Life races past at 100mph and staying healthy and keeping
fit can be an uphill struggle when you’re busy. Finding the time to stay
healthy and in shape can be difficult for anyone. But when you’re an
entrepreneur whose work seems to follow you around everywhere, it’s a task that
seems nearly impossible.
A great way to focus your time on the things you value, such
as staying healthy and fit. Being healthy is more important than being what we
usually do. Can't do it because you are too busy? No! You’re wrong. Here are my
tips that will help you find time so that you can keep in tip-top shape.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE LIST--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To make it start, you should list down the vacant and your busy day’s schedule.
Once you’ve got your list, number each activity in terms of
how much of a priority it is for you, starting at number one and working your
way down. At the end of this task you’ll have a list of the activities you
value. Try to always fit in at least one of your top three priorities per day,
even if it’s just for 15 minutes.
MEALS
Cooking more meals at home can help you take charge of what you’re eating and better monitor exactly what goes into your food. Cutting back on unhealthy foods in your diet, it’s important to replace them with healthy alternatives. Skipping meals is not a good idea; it can gain more weight because calories gives you an uneven distribution of calories throughout the day and it are easy to create late-night cravings that foster poor eating habits by skipping meals.
EXERCISE
You do not always have to exercise for an hour to reap the benefits and as soon as you understand this you will be able to exercise more regularly, even when you have a jam-packed day. For example, you can do four minutes of kettle bell exercises, four minutes of abs work and two minutes of squats and lunges.
SLEEP
Find a way to get more of it! Sleep will not only help you trim down your waistline but it will enhance your overall health exponentially. Schedule in sleep hours like you would schedule important meetings and prioritize it. Do not compromises sleep? 7-8 hours a night is ideal. You’ll notice that you not only feel better, but you will perform better at work.
RELAX
When you are chasing a day full of meetings with a busy evening your stress levels are probably sky-high and stress has a terrible impact on your health and well-being. Therefore one of the best things you can do to stay healthy and fit is to learn how to relax. If you don’t have time to meditate or take a hot bath, studies have found that even the anticipation of laughter can help us to relax and reduce stress levels in the body. So, take a look at some funny YouTube videos to help you unwind.
LIVE WITH AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE
If you struggle to find the time to get to the gym or to get to your dance class then incorporating exercise into your lifestyle might help you to stay healthy and fit even when your schedule is maxed. For example, carry your shopping home rather than getting a cab, do some gardening with your partner on your date night, or go swimming with a friend instead of meeting for coffee.
