You get the most out of life when you look and feel like a winner. Simple adjustments can help you perform at your peak and look like a million bucks.

 

Sharpen Your Mind

It's never been easier to educate yourself on the cheap or for free. According to one study, self-made millionaires read two or more books every month. Find a book-of-the-month club or another subscription service that recommends inspiring titles. If you don't want to pay for a service, there's always your local library. Give yourself extra motivation to keep up with your reading by joining a book club focused on self-improvement and self-care.

 

Another way to improve your mental skills is to pick up a new hobby. Go on YouTube for free lessons on numerous topics. For example, try learning to play an instrument. Or maybe you can pick up tips on gardening or woodworking. Test out a new skill and have fun with it.

 

Upgrade Your Diet and Exercise Program

The axiom "garbage in, garbage out" still holds. Plan your following grocery list for clean eating. Every good diet starts with getting enough water. If you don't care much for plain water, add flavor using a fruit infuser. Replace soda with sparkling waters that come in many tasty flavors.

 

Base your meals around leafy greens and whole grains. If you're a meat-eater, limit red meat to an occasional palm-sized portion and eat more white meats, like poultry. Fish can be a healthy option since it is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Just stick to baking and air frying over oil frying.

 

With exercise regimens, a complete overhaul is daunting and may set you up for failure. Many health professionals recommend just 30 minutes a day of moderate exercise to get your daily needs. Find a partner for extra motivation to continue.

 

Schedule Quality Sleep

A good day starts the night before. Schedule sleep into a routine with a set bedtime. Recent studies indicate that human sleep cycles run in 90-minute increments. Decide when you need to wake up and count back five 90-minute increments for 7 1/2 hours of sleep, which is a sweet spot to wake up at peak alertness.

 

Disconnect From Time to Time

The wireless world keeps everyone constantly connected, making you theoretically accessible at all times. Working day and night adds stress, which burns you out and makes you less productive. Set blackout times on your messaging apps and email for guilt-free relaxation. Schedule regular "me time" in your routine to maintain stability.

 

Spice Up Your Wardrobe

Do you ever notice how you walk a little taller and feel a little cooler with a new item of clothing or accessory? New clothes can be a great confidence booster, and they can play an important role in making a solid first impression when you meet someone new. but impetuously exchanging an entire wardrobe can be a costly habit. Budget for new pieces monthly so you never get bored.
