The past year has left many of us in a funk after dealing with a global pandemic. We all just want to move on and start feeling our best in 2021. That means finding ways to make yourself feel like your best self.
Start from the inside (and deal with what’s going on inside of you) and work your way out (and work on your outward appearance). Here’s how you can start feeling your best in 2021 from the inside out.
1. Start Meditating
Meditation has been shown to have tons of health benefits, which is why you should consider it if 2020 hasn’t been kind to you. Start meditating and make it a daily practice for the most benefits. Meditation can reduce stress, help you control anxiety, promote emotional health, enhance self-awareness, and increase your attention span. It can also decrease blood pressure, reduce age-related memory loss, help you fight addictions, control pain, and help you sleep better.
2. Revamp Your Wardrobe
It’s spring, ladies. And that means it’s time to add a few new pieces to your wardrobe that make you feel like your authentic, fabulous self. Get yourself clothes that make you feel good when you wear them. Buy things that give you the confidence you need to slay the day. And don’t forget about lingerie.
Get some that’ll help you look as youthful and beautiful as you feel. From bra and panty sets to rompers, online stores like 3Wishes offer tons of options, so start browsing for clothes and sexy lingerie that make you feel like your best self.
3. Eat Foods That Make You Feel Good
If you truly want to feel your best in 2021, you need to nourish your body with foods that make it (and you) feel good.
That means avoiding junk food and finding foods with mood-boosting benefits that can make you happier and healthier. Some foods you can incorporate into your diet to make you feel good include:
- Black beans
- Coconut
- Chamomile tea
- Beets
- Dark chocolate
- Mussels
- Seaweed
- Blueberry juice
- Swiss chard
- Pumpkin seeds
- Eggs
- Asparagus
- Whole grain bread
- Red peppers
- Blue potatoes
- Halibut
- Red wine
Try including some of these foods into your diet and see if you notice a change in how much energy you have.
4. Exercise
Exercising has just as many benefits as meditation and should be done regularly to take advantage of those benefits, which include:
- Helps control weight
- Gives you a boost of energy
- Improves your sex life
- Helps improve your mood
- Promotes better sleep
- Helps fight health conditions and diseases
Start exercising a few times a week with something simple like walking around the block or getting on the treadmill for 30 minutes.
5. Practice Self-Care
Self-care is one of the most loving things you can do for yourself. Practicing self-care on a regular basis can help reduce stress and make you feel your best. You can practice self-care by doing the things that make you happy and relaxed. For example, you could try the following:
- Read a chapter of a book
- Give yourself a mani-pedi
- Buy yourself fresh flowers
- Take a bubble bath
- Give yourself a facial
- Take a nap
- Watch funny videos on YouTube
Essentially, do whatever it is that puts a smile on your face and warmth in your heart.
Feel Your Best to Be Your Best
Getting to a place of feeling your best is completely doable, as long as you follow the above tips. From eating right and meditating to revamping your wardrobe and exercising, there are plenty of ways to help you feel your best in 2021.
