5 Positive Changes I’m Making To My Routine

Life is all about change and I’m making some positive changes to my daily routine. They’re really simple changes that I’m making in my daily life that help me to stay productive but also keep myself in a more positive mindset.

01. Increase my water intake

Water intake is incredibly important, but there are a few simple ways I can easily increase my water intake. I have a a water bottle that holds 2 litres, and it really does help me to increase my water intake.

I also use Plant Nanny which is an app that reminds you every so often to drink your water and stay hydrated. This has literally been the most amazing app, and it is super easy to use.

02. Waking up earlier

Lately I’ve been waking up earlier, and to be honest, it has been a godsend. I’ve woken up every morning, watched the sunrise, with my first cup of coffee, do my yoga and it has been the most relaxing start to the morning.

Find a routine that will work wonders for you, you don’t have to have a cup of coffee, you could just do your workout. Whatever that is, do more of what makes you tick.

Start off small, I’m not saying if your wake up time normally is 8am, start off waking up at 5.30am. Start off small and work up to it!

03. Moving my body more

My FitBit has personally been the best purchase I could have ever made. It will remind me every hour to move and get some steps in. It isn’t as straight forward though, for example if you have meetings, but just moving a bit more, getting some steps in and stretching.

Sitting at a desk can definitely put pressure on your back, so make sure even if it is some simple stretches, just to move a bit.

04. Focus on what matters

Sometimes it can be really hard to find focus in your life, especially when we live incredibly busy lives. Lately I’ve learned to take a positive look at my life, and just make sure that I’m putting energy into the right places.

Ensuring that you’re focusing on what matters to you, making sure you’re not wasting time on things that don’t matter is important.

05. Learning to switch off my phone

Switching off my phone is so important in the evening. We are all very guilty of saying oh I’ll just have a little scroll through Instagram. Stop. Don’t do it.

I have a routine where I do my skincare, brush my teeth, get into bed and start reading my book. It is probably one of the most relaxing things ever! Although a top tip, don’t read a psychological thriller right before bed because you will be dreaming about that psychological thriller.

The most important thing is you find a wind down routine, that doesn’t include your phone, because I’ve found it can really keep me awake at night.

These are my top tips though, what are you adding to your wind down routine? Let me know in the comments!
