Making changes is not that easy and done just in a day. It's gonna be hard but if you start it with the small steps and do it constantly, it's not gonna be that hard. Change your habit to be a healthy lifestyle is the best choice you'll made and you'll never regret it because it's that worth it. All you need to do right now is just do it! So, I will share to you guys what things what small steps that I made into a healthy lifestyle that I have right now. Let's get it!

1. Change Your Mind

Set the right mindset how you gonna start this. If you gonna start a healthy life but your mindset still think that being healthy is not important and it's not yout priority in life. Then, you'll never reach this goal. It never be. So, mindset is really important to start this healthy life tips. It's kinda first step you need to do.

2. Walk More

Without you know or understand, walk is becomes one of the easiest workout you can do on daily life and it's totally free. You needn't earn so much money for gym to be healthy, right? Walk is becomes the alternative that provided. Walk in the morning is my favorite. Also, I thought that walk in the morning is the best compare to the other time. I can inhale the fresh air and it makes me happy and ready to kick off my day. So, I recommend you to walk in the morning. But, as you know, walk can be done anytime, right? From now on start to think it's better to walk instead of ride any transportation. But, if the place too far for you to walk, you can ride a bus, a car or any other transportation. Start to make it as your habit.

3. Drink More Water

Water is really important for our life. Literally really important. Do you drink enough water in a day? Do the pee test! If it's as clear as water you're not lack of water or dehidration. Otherwise, if your pee is not as clear as water, it means that you need to drink more water in a day. Water is really important in our daily life for the sake of our health. Without enough water you will be dehidrated or even dying. Make it as a habit to drink more water than usual on your daily life. The normal amount of water amunition in a day is about 5-8 glass per day or 1-2 liters a day. The more you drink water in a day the better for your health, but don't drink too much or too less.

4. Eat Slower or Less

Eat mindfully gonna help you to digest the food better. People nowadays like to eat in front of their computer, laptop or any other electronic devices. It spends a lot of time approximately 20-30 minutes compare to when you eat mindfully which is need 5-10 minutes only. Eat mindfully means that you just eat without doing any other things or multi-tasking at the same time. Eat your meal mindfully gonna turns your meal into nutrition. Eat mindfully also helps your body to absorb the nutrition from your food even better.

5. Meditate

Do you ever try to meditate? If not, it's gonna be challenging when you try it for the first time. For me, 2 years ago, when I tried meditate for the first time it just feels like nothing. Nothing different and I don't felt something unique from doing meditation. But, I tried it again and over again. At the beginning I just try it for once a week until now I do it every single day every morning. To start meditate, all you need to do is do it again and over again until you find the real magic of doing meditation. Literally, meditation changes my whole life. It changed the way I think about life, problem, gratitude and any other things. It helps me to be mindful and calmer. My favorite meditation app are 'Calm' and 'Headspace'. I recommend it to you and go start to download the app then you'll be ready to meditate. The app will helps you how to meditate. It's gonna be easier than without app. You can download the apps for you iOS or your Google Play. I will linked it down below.

As you know, sleep for 8 hours in a day is kinda a standard that people usually use to measure your sleep quality by see how long you sleep that will impact to your health. Sleep is really important for our health. When you sleep late at night then when you wake up in the morning, your body don't want to cooperate with you because it gonna makes your body feel so tired, right?
