As entrepreneurs, we're busy. Our time is valuable, but our health, fitness, and well-being are essential. They should be a priority. If your health suffers, so will your business.
Integrating your well-being practices into your daily lifestyle and habits requires creativity, but most importantly, a commitment to make your well-being a priority.
Here are some proven time-saving hacks that will make incorporating your healthy habits into your day fun and a breeze.
1. Make your days smoother with nutrition-packed smoothies
Save time and pack your breakfast or snacks with nutrition with a smoothie. So easy to prepare, you can have breakfast or snack done in a couple of minutes.
I start my day with what I consider to be one of the best-tasting, protein-packed, plant-based smoothie mixes on the market. I whip it up in a flash in my Ninja blender for a delicious breakfast smoothie that packs 39 grams of protein at only 270 calories.
Here's the super quick recipe:
1 scoop Vega Protein & Greens 20 grams of plant-based protein (130 calories)
1 cup of unsweetened soy milk for another 7 grams (80 calories)
1/2 cup of plain nonfat Greek yogurt for another 12 grams and about 60 calories
Add ice.
Done! That's 39 grams of protein for about 270 calories.
A protein and nutrition-rich smoothie that you make in seconds, can take with you and will keep you full for hours.
2. Sneak in your workout to your workday
Start by swapping out your regular desk and replacing it with a stand-up desk. Then, add an under-desk treadmill! Boom!
Below is the top-rated standup desk I have in my office. I love that it is motorized, making going from sit-down to stand-up with the touch of a button. I've had it for a couple of years and love it. I haven't had any issues with my model, but there are tons of options to choose from.
Be sure to measure the width of your desk as well as the area in which you will put the treadmill. If you have toddlers or small kids in the house, however, maybe hold off on the treadmill and try ankle weights or a balance board instead.
3. Get a massage at your desk
I used to have a massage membership but it was so hard to get an appointment when I needed that I decided to cancel the membership, do walk-ins for in-person massages, and get my own massage equipment at home.
After trying several pieces of equipment, I finally settled on this top-rated Shiatsu neck and back massager.
This thing is a game-changer. I was really surprised at how good the massage was and even found that it was better at releasing my stress knots than an in-person massage. This is the one that I purchased.
If you sit at your desk, I also recommend a Shiatsu massage chair pad. I stand up at my desk so I haven't invested in the chair pad, but I tried one at a friend's house, and wow. If I sat down at my desk, I would absolutely add this to my self-care accessories.
While incorporating self-care into your day may seem challenging at first, these easy-to-implement hacks will have you easily prioritizing your well-being with the click of a button.
