As we wave goodbye to 2023 and give a big, enthusiastic hello to 2024, it's time to gear up to be the absolute best versions of ourselves. But, hey, how do we ensure we stick to those resolutions this time around?
We all know the classic story – you declare, "I'll hit the gym every day!" only to realize your gym subscription is gathering dust by mid-January. So, let's switch things up this year and make our resolutions not just doable but downright enjoyable!
This year, we're all about ramping up the health factor with seven super-easy changes that you can effortlessly keep up throughout the entire year. Forget about drastic transformations; we're talking about little tweaks that fit seamlessly into your daily routine, making them as natural as your morning coffee.
Instead of setting ourselves up for potential letdowns, let's focus on these bite-sized habits that will genuinely impact our well-being. They're not about turning your life upside down; they're about sprinkling a little extra healthiness into your day-to-day, making it as easy as tying your shoelaces.
So, in 2024, let's commit to making these seven effort-free habits part of our everyday rhythm. Get ready for a year full of good vibes, well-being, and a whole lot of fun on the road to a healthier, happier you!
Step one: Touch base with yourself
No for real, let's shift our focus to what's constantly in contact with your skin, 24/7 – your clothing. The skin, our body's largest organ, deserves to be surrounded by items that are both healthy and low in toxins to prevent the absorption of harmful substances.
However, the challenge lies in the fact that it's often more convenient and budget-friendly to opt for clothing from fast fashion brands, which frequently use synthetic fibres. Unfortunately, these materials release microplastics and toxins that can be absorbed by our bodies through the skin.
One area where we can make a significant change this year is by steering clear of toxic and plastic-based period products. Pads and tampons, while often boasting a pristine white colour and a fresh scent, are treated with chemicals that can lead to severe infections, hormonal imbalances, and the release of microplastics into the body.
It's time to say a resounding NO to toxic periods. Let's kick off the year by embracing plastic-free alternatives like menstrual cups or a set of period panties.
Speaking of period panties, be sure to choose ones that are silver-free, as some mainstream brands use silver to mask odours. Find out more on this article.
A stellar example is Ruby Cup's period panties, offering both comfort and a commitment to a toxin-free period experience.
Step 2: Don’t be afraid of intimacy
In line with the importance of what touches our skin 24/7, it's vital to recognize that every product entering our bodies matters. Latex-based condoms and lubes, beyond causing potential irritation and allergic reactions, also pose a similar threat of microplastics as seen in certain period products.
To align with a healthier and hormone-free lifestyle, consider making the switch to all-natural lubes and condoms. This conscious choice not only supports a vegan and toxin-free approach but also contributes to a more sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle.
Step 3: Don’t forget your supplements
Continuing our journey into conscious living, having addressed the importance of sustainable and toxic-free choices for intimate care, let's now shift our focus to what enters your body through your diet.
Maintaining a balanced diet is a cornerstone of healthy living, yet meeting all your nutritional needs can be challenging. This is where the right supplements come into play, providing a convenient solution to bridge the nutrient gap. Enter magnesium – a crucial mineral that plays a key role in numerous bodily functions.
Did you know that magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body? From energy production to muscle function and even supporting a healthy immune system, magnesium is a powerhouse nutrient. Despite its importance, studies suggest that a significant portion of the population may not be meeting their recommended daily intake of magnesium through diet alone.
So, why not give your body the boost it needs? Incorporating magnesium supplements into your routine can be a simple yet effective way to ensure you're supporting your overall well-being. 
Step 4: Start a new podcast
Sustaining high levels of motivation over the course of a year can be an immense challenge. In fact, maintaining it for even a month is no small feat. However, there's a simple yet powerful switch you can make to infuse positivity and inspiration into your daily routine: start a podcast that serves as a constant source of motivation and encouragement.
Picture this – a podcast companion that keeps you company during your work hours, accompanies you as you tackle household chores, or energizes your daily stroll. It's a minimal shift that can yield significant results in keeping your spirits lifted and your goals in focus.
One of our top podcast recommendations is "Listen To Les," where Les focuses on nurturing both the body and mind. Delving into topics ranging from adopting a low-tox and hormone-free lifestyle to exploring holistic well-being, this podcast is a treasure trove of motivation for your journey to a healthier, more balanced life.
Another stellar podcast to add to your playlist is "Eat Love Move" by Le Nise Brothers. Regularly featuring insightful guests, Le Nise dives into compelling stories that revolve around the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle. From nutrition tips to personal anecdotes, each episode offers valuable insights to keep you inspired on your wellness journey.
So, whether you're at work, doing chores, or enjoying your daily walk, let these podcasts become your go-to source for motivation and a reminder that your goals are within reach. Tune in, be inspired, and make 2024 the year you elevate your well-being to new heights!
Step 5: Social Media Cleanse
Consider this: what you absorb daily shapes your mindset. This month, take a moment to curate the content you expose yourself to by revisiting the influencers and pages you follow. It's a natural evolution – over our decade-long Instagram journey, interests and goals shift. So, let's bid farewell to the influencers who may have once resonated but no longer align with your current aspirations.
Shift your focus towards content that not only aligns with your goals but also actively nurtures your well-being. It's time to create a digital space that uplifts you rather than drags you down, showcasing a lifestyle that authentically reflects who you are at this moment and in the immediate future.
Redirect your attention to pages like Ruby Cup, where valuable insights about periods are shared regularly. Engage with influencers like Gittemary, who offer practical tips on living a low-waste and sustainable life, contributing to a healthier lifestyle.
By consciously curating your digital environment, you are actively choosing content that adds value to your life, aligns with your current journey, and propels you towards a more fulfilling and authentic future. Let the content you consume be a source of inspiration and empowerment as you navigate the exciting path ahead.
Step 6: No plastic in the kitchen
One impactful yet simple swap is in your kitchen tools.
While plastic and silicone tools may seem convenient for their ease of cleaning, they can potentially introduce toxins into your food. Consider making the switch to kitchen tools crafted from wood and stainless steel. Beyond their durability – these utensils can last a lifetime – they offer a healthier alternative for both you and your culinary creations.
By choosing wood and stainless steel over plastic and silicone, you not only contribute to the longevity of your kitchen tools but also prioritize a healthier cooking environment. It's a small adjustment that can resonate with your well-being in the long run, aligning with the principle that what you use in the kitchen plays a crucial role in your overall health.
Step 7: Stay Hydrated
Even if you're not feeling thirsty, it's crucial to stay hydrated by consistently drinking water. The importance of hydration has been reiterated countless times, and it stands as the single most beneficial practice for your overall health. To make tracking your water intake more enjoyable and sustainable, consider investing in a stylish reusable water bottle. Not only will it serve as a visual reminder to stay hydrated, but it also aligns with eco-friendly practices, contributing to a healthier lifestyle for both you and the planet. So, sip smart and stay refreshed with your trusty reusable companion!
