1. Working out
I believe that working out and being healthy go hand in hand. I try to be active for at least 30 minutes a day, even if it’s just a 30-minute walk. Staying active is not only important for your physical well being but also your mental health.
2. Eating right
Let’s be honest, I think about food all the time! I’m Greek! It’s part of my culture. I will speak to my mom at 9am and she asks me what I am cooking for dinner, haha. I love eating and sometimes I indulge in food that isn’t necessarily healthy for me (aka In-n-Out & Ice Cream), I try to abide by the 80/20 rule where I eat healthy 80% of the time. I also started incorporating juices and kombucha into my lifestyle. My favorite brand is Evolution Fresh! I like juices because they are refreshing and help me get my fruit and veggie intake. Kombucha is rich in antioxidants and probiotics and can kill harmful bacteria.

3. Involving my Friends
When it comes to being healthy I think it’s so important to surround yourself with people that want to support your healthy lifestyle. I try to involve my friends by asking them to join me for workout classes or hikes or ask them to go out for a healthy lunch instead of a night on the town. Making these simple choices will help you maintain a healthy lifestyle while keeping yourself and other’s motivated.
4. Preparing myself for travel
I am very fortunate that I get to travel quite often, and while I am so thankful for all of my experiences, traveling can definitely take a toll on a healthy lifestyle…
…unless you are prepared!
I bring workout bands with me when I am on the road so if I can’t make it to a gym or a class, I can at least workout in my hotel room. I also plan ahead and look for healthy restaurants where I will be vacationing! In addition, I make sure to pack healthy snacks like juices or my favorite protein bars so I have options in a pinch and don’t resort to fast food.
5. Follow motivating accounts on social media
Social media can be a very negative space or positive space depending on who you follow. I love to follow accounts that inspire me! Specifically when it comes to health and wellness, I look for female accounts that a) inspire me to eat healthier, b) inspire me to workout more often, or c) exude confidence and positive energy!
If you are looking for some accounts to follow, I recommed:
Melisfit — Melissa is a friend of mine and such an inspiration! She is yoga obsessed and shares so many yoga and posture tips and is just an overall ray of sunshie.
MeowMix — Amanda is a “nutritonal guru” and shares tips on healthy eating and so much nutritional information. Her account is so educational and always makes me think twice about what I am putting in my body!
RaeannLangas — Raeann is another friend of mine. She is a body positive blogger and a curve model and she always exudes confidence and positivity.
Hope this post inspired some healthy living!! Let me know your tips for living a healthy lifestyle!!
