- Breathe
Completing, even simple, breathing exercises daily has been proven to reduce stress, increase energy levels, and lower blood pressure. Incorporate slow, deep abdominal breathing into your morning routine for a calming start to your day.
- Complete a Daily ‘Quick Journal’
Take a few moments each day to write one sentence that represents a feeling or action you experienced throughout the past 24 hours. Not only is this a timely emotional outlet, but fun to look back on down the road.
- Get matched with a Tutor for live homework help on Brainly
While this may seem like it could take a long time, homework help platforms such as Brainly, can get you connected with a tutor in less than 10 seconds. In no time at all, you can be looped in with a specialist to assist in your educational goals and plans!
- Shoutout a Small Business
While working on ourselves is great, it is important to share kindness with others. Reposting or sharing a message from a small business on social media or amongst friends is an easy way to spread kindness and support those you care about.
- Disconnect From Your Phone
Take a moment to turn your notifications off. Focus on the moment and enjoy your day without the draw to check your social media… and sometimes even your email.
- Learn a New Word with Dictionary.com
Dictionary.com posts a daily word of the day for users to study and practice in their vocabulary. This is a great way to expand your current knowledge base as well as challenge your mind to incorporate the word into your daily conversations.
- Stretch
Stretching is proven to decrease risk of injury and increase muscle blood flow. The greatest focus for a daily stretch is on your largest muscle groups. By focusing on one muscle each day, you should begin to notice strengthened and more flexible muscle mobility over time.
- Send a Friend a Quick Note
Life can often get in the way of our relationships and the “little moments”. Utilize a moment of your day to say hi to a friend or loved one that you may not have connected with in a while. Letting them know you’re thinking of them is a great way to brighten their day and strengthen your relationships.
- Delete Junk Mail From Your Inbox
We often won’t notice clutter growing over time. A great habit to form is taking a few seconds each day to delete compiled junk mail from your email inbox, paper mail that might be sitting on your counter, or even a few items out of that junk drawer that is becoming hard to close.
- Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle
Giving back to the environment can oftentimes be just as beneficial to us as giving back to our friends and loved ones. Create a habit of reusing plastic takeout containers, or opting for a reusable water bottle rather than something created for one-time use.
