Gentle Habits For A Healthier Life

In today’s tech frenzied consumer driven world adopting small healthy daily or even weekly habits can have a tremendously positive impact and can renew and replenish our bodies and souls.

This month I share some ideas on how some small routines can uplift your life and benefit your wellbeing. It doesn’t have to be a drastic change, some simple routines can do wonders.

  • Move a little: Take a walk, stretch, dance, or choose stairs.
  • Protect your sleep: Keep a regular bedtime routine mine for instance is prayer followed by a book with the phone kept away.
  • Keep a regular morning routine. Mine for instance is prayer, followed by a moment of meditation in my balcony taking in all the early sun rays (which boosts vitamin D as well) then a cup of coffee.
  • Have a consistent exercise routine. My favorite is yoga, zumba or pilates at least 3 times a week.
  • Nurture connection: Check in with a friend or family member, or make time for a meaningful conversation.
  • Make time for work whilst taking mindful breaks: Pause between tasks to breathe, stretch, or step away from screens. Make sure the work environment is clutter free, comfortable and efficient.
  • Cook a healthy easy meal or you can simply blend together your favorite smoothie filled with fiber and fruit and incorporate that into your diet.
  • Opt for organic options in your diet and your personal items such as toiletries and cleaning products.
  • Notice something good: Write down one thing you appreciated or felt proud of that day.
  • Make the habit easy: Start with one small change and build from there.


Living healthier doesn’t necessarily have to mean changing everything at once. Often, it starts with small choices that we consciously and consistently make to make life healthier and richer. It takes about six weeks to develop a consistent habit and I encourage you to start today. The list I provided are simple habits that anyone can adopt. So have a productive and fulfilling month ahead filled with health, wealth and positivity for you are the most important project you get to work on!
