3 No Cost Habits that Keep You Fit and Healthy

by Tincuta Nitu

Most habits that keep you fit and healthy are also budget-friendly. There are 3 habits that can tremendously change the quality of your life. These habits do not take up a lot of your time.

In fact, when you think about it, adopting these habits will help you get more energy and organize in a way that you are left with a sense of accomplishment. This, in turn, translates into more free time. Imagine what you could achieve with extra time.

Most of you are reading this because you want to achieve a goal. You want to lose weight, gain muscle, get fit, breathe better, lower stress, balance hormones, increase energy or simplify your lifestyle.

With that in mind, the following habits will help you create a strong foundation for you to grow and achieve what you want. As a starting point, you need to realize that you cannot achieve anything by simply sitting and not moving all day long.

Habit 1: Energize Through Exercise

Have you ever noticed how you lack energy even if you’ve been sitting or sleeping? Most people usually associate sitting and sleeping with rest. That is not always the case.

The mere fact that you sleep or catch your breath will not replace the lack of oxygen and nourishment that your body needs every day.

Exercise is an amazing way to support your body.

Even if you have a desk job, getting up every hour or more frequently helps your body get proper oxygenation.

You don’t even have to do all the work actually.

Once you plant that seed and allow yourself to feel reenergized after a workout or a walk, your body will send signals letting you know it’s time to get up and move.

And it will be so rewarding that you will continue doing it for fun.

Exercise causes the body to produce hormones that make you feel strong, empowered, and unstoppable. With a clear mind, it’s easier to map out your plan and make the best decisions to get the body and health that you want.

Habit 2: Relax Through Meditation

Another way to fuel your organizational skills and provide the setting to become the creator of your own path is through meditation. Meditation does not have to take hours to be effective. You simply need a few moments or minutes of silence and focus.

Most meditation techniques focus on the breath. This action brings awareness to the present moment.

The fact that breathing is such an effortless process, allowing it to guide your thoughts to a place of silence and relaxation, will surely empower you.

Once you eliminate the confusion and the overstressed part of daily activities, you start to see things froma different perspective.

Through meditation and patience, you get answers and solutions you’ve been looking for all your life.

Meditation also helps you lit your imagination. When you use guided meditation, you are thrown into a new world, a new setting and a sense that everything is possible. In fact, meditation is the means through which you bring awareness towards awareness. The easiest way to get started is to meditate before sleep. By doing so, you will become calmer and more relaxed. Meditation will help boost your immune system and improve your sleeping patterns.

Habit 3: Rejuvenate Through Sleep

There can be no life without sleep. As much as you may want to stay awake more, you need proper rest.

A rested body, mind, and spirit bring you more energy and clarity.

Your body reconstructs itself during sleep. Cells and tissues rejuvenate.

Controversy surrounds the issue of how much you should sleep.

The truth is nobody can give a clear answer as sleep is as personalized as a nutritional plan.

Some people do great with 5-6 hours a night, others with 7-8. There are people who may need an afternoon nap and others who don’t.

The key to figuring out how much sleep you actually need is to pay attention to what your body is saying.

Once you wake up, your body lets you know what it’s missing. If you feel a constant lack of energy when you wake up, that’s your body’s way of telling you it needs proper fuel. After you resolve potential nutritional deficiencies, get into the habit of going to bed when you feel sleepy. Go to bed early and wake up early. Experiment for a while and see whether you can wake up early without an alarm.

Exercise, Meditation and Sleep

These 3 no cost habits have the potential to change your life entirely. Regardless of what habit you want to develop first, your health will improve as a result of making even a small change.

In the beginning, you might need to set reminders to either exercise, meditate or sleep. When you notice you have spare time to exercise or meditate, take advantage of those moments. If you feel sleepy and there’s nothing holding you back from dosing off but your phone, get dreaming. You are infinitely more important than any other thing or activity.

Whenever you want to adopt a new habit, imagine you are going on an adventure. This particular adventure might take from 14 days to 66 days. Most agree that 66 days is the amount of time it takes for an activity to become an automatism. What’s certain is that you get fitter and healthier with every moment you work on a new habit.
