5 Daily Non-Negotiables

March 3, 2017 by darcibos Leave a Comment

There are many things you can do daily to change up routine or create a new one. These are my 5 Daily Non-Negotiables and if you can follow just these simple steps, I guarantee you will have a better day and an even better oulook on life.

These are just a few of the things I have taken on myself as routine each day and they give me such a brighter, healthier, happier day.

1. Wake With Water

Upon waking drink 8-16oz of water right away. What this will do for your body is:

  • fires up your metabolism – drinking a large, cool glass of water has been shown to boost your metabolism for up to 90 min
  • hydrates you – when you sleep for 7-8 hours at night without any water you wake up dehydrated. Even if you don’t feel thirsty
  • flushes out toxins – getting fluids into your body right away will help flush out toxins
  • helps brain function – when you aren’t properly hydrated your brain operates on less fluid making you feel drained and exhausted
  • gets the body movin’ – water helps the functionality of our intestines, basically it helps ya go to the bathroom!

2. Break For Breakfast

  • lowers the risk of heart disease
  • gives you natural energy
  • helps your memory and performance
  • keeps you away from those cravings for high carbs
  • lowers your risk of type 2 diabetes

3. Motivate Your Mind

  • devotional – if you are like me and need to stimulate your soul you will head to the bible or a daily devotional to get your day started off right and positive
  • personal development – this can be a combination of things, but maybe you are more into motivational speakers, books or videos
  • having a time in your day where you fill your mind with something positive or uplifting will give you a sense of direction for the day. It will also keep your thoughts more positive and keep you off the destructive self talk path
  • you will be more resilient when it comes to negative comments and talk from others.

4. When In Doubt Workout

  • no matter how you feel; lazy, tired, under the weather, sad, make sure you have some form of workout
  • take a walk around the yard, squat while watching T.V., lunge down the hallways, do sit-ups before bed
  • exercise promotes a healthy heart
  • can help prevent sickness
  • releases endorphins creating a happier mind and body
  • helps relieve stress

5. Rest Easy

  • our bodies need rest, my husband and I love to stay up late and chat, watch T.V., & hangout, but lately we have been getting to be at a decent time and I can’t believe how much better we feel
  • gives you energy and improves athletic performance
  • can improve concentration and helps with brain function
  • helps with depression – mental health issues are strongly linked to poor sleep quality
  • improves immune function

If you are looking for small steps to take to improve yourself and your day, I highly recommend starting here. Even if you can start with one or two of these a week and work your way up, you will start feeling better and more fulfilled on a daily basis!
