that I kind

of learn about religion there’s actually

something called the intellectual

devotional that I’m gonna put on my

Christmas list this year it’s basically

a journal that has like over 360 lessons

or something you like do once every

night and they have like you know

history mathematics fine art philosophy

and it’s like a lesson a day and they’re

really simple short ways to kind of keep

up with your education and I found that

like so amazing if you guys want to

check it out I’ll leave it link down

below but I definitely want to get that

for Christmas this year

so when you learn something every day

not only does it spark your creativity

but it also motivates and keeps your

inspiration up and going it kind of

keeps that drive keep implementing

healthy lifestyles and find new ways to

implement healthy lifestyles and overall

it just is such a great benefit so the

sixth thing that I have for you is a

nightly cleanup and when I say nightly

cleanup I mean your environment your

space you know do your dishes dust mop

create space for like a positive morning

put your workout clothes out and your

running shoes out if you want to work

out and run in the morning just kind of

create space for a positive tomorrow no

one likes to wake up to like a messy

apartment or a messy room in the morning

because that will just make you feel in

sluggish but not only that mentally give

yourself a nightly cleanup whether

that’s journaling meditate

practicing your daily gratitude I like

to do my daily mantras at night and I’ll

kind of just reflect on my day create

stillness in your mind because the day

is so overwhelming and we’ve come in

sumed with our thoughts and everything

that’s going on that when we get to the

end of the day not only do we have

trouble sleeping sometimes but our

mental chatter it can kind of create the

start of the new day and that mindset so

kind of just give yourself a mental dump

a mental cleanup every single night not

only for your environment but mentally

as well and the seventh way to implement

a healthy lifestyle is to keep the eight

dimensions of wellness in your mind at

all times like I said in the beginning

of this video it’s not just working out

and eating healthy there is so much more

to implementing a healthy lifestyle

having these eight dimensions of

wellness in your mind every single day

helps you create a positive space in

every aspect of your life so that eight

dimensions of wellness is emotional

spiritual physical occupational

financial environmental social and

intellectual keep those all in check and

make sure that you’re doing things every

day to create wellness within each of

those categories so that’s going to be

it for this video I hope you guys

enjoyed it thank you so much for

watching all the way to the end give
