What gives you that inner light, that floating-on-air sensation, that no-one’s-gonna-stop-me feeling? It doesn’t have to be major—small stuff can do it nicely: Ending the day with fresh fruit for dessert? Getting a “Whoa, you look good!” from a co-worker? Walking an extra three blocks at lunch? All great examples of glowments!
But if it’s been so long you can’t remember when you were proud of yourself, have a seat, and get ready to glow. Think about your day - what were the moments that made a difference in how you good you felt, what actions did you take to embrace a healthy and happy life, did anything happen that reassured you that you’re moving toward your goals?
Try these tips to increase your daily glowments!
-
Eat nutrient-dense foods that are chock full of vitamins and minerals to help you feel good—body and mind. After all, it feels good to know you’re doing right by your body. (It’s safe to say none of us feels good on a non-stop regimen of pop and fries.)
-
Move however you can, whenever you can, whatever way you like. Along with the “I did it” thrill, exercise benefits you in so many ways and it really can help you glow: It increases circulation, which is good for your skin and it can de-stress you, so you look more relaxed and refreshed.
