7 Body Positive Habits To Embrace This Fall
Your mental health is just as important as your physical health!
You need to ensure that you look after your mental state just as much as the rest of you. We all go through highs and lows during our life. Maintaining a strong mindset is all about doing small, simple things to keep you feeling positive.
Here are seven healthy habits to start:
1. Start meditating
Have you considered meditating? If you feel as though you’re always too busy to relax, this could be the way to go. Taking some time to sit alone and get some headspace could be a fantastic way to unwind. Should you find that you can’t meditate by yourself, there are loads of tools that you can use. For example, you could find some apps that help you to learn how to meditate and switch off. Give it a go!
2. Have some ‘you time’
Everybody needs some time alone now and then. You might feel obliged to help your family and friends when they need you. However, don’t overlook the fact that you also need to have some space from time to time. When you always give yourself (and your time) to other people, it ends up taking a toll on you. You will feel depleted, drained, and tired. Don’t let that happen. Set some time aside for yourself.
3. Embrace your body
Do you love your body? No matter what your shape or size is, the answer should be a giant yes. We all need to learn to embrace our figures and love every single inch of ourselves. When you get hung up on your flaws and the things you think need improving, it can hurt you in more ways than you know. That has to stop. Take the time to start appreciating your body and loving it each day.

4. Keep a journal
Writing can be a truly cathartic exercise. When you’re feeling stressed out or burned out, one of the best things you can do for yourself is get a pen and start writing down your thoughts. This habit can help you to learn to be more honest with yourself. You might discover that there are things that have been getting to you without you realizing it. Why not grab an old sketchbook and give it a go today?
5. Start mindful eating
Eating should be a supreme pleasure. When you sit down for a meal, don’t make the mistake of simply rushing through it and moving on. You might be busy, but you should always take the time to enjoy the food that you eat and make the most of it. If you fail to do so, you will never have a positive relationship with your diet. Make your food look beautiful on the plate before you dig in and enjoy the act of eating it. You never know, it might just be the best thing that you ever do.
6. Get active outdoors
Sure, it might be fall but that doesn’t mean that you should stay inside every single evening. Instead, take the time to get out and get active. You might want to go for a run or take a walk in the park. Being physically active means that you will boost your mental well-being as well as your fitness levels. Make this habit a core part of your life and you will soon start to reap the rewards of your hard work.
7. Listen to positive podcasts
Looking for a way to de-stress and chill out? You might just have found it. Listening to engaging and exciting podcasts could be the way to go. There are many out there that you might want to try.
If you’re at all interested in the body positivity movement, you might find that it’s helpful to listen to some podcasts on this subject matter. For example, you could try listening to Call Your Girlfriend or Stuff Your Mom Never Told You. Start looking today and see what you can find out there.
Are you going to try some of these mentally healthy habits? You need to take care of yourself, especially during the colder and darker months of the year. Starting to take active steps toward this goal is the only way to ensure that you will lead a happy and healthy life.
