And you’d be happy to read that this does not require you to make BIG changes that need too much time, effort, and mental preparation. Just some daily additions and changes that will bring about a big difference to your life, both mentally and physically.
Here are a few:
Morning bed routine
You have just woken up and if you’re not already late for the day, then you’re most likely scrolling through your phone. Drop this habit.
Instead, wake up a little early. And by this, we do not mean 5 or even 6 a.m. Maybe just 20 minutes earlier than your regular wake-up time. Take these few minutes to stretch, meditate or just get some light reading in. Your favorite fictional author or a self-help book. This little change will change the way you start your morning and carry on for the rest of the day.

Hydrate
Before you consume anything, start your day with one glass of water at the least. This helps improve digestive and metabolic functions.
Even though the rest of the day, one must remember to stay hydrated. This prevents fatigue, headaches, and low levels of dehydration. You have a busy day and you often forget to drink water? Then let’s use technology wisely and set hourly alarms to remind you to “Drink up”.

Swap to desi milk
Do away with all fizzy drinks and canned juices, and switch to desi milk as your preferred beverage. It is healthy, yes. But it is also creamy, delicious, and goes well with fruits to give you tasty, healthy milkshakes that you can consume with meals or as a snack.

Move
We spend hours in front of the screen, striving to meet deadlines. Even those of us who work from home are restricted in our movement. Make sure you take 8-10 minute breaks to walk around, stretch or try some desk exercises right from your work chair. This simple addition will improve your posture, prevent back pain, and re-energize your mind that will resulting in better work productivity and efficiency.

Avoid using your phone before bed
Using your phone right before you sleep, or depending on your phone to help you sleep will only worsen the quality of sleep that you may get.
The blue light from our screens fools our body into believing that it is the day, and this stops the body from releasing melatonin which is essential for quality sleep.
Keeping the phone away from your bed 30 minutes before you sleep is a good way to ensure good quality sleep.

Little changes for big gains. Try these and some more and notice how your day will gradually turn out to be more fulfilling and productive.
No heavy resolutions, no hectic decisions. Just some healthy little habits that will take you a long way.
