If you are like me, and many of my clients- we are always working towards self betterment. Over the years, I’ve included all kinds of new healthier habits to improve my life, and although I always share those with my clients- today I want to share them with you too!

If you've ever found yourself in the situation of wanting to change some parts of your life but not knowing where to start, I want to encourage you to start small. The decision to start will get the ball rolling, and starting small with mini-habits that become part of your routine will bring the lasting change you desire. Much more efficiently than you might expect, even.

Here are some of my favorite and quick one to two-minute habits that you can begin to incorporate into your own life. Try to include one new habit each week, and you'll be surprised how quickly they become a regular part of your everyday routine. And even better, these tiny habits yield significant results.

Even with a busy schedule, you can find time to fit in some self-care and down time into your life throughout the day, and it's imperative that you do.

Let’s start with self-care.

All aspects of self-care, including physical, emotional, and social, contribute to your overall wellbeing. Having a self-care routine decreases stress, lessens anxiety, and increases your feelings of happiness.

And let’s touch on sleep.

Science has proven again and again the importance of sleep and how crucial it is to a healthy body. When we aren't sleeping enough, we see various symptoms alerting us that something needs to change. Even if we get more rest, we are supporting our body, it doesn’t have to be a full night sleep to recharge (although that is important too) There are actually several different types of rest we can be focusing on adding to our lives regularly.

Here are a few practical ways you can build self-care into your busy schedule and prioritize some extra rest for a balanced approach to wellness.
