Yes, it is not a New Year to make yet another resolution (which, to be honest, we barely ever keep). So maybe it is a good time to set a goal and make each day of your life healthier and happier?

“Planning one perfect, healthy day will help you see what changes you need to make in order to bring better nutrition, more activity and peace of mind into your life on a regular basis.”- says Mark Stafford, M.D., a physician at the Kirklin Clinic at the University of Alabama-Birmingham.

This 10 steps schedule might looks very different from your typical day, so engage in some advance planning. Buy the food, schedule the time you need and focus on accomplishing each of these easy – and enriching – tasks. You’ll feel better for it and, we hope, want to incorporate most of these ideas into every day.

1. 1. Plan to be healthy
2. 2. Ditch your alarm clock
3. 3. Don’t overdo your morning workout
4. 4. Start your day on a positive note
5. 5. Don’t eat at your desk
6. 6. Get more active, more often
7. 7. Listen to music

One of the old adages says:  Where the mind goes, the body will follows. Taking care of yourself and emotional connections are equally important to your health.
