Most people seem to thnk that in order to become healthier, we need to go tothe gym every day and eat hardy anything, This, however, is really not the way to go about changing your unhealthy habits. Just afew, basic changes to our daily routine can improve our heath dramatically. ifyou are the kind of person who keeps trying to exercise regularly but keep fang, is time to think agan about your atttue. t's important not to focus on your failures, but instead be positive about your successes. Instead of being unfappy because you didn’t go to the gym five times last week, be proud ofthe fact that at least you went twice. (One good reason to eat heathily is that it could improve your mood, A recent survey has found that 80 percent of people felt beter when they changed what they ate or drank. A quarter of them said their bad moods and stress disapeared, The greatest benefit was fel after drinking more water, eating more vegetables, reducing sugar and cutting down on coffee ‘Another way of improving your mood and reducing stress isto take care when you do things. f you start something, make sure you finish it - even if tis @ minor task. Doing so can make you fel happier. When you get close to achieving something, your brain sends cout reward signals that make you fee postive. Fialy you should make sure that you get plenty of step. Don't have too many late ight, although an occasional one won't do you any harm. Without slep, the brain can't work propery and you'l get depressed.
