It's almost that time of year when people are brainstorming New Year's resolutions... get fit, save money, do more good deeds, etc. This year why don't you challenge yourself a little more with these healthy habits?

1. Replace your phone with a good book.

This is especially helpful before you go to bed!

2. Get 8 hours of sleep.

Yes, that means go to sleep earlier, not hit the snooze.

3. Drink lemon water in the morning.

Lemon water boosts your immune system, boosts energy, freshens breath, and promotes healthy and rejuvenated skin.

4. Make lists to stay motivated.

This can be done every night before bed or when you wake up every morning.

5. Write down what you are thankful for.

This helps you to have a positive attitude and keeps your mind off negative things in life.

6. Go on walks every day.

Walking is not only good for your physical health but also alleviates depression and fatigue.

7. Wake up earlier.

This allows you more time to eat the most important meal of the day and start your morning off right without being rushed.

8. Plan your meals.

This will make you more conscious of what you are consuming and likely encourage a healthier diet!

9. Clean and organize your living space.

Living in chaos is never good! Make your day a little easier just by knowing where you can find everything you need.

10. Designate one night a week for self-care.

11. Take your vitamins.

Biotin for healthy skin and hair. Vitamin B for a good immune system. Vitamin D for strong and healthy bones. Vitamin C for reducing wrinkles and boosting your immune system.

If you haven't already picked up these healthy habits I hope they make your 2018 just a little bit better!
