5 Ways To Instantly Upgrade Your Quality of Life

Getting your 8 to 9 hours of sleep

Habits to Improve Your SleepBe consistent. Go to bed at the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning, including on the weekends. Make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark, relaxing, and at a comfortable temperature. Remove electronic devices such as TVs, computers, and phones from the bedroom.

Limit Screen Time

 ⁠Too much screen time⁠ can impact obesity, body image, quality of sleep, personal relationships, and social skills. It has also been shown to impact school performance. Managing your screen time: turning off your phone at least an hour before bed, watching less television, decreasing your work in front of a computer screen, etc. will help make you a more efficient worker, create more free time, and improve your quality of life

Exercise

 There is no healthier or greater way to clear your mind, temper anxiety and relieve stress ⁠than exercise⁠. Studies show it helps improve mood, and state of mind, assists focus, and improves quality of sleep.

Carving out time to exercise will increase your energy throughout the day, encourage you to eat healthier, and help build a routine. Exercise increases work productivity and improves your mood when you are with family and friends. As physically demanding as exercise can be at the time, it only reaps benefits.

As much as you can, try to travel any chance you get. It doesn’t even have to be far from home. Traveling can show you so many beautiful places you would never otherwise have known existed. It opens you up to different experiences, different people, delicious food, and beautiful sights.

Focusing on right now

Living in the present moment is a key part of mental wellness. It means letting go of the past and not waiting for the future. Here are some tips for focusing on the present moment:

• Eliminate distractions: Turn off your phone, close unnecessary tabs, and find a quiet place to work.
• Take regular breaks: Use your breaks to clear your mind and refocus on the present moment.
• Reduce multitasking: Focus on one task at a time.
• Practice mindfulness: Try meditation practices, deep breathing exercises, or mindfulness meditation.
• Get enough sleep: Getting enough sleep each night can help you stay mentally focused.
• Limit your social media use: Limit the time you spend on social media.
• Focus on your breathing: When you're trying to focus, you might need to recenter yourself by focusing on your breathing.
• Be grateful for what you have now: Be open and see what happens.
• Practice self-care: Embrace practical self-care, nourish your body, and set clear boundaries
