Daily self-care goals
Productivity routine is very important in this 2019 world full of speed and stress. It’s true what they say: breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. But, why? Well, you need to energy if you want to tackle the ambitious goals that you’ve set for yourself, so a balanced breakfast should always be part of your morning routine. I always like to think of my body like I think about a car. If I noticed that I was almost out of gas before I set off from home, I’d rush to the nearest gas station to fill up my tank. Without gas, my car won’t be able to continue moving forward. And it’s the exact same with my body – I need to put in the right amount of fuel (food) so that I can continue moving forward as an entrepreneur.
We’ve all heard that morning people are the most productive people: “You’ve got to be part of the 5 am alarm club! If you’ve slept in past 6 am, then you’re behind already!” or the infamous “The early bird catches the worm!” Groan. According to a 2012 study published by the American Psychological Association, participants who self-identified as “morning people” reported feeling “happier and healthier than night owls.” One hypothesis from the research, however, is that the typical 9-5 workday is geared to benefit those who function at their best earlier in the day.
Most successful people tend to include their ‘me-time’ in their morning routines. For some, that means spending time with their family and for others spending time alone. In either way, with a clear and fresh mind, this is a great time to be yourself and enjoy the moment. Read more details at Productivity.
Stop waiting – dress your best right now. This one is so important! Whether it’s losing weight, moving, graduating or something else: Your life is not on hold just because you haven’t achieved all of your goals yet! Never wait until some arbitrary point in the future to embrace your style and dress exactly how you want to dress. Separate your body hang-ups from your style. Don’t allow body hang-ups to keep you from embracing your personal style. Because regardless of whether they are valid (probably not), they are beside the point. Being mega beautiful is not a pre-requisite to having great style, plus dressing in tune with your own personal style will improve your overall confidence and thereby also how you feel about your appearance.
This may come as a surprise, but the indoor air can actually be up to ten times more polluted than the air outside. Therefore, if you really want to create a healthy environment in your home where you will be able to practice mindfulness to the fullest, make sure that your indoor air quality is as high as it can possibly get. Aside from maintaining, cleaning and airing out your home regularly, you should also consider getting a quality whole house air purifier to make sure that you provide everyone living in your home with fresh, safe and clean air that’s free of any allergens and other harmful particles.
If you’re only doing something because everybody else is doing it but you absolutely hate it, the more likely it is that you won’t commit to it.

To create a daily self-care routine that works for you and your lifestyle, try experimenting with different things that light you up and make you happy. Read more info at Well-designed life.
