What Makes Me Feel Good

Taking care of myself is an essential part of feeling balanced and energized, and I’ve come to realize that it’s the small, intentional actions that make the biggest difference in how I feel. Here are a few things that really help me start the day on the right foot and keep my energy up throughout.

Move My Body with a Morning Walk

One of the simplest and most effective ways to kick off my day is with a morning walk. There’s something about stepping outside and moving my body that makes me feel alive and ready to take on the day. Whether it's the crisp morning air, the quiet of the early hours, or just the act of stretching my legs, it’s a time when I can clear my head and set a positive tone for the day. Plus, being outdoors and connecting with nature is a wonderful way to ground myself.

Put My Phone Down

Let’s face it: phones can easily dominate our lives, especially first thing in the morning. One habit I’ve been working on is putting my phone down, at least for the first 30 minutes of my day. Instead of scrolling through social media or diving into emails, I allow myself time to just be. This helps me avoid unnecessary distractions and stay present with myself and my surroundings, giving me a calm start before I dive into the hustle and bustle.

Nourish Myself with All the Good Stuff

A big part of feeling good is what I put into my body. I love starting the day with a nutritious breakfast that fuels me for the day ahead. Whether it’s a fresh smoothie, a bowl of oatmeal, or something else packed with vitamins and nutrients, nourishing myself with wholesome food sets a positive foundation. It’s my way of showing love and care for my body, which I believe is the best way to feel strong and energized.

The Sun Outside :)

There’s just something about the sun that lifts my energy. Whether it's the warmth on my skin or the natural light flooding through the windows, the sun always seems to bring a little extra joy to my day. It reminds me of all the beauty in the world. On sunny days, I try to soak in as much as I can, letting the sunlight recharge me.

Positive Things and People

Surrounding myself with positive, uplifting people brings so much light into my life. I try to keep my mind focused on positive things, too, whether it’s reading an inspiring book, listening to motivating podcasts, or just taking a moment to reflect on the good in my life. Positivity is contagious, and I’m always striving to cultivate more of it, both within myself and in my interactions with others.

When I make time for these little things, moving my body, disconnecting from my phone, eating well, enjoying the sunshine, and embracing positivity, I feel my best. If you’re looking to feel good, too, I encourage you to try incorporating some of these practices into your routine. You might just be surprised at how much of a difference they can make!
