Small Details Make a Huge Difference- Change Your Lifestyle



Humans are capable of achieving anything they put their mind to. You may think this might not be true, yet this statement is scientifically proven. According to Alia Crum, from Stanford's Mind and Body lab, our mindset influences our health and actions. Mindset can be created by changing our everyday habits. If you are looking to make some positive changes in life, you are at the right place. As we call it in this article, minor alterations to our habits can lead to astonishing changes in life.

Be mindful


In our busy days, we need to be reminded to slow down and be mindful of our surroundings. As much as a phone is a vital thing in our lives, we tend to lose ourselves in the world of screens. We are informed about things around the world through social media, yet we forget to spend some time with ourselves. Being mindful helps us stay in the present, which is important to avoid dwelling on the past and the future. This is an effective way to stay focused and live our lives rather than just thinking or planning. Overthinkers! I am talking to you.


Be kind to yourselves


Have you ever been mean to yourself? I am sure your inner voice always speaks to you. What is the tone of that voice? We tend to criticise ourselves too much for little to huge mistakes we make in our lives. It is time to unlearn that habit and always be kind to ourselves. As a start, we can start saying positive affirmations to ourselves. The affirmations could be anything you want in life. Repeating those positive words will constantly help to change our mindset to view life in an optimistic perspective. 


Move your body


As cliche as it sounds, exercise will improve the quality of life and create a positive impact on our lives. It is a well-known fact that exercising or even a 30-minute walk per day can improve our mood. People who have busy schedules can try to add some type of physical activity to their routine for their overall health. At the same time, having a disciplined routine helps to create a strong mindset. It will enhance the ability to complete anything they put their mind to. Luckily, physical activities are not limited to exercise and cardio. Yoga, Pilates, and Zumba classes are some other ways where you can keep your mind and body active.




Prioritising your sleep


It is essential to get deep sleep at night to function properly throughout the day.  It has become a norm to scroll on our phones at night, which can cause us to lose track of time. However, getting a proper sleep will also allow a person to be more energetic, less stressed and even improve one’s brain function. Hence, sleep is one of the factors which helps to improve the quality of life. If you're looking to establish a better sleep routine, start by going to bed at the same time every night. 


A healthy lifestyle helps one to live their life to the fullest. It is attainable with consistency and discipline in our routines. We can start with small changes to get huge rewards. Hence, small details do make a huge difference in life.

Let me brainwash you into watching sitcoms

  “I declare bankcruptcyyyy”  If you read that in Michael Scott's voice, then you are one of us, a sitcom lover. I started watching Sitcoms when I was in University. A Friends scene popped up on my YouTube recommendations. Ironically, I watched the finale first. But it was so funny and oddly comforting that I went back and binged all the seasons. Since then, I’ve fallen deep into the sitcom rabbit holes.  There is something about watching sitcoms which creates a safe and calm feeling. It will give you an instant feeling like you are included in something warm and pleasant. I believe this is the reason for people to rewatch the same sitcoms many times. Let me give you a few more reasons why you should start watching sitcoms. They are relatable I believe everyone has the urge to feel included, and sitcoms are best at doing it. Remember when Monica asked, “Do you have a plan?” and Phoebe responded with, “I don’t even have a pla ...”? It was hilarious and validating. It remin...

Tengah healing ke tu? A needed escape to Gunung Jerai

Sometimes all we need is a different perspective.  We often get caught up in routines and forget why we push ourselves so hard. At the core, it’s to live the life we dream of. And that takes effort, discipline, and sometimes, a bit of healing. I recently took a long-planned, but impromptu trip to Jerai Hill (Gunung Jerai), which allowed me to relax and stay mindful in the present moment.  To be very honest, I just wanted to escape from the scorching hot weather recently. Malaysia is filled with famous hill stations, and Gunung Jerai is an underrated one. Let me just walk you through everything I loved about Gunung Jerai.  Buckle up! (No, really) Like any hill destination, you need to drive through the beautiful greenery, which makes you think about what else is beautiful you haven't witnessed yet in life. The roads are well-maintained, and there are clear horn signs along the way. It’s a drive that asks you to be both careful and present, watching the road while soaking i...
