New Year You! How To Stay Active All 2023.










Introduction

When looking at the New Year, you may be feeling a little overwhelmed. You might not know where to start or how to keep yourself motivated throughout the year. The good news is that there are many things you can do to stay active while also making sure you're mentally and physically healthy. In this article, we'll go over some of these things so that your New Year will be full of success!

Exercise.

Exercise.

It’s not just great for your body, it’s also good for your mind. Exercise can help you sleep better, feel more positive, more confident, and motivated, and even improve your memory. Studies have shown that regular aerobic exercise can help slow down the process of aging by improving cardiovascular health, reducing blood pressure, and keeping weight in check (which means less stress on joints). A study conducted by researchers at Harvard University found that people who exercised regularly had better scores on tests designed to measure different aspects of memory function than those who didn't work out often or at all.

So get up! Get moving! You'll feel better if you do—and it'll make you look better too!






Eat healthy food.

While it's important to stay active, you also need to make sure your body is getting the nutrients it needs.

Eat more fruits and vegetables! The only way to do this is by eating them raw, steamed, or cooked in a healthy way with no added sugars or preservatives. Avoid processed foods like pasta sauces and canned soups as they tend to be high in sodium which can increase blood pressure and contribute towards osteoporosis (bone loss). Instead opt for fresh ingredients such as tomatoes, onions, and garlic grown organically without pesticides on your vegetable patch at home!

Avoid junk food like potato chips/crisps that contain high levels of saturated fat which can clog up arteries leading to hardening of the arteries known as atherosclerosis. This leads to an increased risk for heart attack when combined with other risk factors such as smoking cigarettes or being overweight - so avoid these bad boys at all costs!

Sleep well.

When you're sleeping, your body is hard at work repairing itself and reducing inflammation. It's also a great time for your brain to process everything that happened during the day, so don't skimp on sleep just because you're busy or stressed out! The National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults get seven to nine hours of sleep each night—but how much sleep do you actually need?





Make new friends.

  • Find people who are positive and happy. They will help you maintain a positive outlook on life, even when things aren't going so hot at the moment.

  • Find people who are supportive of your goals. They'll be there to encourage you when you need it most, especially if those goals include losing weight or getting fit!

  • Find people who have similar goals and interests as yours--like taking up running, for example! It's nice to have someone else who understands what it's like to run long distances every weekend (or at least try).


Set goals for yourself.

Set goals for yourself.

Setting goals is one of the most important things you can do to achieve success in any area of your life. Your goals are something you want to achieve, and these goals will help drive your actions and keep you motivated toward reaching them. If there's something that's been on your mind lately, why not get started by setting a series of goals for how to achieve it? Once you've done that, we'll show you some other ways to stay active throughout this New Year!



Take care of your body!

  • Eat healthily.

  • Get enough sleep (at least 7 hours).

  • Stay active! Take walks, go swimming and leave your car at home. Find fun ways to move that you enjoy.

  • Drink plenty of water! Drink about 2 liters per day (4 cups). If you are doing well with this then keep going until you start feeling full. It's important not to drink too much because it can lead to dehydration or even water intoxication! Also, avoid juices or other sugary drinks because they can cause cavities and tooth decay if consumed in large quantities over time.




Success is often linked with keeping active.

Who doesn't want to be more successful? The link between success and activity is a no-brainer. Active people are more productive, have more energy, and live healthier lives than their sedentary counterparts. In fact, they tend to make more money as well!

But what does all this mean for you? Well, it means that if you're not feeling like your best self lately—if perhaps you've lost some of the energy or drive that was once so characteristic of your personality—then maybe it's time for a change in lifestyle. Maybe it's time to take up some kind of exercise routine (whether vigorous or casual). Or perhaps there's another hobby that could be helpful: rock climbing or dancing lessons might be just the thing you need to rekindle your zest for life!

Being positive can help you stay active.

