If you are already wondering what you might give up for lent, we might have a few ideas. When it comes to improving your health, it is always true that the bigger and bolder changes are much more likely to produce the bigger and bolder responses in your body, and that means improving your life all the more as a result.
The question, of course is which of these changes to actually make, and that is something that is arguably up for debate. If you are keen to improve your health this year, it might be time to start looking into some big and bold changes so that you can see some truly enormous results. Let’s look to some examples of the kinds of changes you might want to make.
Give Up Drinking
Whether or not you consider yourself to have a problem with drinking alcohol, we can all agree that to give it up is definitely a good idea for the body and the mind. Of course this can be easier said than done, and if you do think you might have a problem then you will probably want to use the assistance of a professional drug and alcohol center to help you through it. However, the more of a dependence you have on it, the bigger and bolder this is as a move, so the more benefits it will have or you.
Everyone should consider giving up or at least cutting down on their drinking this year, as it can have a number of fantastic health benefits for you, no matter who you are or what your relationship to alcohol might be.
Commit To A Workout Schedule
We are all familiar with the process of starting to workout only to give up again a while later. If you really want to make it last this time, it might be time to commit to a workout schedule. Try to make it fairly full-on without being over the top, as this will ensure that you are actually going to stick to it and be more likely to get a lot form it as well.
But if you put too much on your own plate, you are not actually going to be doing yourself any favors at all, so it is all about finding the right balance here. Nonetheless, in whatever form, this is a change which can really improve your life for the better, and it’s worth considering.
De-Stress
Here’s one of the best commitments you can make for yourself: not to allow stress to affect your daily life. Everyone gets stressed, it’s a fact of life, but there is little use in getting stressed about the stress.
If you want to improve your health this year, make sure to make a pledge to yourself not to allow stress to take over your life. The more that you actively focus on reducing stress, the more likely it is that you will be able to master it, and you will find before long that this really does make a difference to how you feel inside yourself, physically and mentally. This is a powerful thing, so give it a go.
