Sometimes it’s a good idea to put your cell phone and other electronics down, even for a short while. There are a few reasons for this.  One point goes pack to proper posture because if a person is laying down, standing, or sitting, it’s all about the posture.  We know that the darker a room the better it is for your sleep and a cell phone gives off light that can be disruptive.  Putting your cell phone down also lets you live in the moment.  It might be challenging to do, but once you accept that people do not have to document every moment, it allows us to truly enjoy what is happening.

Exercise has many benefits including lubricating the joints. If muscles are not used over time they will wear out. Also, exercise releases endorphins, the feel-good hormones that help you feel good and improves metabolic function. When you exercise, your heart beats faster and you pump more blood which moves throughout your system, helping to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the cells while stimulating your body to flush out toxins.

It can be difficult to make changes in our lives, even small ones. But once you start to experience more energetic days, better nights’ sleep, and overall improved wellbeing, the effort needed to make these small changes will seem well worth it.
