Ugh, I do like 4 out of 6 of these regularly. It’s so hard to get enough sleep as a blogger who also works full time. Great reminder though!
This is a great list. Having enough sleep is very important to help you function well the next day. Drinking lots of water is also very important.
I’ve been busy with my blog lately. I skip meals and gym 🙁 Feel so unhealthy.
This is true, once you start with the negativity, there’s no going up. It will continue until it affects your health, your relationships, your life. And only you can stop it.
Not getting enough sleep is an issue for me. I love my sleep, but I’ve been so busy lately! My next big issue is too much caffeine.
Great tips here. Unfortunately I have some of these habits which I refuse to let fo of – it’s as simple as that. For example, I love coffee. Have tried to give it up many times but it is my vice and I am sticking with it. 🙂 The rest, done or working on.
Sigh…I think most people know what they should be doing but yet so few are actually doing it. Thanks for the reminder