If you're someone who's looking to stay active this year, creating a positive mindset can help. A positive mindset is more likely to result in increased productivity and achievement of goals, according to an analysis of over one thousand studies on the topic by the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). This can also lead to greater happiness and health. And if that weren't enough, having a positive attitude will make you more successful in general!

How to organize your active life.

The first thing you need to do is set goals for yourself. Write down a list of activities, people, and places that make you happy and fulfilled. Think about what your ideal day would look like.

Now, break those larger goals into smaller, achievable steps that are manageable over time: Instead of writing “I want to get better at basketball” as one single ambition, try something like “sign up for a basketball class once a week” or “play with my friends more often in the evenings after work” instead.

Next up is prioritizing your tasks: What are the most important things on this list? Which ones can wait? Which ones deserve more attention than others? Are there any steps in between the big goals—for example, if you want to play basketball more often but don't have time right now because work is busy—and how can those be achieved? Once again: be realistic! Don't wait until 2024 just because it seems so far away; start tomorrow if possible!

Once you have a list of your goals, set out to achieve them. Start by putting in the hard work and effort needed to get started—this will help build momentum and keep you motivated. If you're stuck on how to start, try brainstorming ideas with your friends or family members; they may have some great suggestions that can help jumpstart your progress!

The health benefits of being active.

  • Exercise can help you sleep better. A study from the University of California, Berkeley found that people who exercised in the evening had a more restful night’s sleep than those who didn’t exercise at all or those who exercised in the morning.

  • Exercise can help you think more clearly. Research presented by the American Psychological Association showed that just 20 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity—like a brisk walk or jog—can improve your ability to think and concentrate for up to two hours afterward.

  • Exercise can make you feel less stressed out and happier overall by improving mental health and brain function. According to Psychology Today: “Exercise increases serotonin levels (the neurotransmitter responsible for happiness) in your brain, as well as reduces cortisol levels (the stress hormone). These changes have been linked to improved mood, better sleep quality, lower anxiety levels, and reduced depression symptoms."

  • Exercise boosts confidence and self-esteem by making us feel strong physically so we can be strong mentally too! And this leads me to my next point...



Having low energy levels can make you feel like you want to give up, but being resilient will help your mental health and well-being.

The most important thing to remember is that you can't give up. It's easy to get down on yourself and feel like you're not doing enough, but this is when resilience comes in. You need to stay positive about your progress and what you have already done, even if it doesn't seem like it at first.

Resilience means being able to bounce back from setbacks, so when something goes wrong or you have a bad day, don't let that stop you from continuing with your goals! Don't beat yourself up for making mistakes or failing at something--remember that everyone fails sometimes!

Staying positive, mentally healthy, and physically active is key to achieving success

If you want to achieve success in 2023, it's important that you stay positive, mentally healthy, and physically active.

This might sound like a lot of work but it's actually easier than you think! Here are some tips on how to do so:

  • Stay positive by surrounding yourself with people who are like-minded and supportive. You can also try going on social media platforms that allow for positivity such as Instagram or Twitter (and make sure your feed is filled with inspirational posts).

  • Stay mentally healthy by reading self-help books such as “Getting Unstuck: How To Overcome Fear And Make Big Moves In Your Career And Life” by Liz Wiseman or “The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F***” by Mark Manson. These sorts of resources will help remind you why life is worth living! You can also get started on our very own blog post series where we explore various topics from an introspective perspective (we've written about topics like anxiety and depression). We're currently working on a new one about finding purpose in life—so keep checking back for updates!

  • Stay physically active through activities like hiking, cycling, or any other physical activity that gets your heart pumping! Again this may seem like too much work but if done consistently over time then the results will show themselves when reflected upon later down the road (like next year).

Conclusion

When it is all said and done and you are facing your mortality, leading an active lifestyle can lead to a better quality of life. Being active is about taking control of your life and making sure that you are living with purpose. Whether it’s getting enough sleep or exercising on a regular basis, these tips will help start you off on your journey to becoming healthier and happier!
