How to improve your daily routine?

We all have a mental picture of who we want to be. It could be a healthier body, an improved state of mind, better eating habits, and so on. Real, long-lasting change does not happen overnight, and it is a process that takes time. So, all in all, the key to improving your life is by making simple everyday changes and sticking with them. If you feel overwhelmed or just afraid, you will forget something. It is good to write it down TO the DO list/checklist the next day. Here’s something really important to remember: what works for someone else might not work for you. 

Why is a daily schedule important?

The daily schedule will help you prioritize your wishes and needs effectively and offer you a structure to support your productivity. Your daily routine can help you achieve your long-term goals by ensuring that you work on them regularly. 

📝Other benefits of the daily schedule included:

- Schedule time to meet all your daily goals

- Increasing productivity

- Procrastination limitations

- Creating healthy habits

- Enjoy a good work-life balance

What might such a daily routine checklist look like at the weekend?

This was just an illustrative example. We are each unique, and something different works for everyone. It's good to be nice to yourself. Many people have trouble maintaining a daily routine. Find what works for you because you know yourself best. If something doesn't seem to be working, adjust and make it work with your needs. Make changes based on your experience. Don't be afraid to try new habits and see how they work for you. If they leave you feeling energized and inspired, keep doing them; if they don't, keep trying new ones until you find ones that do.

📌We have some tips for simple daily habits to improve your life for good:

- Go to sleep by 11 pm. No screen aloud. Get at least 7-8 hours of sleep.

😴To get a good night's sleep, you can:

• Limit your caffeine to early in the day

• Ventilate your room before bedtime

• Darken your room

• Stay away from technology for an hour before bedtime. We know this is the most challenging part before our sleep, but every small step counts.

- Make time for breakfast. It is important part of the day. Keep it simple - oatmeal, plant milk, add protein, fruit, nut butter, chia. Done!

- Plan meals ahead.

- Eat mindfully.

- Eat less sugar.

- Try a digital detox.

- Do something on your TO-DO list. When you finish your tasks, our brains release dopamine, connected to feelings of pleasure, learning, and motivation. A brain is so smart that when you feel the effects of dopamine, you're eager to repeat the actions.

- Swap your bad habits. For example, a bad habit can be when you wake up & grab your phone. Instead of this habit, you can journal & drink your favorite tea or coffee. A good example is also spending money on things we don't need. Instead of this, you can put extra money towards a dream vacation.

- Find the key ones. 

- Find ones that are working well for you.

- Small steps every day.

🤸🏻‍♂️You know that the Yogagang team has daily habits too. Here are some tips from us:

• Wake up early

• Drink enough water, best with lemon. A glass of water in the morning improves digestion.

• Stretch your body

• Every day at least 30 minutes workout

• Twice a week, show up at Yogagang classes (on Monday & Thursday in the Moving World Prague)

• Train with train.yogagang.com. Perfect yoga flows with a hint of HIIT, strength, and power training, all this with the best guidance of our Killer Queen Klara!

• Set your goal and do small steps so that you can reach it. Be as specific as possible and break your goals into tiny pieces to avoid being overwhelmed. Also, be prepared to fail and focus on what you can control.

Unfortunately, there is no universal and straightforward tutorial for a super cool routine. The key is to create regular and consistent daily patterns that will take you where you want to go in life, helping you maximize yourself on every level possible. We wish you good luck, guys, because you are the cool kids of Yogagang, and nothing will stop you!
