#11 Find Time for Connection
Connection is important, now more than ever. Not only is it the key to health, longevity, and happiness, but connection is imperative for our mental health, too. In addition to strengthening our relationships, connections with friends, family, or community can provide support during times of stress and simply make us feel like we’re not alone.
Craving more connection? Join our FitOn community, volunteer, join a club, or reach out to family or friends. We’re all in this together — it’s more than ok to ask for support! And if you’re just not feeling like yourself, speak with a therapist or doctor.
#12 Set Healthy Boundaries
Before you can fill anyone else’s cup, you have to fill your own. And, sometimes investing in yourself and your wellbeing means learning how to say no. So, before you take on another job commitment, accept an invitation to a night out, or agree to lend a helping hand, check-in with yourself. Do you have the time and the energy? Or, more importantly, do you want to say yes?
Adopting healthy habits can be as simple as adopting healthy boundaries. Sometimes saying no to others is saying yes to yourself.
