(1) Drink lots of water! Water is important for good health. Your body is estimated to be 60-70% water. Your body needs water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all your organs. Water also transports oxygen to your cells, removes waste, and protects your joints and organs.(2) Drink green tea without sugar instead of soft drinks or juice. It is said that green tea raises the metabolism and increase fat oxidation. Tea is healthy!
(3) Workout with others. To make sure you do a workout, there's nothing like the social pressure of knowing someone else is waiting for you. So make an appointment to work out with a friend or two.
(4) Smile. A smile is one of your greatest asset because of the signals and messages it gives to others about who we are, what we want and how we wish to be. Smiling improves your health, your stress level and your attractiveness. People are drawn to people who smile. We see a person smiling and want to know what is so good. Smiling makes us feel better. Smiling is contagious.
(5) Volunteer. When you volunteer your time for a great cause; the rewards you reap are far greater and deeper than any you receive from work or school, because you can't help but feel more positive about life and more thankful for the circumstances in your life that allow you to volunteer and help others.
(6) Read a good book. Reading is nourishment for your mind. Knowledge is powerful food for the mind and soul. It encourages us to think as well as increases our thirst to learn more.
(7) Develop a wardrobe around a staple. You know what look good on you, so why not always look good by developing a wardrobe around that staple piece. For me this spring that item is the bustiere. I know they look good on me, so I plan to incorporate them into my outfit at least 2-3 times per week this spring. Find the item that works for you and WORK IT!
(8) Send a friend or loved one a card - just because. It is always great to know that someone is thinking about you. Share that special feeling of knowing someone thinks you are special with a friend by sending them a card or note via snail mail...YES SNAIL MAIL...letting them know that you are thinking about them. It will brighten their day as well as yours!
(9) Make a play date. Yup, I said a play date. Play a day of fun either alone or with a good friend. Visit an amusement park or museum. Try paintball. Do something that you will enjoy and do it without guilt.
(10) Eat at least 10 servings of raw fruits and vegetables a day. TRUST ME. Your body will thank you for it and reward you ten-folds!
