These are certainly turbulent times. With less available work, lower pay, bills, demands of children and family, it is harder than ever to maintain a healthy, balanced lifestyle. If you’re like most people, you are working longer hours and are busier than ever, so it’s important not to overlook your personal health. Here are some tips to maintain balance:
Be sure to eat well.
A good guideline is: “eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.” A bad diet interferes with sleep and promotes weight gain.
Don’t stop exercising.
We all have the same 24 hours each day, so you have to prioritize time to take care of yourself. It doesn’t have to be a big block of time, even walking 15 minutes twice daily will greatly help. Everything counts. Get a pedometer and try to do 10,000 steps daily.
Make time for family and relationships.
Schedule a date with your spouse or significant other at least weekly. Tons of things to see and do in Orange County are practically free.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
If your life feels out of control, talk to a friend, a pastor, physician, or therapist. If you have serious anxiety or depression symptoms, don’t ignore them.
