Here at VIVA GLAM Magazine, we are all about wellness. Total wellness comes from having a balanced regular fitness routine along with a healthy diet, a balanced mind, and a beneficial sleep schedule. As you can see, it’s much more than just diet and exercise. Wellness also consists of a healthy sexual life and relationships along with the ability to check in with yourself overall to ensure that you are in good health. Since this is a trending topic that we cover frequently, we are very well-versed in it; so, we thought it would be a great idea to discuss the full aspects of total wellness and what you can do for yourself to get more healthy this year and beyond.
Fitness
Traditionally, when I think of wellness, the first thing that comes to my mind is fitness. While fitness is most definitely a part of our total wellness, as mentioned above, it’s only a small part of it. Of course, that doesn’t mean it should be overlooked either. The first step in getting a healthier fitness routine for a better ‘you’ is to decide which full body workout is best for you. Everyone has different needs, and figuring out what works for you is pivotal for your overall wellness.
If you like to workout at home, you can reference the best exercises to get a full body workout and potentially try dance workouts! In fact, dance therapy has been known to heal stress and trauma. So, look into some of your favorite exercises and think about incorporating some music and dance into them!
When working out, be sure to take into account your menstrual phase to see if you’re in need of cozy cardio for the month. Your workout routine should always been fluid, as changing it up is good, and your fitness goals should grow and move as you learn more about your body and what it needs for your workouts. For instance, when it’s cold outside, there are some great indoor workouts for cold days and when it’s nice and warm, you can try some low-impact workouts for hot summer days. A healthy workout routine should be fluid with your time of the month as well as the time of the year.
If you start to feel weak after a workout, think about understanding the science of muscle repair to help you and consider these tips if you feel lightheaded after a workout, too. It could be that you haven’t picked the right impact exercise for yourself. But have no fear! We’re here to help you find the joy and motivation in your routine. With a bit of research and some time dedicated to yourself, you can have the best fitness routine and exercise wellness implemented into your life.
Food
Just as important as your movement and workout routine, your food intake and dieting are essential to a healthy lifestyle. For instance, you should think about exercise snacking if you have a regular exercise routine so you aren’t overdoing your snacks and also to ensure that you are eating healthy snacks. In that same vein, it’s also important to be mindful while you’re eating. Mindful eating can help you count your calories, eat healthier meals, and lose weight in the process. If you’re interested in clean eating, think about incorporating functional mushrooms in your diet, as it’s a great new trend for vegans who are conscious of their total wellness.
Speaking of a vegan diet, I think it’s safe to say that you already know we’re all about the vegan lifestyle here at VIVA GLAM. So, you should definitely consider reading up on the essential supplements for vegans and consider gentle cleansing detoxes to help your body feel and be healthier overall. Perhaps, you could give intermittent fasting a try; it’s a great new trend in the wellness world that can help you to lose weight and also manage your daily nutritional intake.
There are so many other ways in which a vegan lifestyle can help your chronic health. For instance, certain teas call help you fight off tiredness. Probiotics are exceptional additions to your skin health and to your gut health routine. After all, many vegan food choices are healthy for your gut and mind. If you’re interested in building muscle, there are great plant-based protein sources for muscle building, and that’s one of the few additional ways veganism can help your health. And if you haven’t ever tried to make your own bento box at home yet, I highly recommend trying it out!
As you can see, there are many trends you can try in the realm of food wellness. But in the base form, switching to a vegan diet and staying true to it is one of the best ways to stay healthy, so long as you pay attention to your nutrition and the amount of protein you are getting.
The Health of Your Mind
A healthy mind starts with a more optimistic outlook. You create the world you live in through your mindset, and a happy outlook makes the world of a difference. To achieve this, think about practicing more self-care to help improve your natural resistance. Other simple ways to improve the health of your mind is to establish your own style identity, a way to influence your self-image.
There are other ways in which you can make your self-improvement feel less stressful, for instance you can easily learn the art of unwinding and understand the importance of self-awareness. That’s the first step in learning whether or not you are burned out! Burnout is a strong natural enemy of your health, and it’s important to understand how to recover from burnout if you’re suffering from it. One quick and easy way to combat burnout is to find a healthy balance between your career and your lifestyle, and another way is to give yourself mental health days off. Another is to set boundaries for your work life to ensure it doesn’t infringe upon your home life and to manage your stressful schedule. Having control of all aspects of your life is one of the main secrets for total wellness.
As mentioned above, having a healthy career in balance with your home life is essential to your overall well-being. This starts with learning to transition from your college graduation into your first job. This is a great way to ensure continual mind-body health as you enter the workforce. Of course, mind-body health is more than just focusing on the balance in your life. For many people, it takes meditation and mindfulness!
Meditation
My personal favorite tip to help you find total wellness is through meditation. Meditation can be done with subconsciousness repatterning, with yoga, and with walking to add joy and balance into your life. After all, nature is extremely important to your health, so adding it into your routine is crucial to feeling your best. My personal favorite type of meditation is a manifestation meditation. By focusing on all the good in your life and sending out a great energy with willingness to bring forth success and happiness in your life, you can plan out your future and manifest the life you want to have.
One of the most famous modern forms of meditation is mindfulness. Mindfulness can start in the morning with your beauty routines and move with you throughout the day to your work. It’s about being present in the current moment, paying attention to everything happening around you, including how you move, what you see and hear, and how you feel. Being more mindful at work can actually help to add balance and success in your career. Mindfulness helps to remove blocks in your manifestations and helps you to access your divine feminine energy to transform your life.
Perhaps, think about adding crystals into your meditation routine or taking a digital detox to help control your stress levels. Think about journaling as a way to provide natural stress relief, too. Regardless, a healthy mind means less stress, which can be achieved through meditation, through manifestation, through mindfulness, and more.
Sleep
Adding healthy sleep habits into your life is another way to add wellness into your life. Healthy sleep habits allow you to be more present throughout the day, live with less stress, and feel happier overall. After all, there can be many detriments to your health if you aren’t getting enough sleep, such as ill effects to your hair and skin. But don’t worry, there are also many healthy daytime habits you can add into your day to help you sleep better such as regular exercise and cutting out heavy amounts of caffeine. There are also many activities you can try at bedtime to promote better sleep, and even steps you can take to improve the quality of your sleep such as establishing a regular sleep schedule. By focusing on your sleep habits as a part of your health, you can improve the overall quality of your life.
Sex and Relationship
Another important element in your total wellness is your sexual health and the health of your closest relationships. The first step in obtaining health in your romantic relationship is to understand your attachment style. Speaking the same love language as your partner is extremely important to the health of your relationship, too. Then, there’s understanding and potentially practicing sexual wellness with your partner. Things such as sexercise and body positivity can help contribute leaps and bounds to both your relationship and your mental health.
Overall Health
As mentioned above, fitness and exercise, diet and food, mental health and mindfulness, sleep, and sex all contribute to your overall health and wellness. And if you’re not feeling well, that’s yet another story. Are you feeling PMS? Try these ways to ease your PMS symptoms. By listening to your body and working to find a solution to your ailments, such as removing the discomfort from your neck and shoulders as you feel it, you can improve the quality of your life tenfold. Keeping these healthy habits and paying attention to your body, being fully mindful of your total self, can help you keep vitality into your later years. Following these attainable wellness rituals can give you optimal health and set you down the path for the best wellness journey for you!
