How to change your routine for a more fulfilling life

Do you feel exhausted or depressed by your routine? Good news! Spring is just around the corner, the perfect time to reassess your lifestyle.

Try these tips to help you start feeling better.

• Reduce your screen time. Social media, video games and other screen-based activities can eat up your precious time. Be mindful of this and set specific time limits, including a clear start and end time.

• Move more. Even 15 minutes of physical activity a day, such as walking or dancing, can significantly improve your mood and energy levels.

• Get better sleep. Create a soothing nighttime ritual. Shut down your screen devices at least an hour before bed. Instead, read a book, do some knitting or take a bath to promote restful sleep.

• Strengthen your relationships. Spend time with people who make you feel good. Engaging with supportive friends and family can help reduce stress and boost your morale. Join a group activity or check in with your loved ones.

• Get plenty of fresh air. Rejuvenate your body and mind by reconnecting with nature. Try going for a walk or bike ride in the woods or a nearby park a few times a week.

Changing your routine doesn’t happen overnight. Adopt new healthy habits gradually and celebrate each small victory along the way.
