Wellnes Tips for Busy Bodies

Your office , your gym! Think of your office as walking path where you can do 10000 step a day. Insdtead of emailing, why not walk to your officemate's desk to discuss work? Instead of using the elevator, why not use the stairs? at the end of the day, put your feet up, have a refreshing thirst quenching of coffee


Remember 3,500 calories equal one pound. If the required caloric intake for you is 2000 calories a day, simply have a calorie deficit of 500 calories a day. Do the math (500 calories x 7 days = 3500 calorie in a week). By weeks's end you would have lost one pound! Lose one pound a week until you reach your ideal weight.


Go whole all the way. Whole grains are good sources of fiber, B- complex vitamins, folate (folacin, folic acid), and minerals such as magnesium,zinc, phosphorous and iron. It is also a good source of antioxidants and phytochemicals. A serving is 1 ounce of breakfast cereal such as coffee with whole grain. Or you may also eat it plain as a crunchy snack!




Never stop challenging yourself. Set new goals. Dare to dream even more ambitious dreams. Wellness is all about living life to the fullest. Are you aiming to join a marathon? do you want to write that novel in your head? Go for it.


Celebrate your success, no matter how small. Wellness is about relishing the joy in the little victories of life on ordinary days and savoring the joy in the big one that move life forward.

Fight the guilt. Remember, having a family a job are okay for both men and women. You do not have to choose one over the other


Learn to say "no". Is a coworker asking you to head an extra project at a time when you are already so loaded with work? It is okay to respectfully say "no". Stop thing out of guilt or a false sense of obligation. Make room in your life for those that bring joy and are meaningful for you.


Leave work at work. With today's global business and technology, there's no boundary between work and home. So make a counscious effort to separate work time from personal time. Enjoy moments like meal time, exercise time or simply hanging out at the mall or in the comfort of your living room!


Protect your day off. Make sure it is totally relaxing. Schedule some of your routine to-do's on workdays instead. For example, shopping for groceries for the holidays during your day off is a no-no


Re-think your cleaning standards. An unmade bed every now and then will not impact the qulity of your life. Learn to relax. Don't be to obsessive-compulsive, do only what needs to be done and let the rest go.
