Hi everyone
I don't know about you guys, but I love reading quotes by people I admire and reading about how they led their lives. I love little "rules" because it helps me keep my standards high and value myself as how I am now and how I want to be.
Please feel free to share your own "rules to live by" and how that's working for you! I'm not advocating strict diet rules but rather general aspirations to live a better life. They're not meant to resonate with everyone but they've helped me structure myself a lot and I hope they can help someone else!
Here goes!
1. Be kind: to others and yourself.
Diet
2. Water and veggies are your friends
3. Herbal tea over caffeine
4. Sugar only pretends that its nice to you. Avoid it when you can and have as little interaction with it as possible. It's also great at camouflaging itself, beware!
5. Carbs look better when they're not wearing white
6. Smaller bites are classier and make less of a mess
7. Don't treat eating alone differently from eating with others.
8. Food is a great way to celebrate. Celebrate your body first, then the occasion.
9. Food is meant to be eaten sitting down. If you need a snack, sit down and enjoy it! It's not chic to eat on the go.
10. Food is not the enemy but rather an army that fights for your health. Pick your soldiers wisely!
Lifestyle
11. Smile
12. Posture changes everything about how you look
13. Only buy clothes that fit you and make you feel amazing
14. Comfort is key but don't let it compromise your style!
15. Perfume and mascara (in moderation) make a huge difference
16. Take care of your skin: sunscreen and moisturiser for face and body!
17. Fewer, better things
18. Count your blessings
19. Take your time
20. Live the healthiest life you can enjoy
