Trudging the road to financial freedom is not an overnight trip. Hours upon hours of hard work go into creating the optimal occupation of being your own boss. With your eyes on the prize, the propensity to forget to put first things first occurs much easier.
Remember to take care of your health and well being even while you take charge of your life. Here’s a few tips for staying healthy as you clock in your hours.
Get Up and Move. We know you’re working hard behind your computer screen, but you’re also staying still. Sedentary lifestyles can lead to joint problems and a slower metabolism. Set times during the day to take breaks and walk around. Go outside, stretch, and get some Vitamin D. Not only will you burn a few extra calories, but you will give your joints and muscles relief, as well.
Pack Your Lunch. Save money and calories! The pennies and pounds add up when you make a habit of choosing the fast choice over the wise choice. Show up to work prepared and avoid having to order in or eat out. Pack a lunch consisting of healthy, nutrient rich foods. Try preparing all of your lunches at the start of the week so you can grab your meals and go in the morning!
Pack your bag. Squeeze in some exercise before or after you work! Pack your work clothes and hit the gym before work or pack your athletic gear and hit the gym after work! Taking your gear with you will be a physical reminder that you made a commitment at the start of the day!
Leave your cash at home. Stressed with a big project? Chocolate would help. That gigantic candy bar in the vending machine would really hit the spot… STOP. Your mind is playing tricks on you. It might be yummy but you will not enjoy that sugar crash later. Leave your cash at home so that you never concede to the songs of the vending machine even in your weakest moments!
Contribute. Offices are breeding grounds for the yummiest What-NOT-to-Eat(EVER) foods. Birthdays, anniversaries, or any other cause for celebration will, without doubt, be graced with everyone’s favorite and best recipes. The dishes are delicious and we appreciate the effort, but indulgence has a limit. Avoid these situations and help your fellows out by bringing in healthy crowd pleasers like veggies or guacamole.
We hope these tips help you on your journey! Be physically, emotionally, and financially free all at once when you reach your final destination!
