3. Taking care of your finances
Budgeting: There's a plan I saw online about finance planning it explains the 50, 30, 20 rule. Basically 50% of your income should go towards necessities, 30% towards discretionary spending, and 20% towards savings.
Monitor your expenses: Always track your spending habits and avoid impulse buys, and think before you make a purchase.
Review and adjust: Regularly audit your finances.

5. Taking care of your style
Your style speaks volume about your identity and boundaries. Your appearance can convey a lot about your personality and values. Investing in your style and dressing intentionally can send subtle signals about who you are, what you stand for, and what you are willing to accept.
In other words, your appearance introduces you as a person even before you speak. Sometimes, it's not even about your style, but how you speak and how well you carry yourself.
Tips:
Wear clothes that make you feel confident.
Use your style to express your individuality.

ReplyDeleteIt's truly rewarding indeed.
DeleteEstoy de acuerdo en la importancia de incorporar cambios saludables en nuestros hábitos de vida, los beneficios que se obtienen a cambio son valiosos y una vez los normalizas, no cuesta nada hacerlos.
ReplyDeleteTrue, once healthy habits become a normal part of your routine, they really don't "cost" you anything, but the benefits they return are absolutely invaluable. It's all about making that initial investment in yourself.
DeleteBenita, this is such a wonderful post, so important and informative. I am 68, and the habits that I have developed over the last years has been good exercise, which for me is long walks in nature and healthy eating. I drink plenty of water as well.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful to hear! It sounds like you've found a fantastic rhythm with nature walks, healthy eating, and staying hydrated. Those are truly some of the best habits for overall well-being, and it's inspiring to hear how consistently you're prioritizing them.
DeleteI really struggle with eating healthy during the summer, I've been trying to get back on track. Thanks for these tips.

You're definitely not alone in that struggle! Summer can throw a wrench in healthy eating routines with all the tempting treats and social gatherings. It's great you're trying to get back on track.
DeleteTienes razón. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Alexander.
DeleteOh so very true! While I sometimes struggle with keeping the exercise going I know it is so good for me. I have a much easier time eating well nowadays; mostly because I can feel an immediate difference when I don't.
ReplyDeleteIt's totally normal to have ups and downs with exercise, but the important thing is that you know it's good for you and keep aiming to get it in.
DeleteExcellent tips.
ReplyDeleteThank you Hena.
DeleteI completely agree with all of these!

Thanks for stopping by Teresa.
DeleteThat's right. It's the little things that, when combined, improve the quality of life. Diet and exercise are important factors.
ReplyDeleteTruly important factors, thanks for stopping by.
Delete...I would change the 50, 30, 20 rule to 50% of your income should go towards necessities, 30% towards savings and 20% towards discretionary spending. It will pay off when you want to retire.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really interesting take on the 50/30/20 rule! Shifting more towards savings (30%) and a bit less on discretionary spending (20%) definitely sounds like a smart move for long-term financial health and retirement planning. It's all about finding what works best for your personal goals!
DeleteHello, Benita!
ReplyDeleteFirstly, thank you for visiting my blog :-)
I completely agree on your post: "we are what we eat", you're right. Our meals have to be well balanced. I think it would be good for our body to get protein mainly from vegetables and fishes 🐟 (not farmed fishes).
With regards to the common saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", obviously there isn't any evidence that if we did so, we wouldn't need a doctor 🙂🍎🍏💊💉 ... I don't like to eat red meat and processed food.
Interesting advice about capsule guardrobe, as it could be useful to build our personal style.
How we introduce ourself in terms of dressing is as important as how well we carry ourself.
Great post!
What a thoughtful comment! I completely agree with you on the "we are what we eat" philosophy and the importance of well-balanced meals. Focusing on protein from vegetables and wild-caught fish sounds like a fantastic approach for overall health.
DeleteAnd you're spot on about the "an apple a day" saying, it's a nice thought, but definitely not a substitute for medical care! It's great that you avoid red meat and processed foods too. I stay away from processed meat as well.
How we dress really does play a part in expressing our personal style and how we present ourselves.
Hola Benita. Bonito lugar para hacer ejercicio y deliciosa ensalada para recuperar fuerzas.
ReplyDeleteEn los tiempos que corren, controlar los gastos es fundamental, aunque no todos piensen de la misma forma, y mucho más a quienes la apariencia le importa un bledo. Es una pena.
Un abrazo.
...keeping expenses in check is definitely a smart move these days, even if not everyone sees eye-to-eye on the importance of appearance in that equation. It's all about what priorities align for each individual!
DeleteIt is great advice to exercise, eat healthy, and I'm working on updating and organizing my closet and clothes. I hope you have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wonderful Julie! Do have a great week too.
DeleteI do know eating better helps many areas, there are just so many bad things out there that can be tempting, but if we go right back to healthy eating I think there can be a little bit of balance. exercise keeps us going, if we stop moving we will totally stop living.
ReplyDeleteHealthy eating impacts so many areas of our well-being, and it's easy to be tempted by all the less-healthy options out there. But you're right, finding that balance and getting back on track is key
DeleteThese are good habits. Exercise and eating healthy are so important. Money too, and making sure you have bills paid but enough to treat yourself. Style is something I need to work on!
ReplyDeleteExercise and healthy eating are cornerstones of well-being, and getting your finances in order (bills paid, treats included!) brings such peace of mind. And hey, working on personal style can be a really fun journey whenever you're ready to dive in.
DeleteSo true that small habits can go a long way to transforming our lives provided we stick with them. I went from not exercising at all to slowly building up to exercising every day and it has done wonders for my health not to mention my energy levels.
ReplyDeleteThat's absolutely fantastic and so inspiring to hear! Keep up the amazing work!
DeleteTaking care of my diet and my emotional well-being are the small habits that have brought me big changes this year. Exercise is already part of my routine, and I definitely believe it's important for staying in good condition. Kisses.
ReplyDeleteFocusing on your diet and emotional well-being as small habits leading to big changes is incredibly insightful, and it's great that exercise is already a solid part of your routine for staying in top condition.
DeleteThis is a great reminder that small changes in your habits can really have a positive impact!
ReplyDeleteIt really does Karalee. Thanks for stopping by,
DeleteSuch a refreshing reminder that the small things really do shape the big picture. Feeling this today.
ReplyDeleteIt's powerful to feel that connection and remember that every little step counts.

Hello Benita,
ReplyDeleteThis post contains important information about how to take care of our well-being. It is very useful. These are small steps that have big results for our physical, mental, and financial health! As I have several chronic illnesses, I cannot exercise or eat healthily, as I suffer from intolerances to many foods, I can only eat what does not harm me! As for our appearance, I think that if we take care of ourselves even before we open our mouths to speak, we are already making a good impression on others. Have a great weekend!
It sounds like you've found a wonderful way to navigate your health challenges by focusing on what works for your body, which is incredibly important. And you're absolutely right about appearance, taking care of ourselves visually definitely helps make a good first impression, even before we say a word. Do have a wonderful week.
DeleteWonderful post! These are all very important habits to build on, especially since they focus on both our mental and physical health and wellbeing. Thanks for sharing!
