How to Create a Well-Being Lifestyle

Well-being is a foundation that sets you on a path so you can live a happier, healthier, wealthier life, doing what you love, and feeling peaceful.  Imagine life without an overwhelming to-do list. Create a daily routine that makes you feel good. Challenges will come and go. However, the daily rituals you implement will become automatic. You will likely experience increased confidence and days that flow with ease.  Begin your well-being journey today. Below are ideas for you to get started.

Here are three steps for creating your well-being success

Step one:

Begin the process by starting your day by stimulating your mind and body. Focus your thoughts on what you do want. Create change by doing something different so that you can achieve the goals you want right now.  For example, when you wake up, remember it’s a new day with new possibilities and opportunities.  What happened yesterday is in the past. Start by thinking about things that you are grateful for. Avoid focusing on negative thoughts of frustration or anger, what is not going well, and what you don’t want.  Instead, think positive thoughts. For example, thinking about a friend or loved one who makes you smile, starting a project that excites you, or being in your favorite vacation spot.

Step Two:

Prepare a plan of action. The key is to make it simple and start. Write down   3-5 things to accomplish each day.  For example, I journal, do 30 minutes of exercise, post on my Grow Your Wealth and Well-Being Facebook group, and work on relationship-building on social media. Whatever I don’t complete during that day, I add to the plan for the next day until I do the task.

Step Three:

Schedule time each day to do something you love. Decide you are going to do at least one item each day towards one of your goals.

The key is to be consistent, and disciplined and take small action steps on your journey. Be patient, trusting the result will happen. Avoid telling yourself stories of what you can’t do that could sabotage your success. Change your thoughts to believing you can do it. Train your mind to be positive and take an optimistic outlook as you manage your daily decisions. Focus on getting clear on where you want to go, and what goals you want to achieve, and make the daily commitment that will get you there. In time you will accomplish what you never imagined possible.

Begin with creating a few simple daily habits or rituals.  For example, perhaps you decide to write a book, then you need to create time in your day to write. Thinking you need to find 3-4 hours at a time may be overwhelming to you. Instead, decide you will write a minimum of 150 words daily for five days a week. You will be surprised at how much you accomplish when you create the writing habit. In a short period, you will be well on your way to completing the goal you desire. Some days you may feel inspired and write even more. You can approach improving your well-being in the same way. You don’t have to change everything all at once. One change leads to another.

You may be a person who likes to start your day working out early in the morning. If you would like to make this happen, schedule a time on your calendar.  I worked out in the morning for many years. However, later in my journey, it worked better for me to work out after work to manage my stress and shift my thoughts away from the stock market.  This gave me a sense of inner peace. By creating habits that are doable for you, you can make them sustainable.  What simple habits can you start now to develop new patterns for your well-being success?

Simple Daily Sustainable Well-Being Habits

• Eat a healthy breakfast. Instead of saying, “I don’t have time to eat,” find what works for you. I added an Arbonne protein shake every day for breakfast. Giving my body healthy nutrients helped control my sugar levels and reduce mood swings. I could focus better and be calmer and happier.
• Increase your water intake to improve your well-being.
• Give yourself a few minutes of alone time each day so that you can clear your thoughts and relax.
• Take a walk. Find 10 minutes, grab your headset, and listen to your favorite music or inspiring self-growth audio.
• Write down 5 – 10 things you are grateful for. This habit will help you focus on the good and get you in a positive frame of mind.

Creating discipline will lead you on your journey towards achieving the goals you desire, setting yourself up for success. Get started taking simple action steps one at a time. Explore and experiment until you find what feels like the right combination for you. Get to a point where your habits become automatic.

If you are patient, the action steps you take will become easier, because you will gain confidence as you practice, and you will begin to feel better and stronger.  Once you see the change, you will be ready to add a few more.  Your dedication makes a difference. Decide today to make your well-being a priority.

Start using these principles.

Ignite Your Well-Being

• Say kind words to yourself by creating powerful statements that give you confidence and inspire you. For example, “I am doing it. I am taking responsibility no matter what. I will succeed. I am smart and successful”
• Invest in your personal development.
• Be compassionate to yourself and others.
• Do your best.
• When you’re challenged, stop and ask yourself, “How can I make it simple?” Concentrate on finding the solution, not on the problem.
• Be optimistic about what you can make happen.

As you shift your thoughts to a more positive attitude and a winning mindset, you will be more peaceful, less frustrated, and more focused. Watch your productivity increase. Daily effort on your path to well-being includes learning new practices for taking care of your mind and body. As you choose the path of well-being, it’s ok to ask others for help when you need it. You can find the right combination for you. Get started with a few simple habits. Small victories will lead to big changes.  Take the first step today in finding your right balance so you can feel great and accomplish your wellness goals on your well-being journey.
