9 good habits that you may want to get into

Developing good habits can greatly improve our overall well-being. This article will show you 9 very simple things that you might want to change in your life.

Your smartphone

One important habit is to disconnect your mobile phone, especially during sleep.

While it may be acceptable to keep your phone nearby if you live with family, it is recommended to keep it at least 2 meters away from your head or pillow if you live alone or are away from your family. This helps reduce exposure to electromagnetic radiation and promotes better sleep quality.

Eating and drinking

Another important habit to adopt is drinking water while sitting down and taking the time to chew your food thoroughly before swallowing.

Additionally, it is recommended to drink at least 8 glasses of water daily to stay properly hydrated.

By incorporating these habits into your routine, you can promote better digestion and overall well-being.

Walking

Walking daily is a great way to improve your overall health. This is great exercise, and it does make a difference.

Aim to walk for at least 15-20 minutes each day, and if possible, try walking barefoot in a park or natural setting.

Walking barefoot can help to strengthen your feet and improve balance and posture. Additionally, spending time in nature can have a calming and rejuvenating effect on the mind and body.

So lace up your shoes or kick them off and add this healthy habit into your daily routine!

Always let others know where you are

Develop good habits for personal safety.

One such habit is to always share your details and live locations with trusted individuals when leaving for somewhere at late evening/night or visiting a new place. This ensures that someone is aware of your whereabouts and can provide assistance if needed.

Never stop learning

One important habit to get into is the constant desire for knowledge and continuous learning.

Whether it's acquiring new skills, staying informed about current events, or exploring new subjects, the habit of lifelong learning can broaden your horizons and keep you intellectually stimulated.

By making a commitment to stay curious and open-minded, you can ensure that you are constantly growing and evolving.

Did you know that, for every person in the world, it can be said that there is more they don't know than there is they do know.

No matter how intelligent a person is, there is always a need to learn new things.

Exercise

A very important habit to incorporate into your daily routine is physical exercise.

Setting aside time each day for activities such as walking, jogging, or yoga can improve your overall fitness and well-being. One of the most popular excercises is the treadmill. I recommend the manual treadmill, because it gives you a much better workout, and you will feel much better.

Additionally, engaging in mental exercises, such as puzzles or reading, can help keep your mind sharp and enhance cognitive function.

Another beneficial habit is practicing pranayama, a form of controlled breathing commonly used in yoga. This technique can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve respiratory health.

By incorporating these habits into your daily life, you can cultivate a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle.

Save water

When using a wash basin or the sink, it is important to avoid keeping the tap open with running water. This applies to activities such as washing your face, brushing your teeth, and dishwashing. By conserving water in these everyday tasks, we can contribute to the effort of saving our planet.

Remember, every drop counts!

Never waste food

This is one of my strongest pet peeves, and one I take very seriously.

Never waste food. Whether it's at home, on your plate, or at social gatherings like parties or weddings, it's important to be mindful of the amount of food you consume and not let any go to waste.

Remember, the food that you might waste could have been used to feed someone who is hungry. By being conscious of this, you can contribute to reducing food waste and making a positive impact on those in need.

If a person stops me on the street, says he's hungry, and asks for money, I am going to help him, no questions asked.

I don't care how he looks or how he smells. If he tells me he's hungry, I have to believe him.

If he's not telling me the truth, and intends to use the money for a shot of whiskey, that's his business, and not mine.

I can live with this. But what I can't live with is knowing I prevented a starving person from eating.

Always have a First Aid Kit

Always have a well-stocked first aid kit at home, including essential emergency medicines.

When traveling, it is advisable to carry medications for common ailments such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and allergies. However, it is best to consult a healthcare professional for specific medication recommendations.

A habit is like a comfortable bed - Easy to get into but hard to get out of.

Conclusion

Some of these simple habits could possibly save your life, or the lives of others.

Develop some good habits. And good habits will always stay with you.
