The choices we make today impact the life we live tomorrow. The habits we’ve built and carry on with today are the ones that shape our future. As we grow older, we feel the need to make the best of our lives, to do some alterations, even minor ones, to live better, happier, and healthier. Sometimes, we don’t know what exactly needs to be done, but it doesn’t always have to be a drastic change to feel better. Maybe all we need are simple little changes that altogether contribute to a healthier mind, body, and soul.  Here are 20 positive choices to make today that you’ll thank yourself for later.
 
1. Never shop for groceries while hungry. You will end up picking all the unhealthy options you don’t want to fill your fridge with. You owe yourself healthy and clean eating with a few cheat meals in between, not the opposite.
2. Listen to your body. If it needs rest, give it what it needs. If it is anxious, calm it down with breathing techniques. Whatever messages your body sends, listen and don’t ignore.
3. Get enough sleep. Long gone are the nights when we used to skip sleep for a loud party or sleep for just an hour or two dragging ourselves out of bed the next day. Get all the sleep your body needs, sleep in when exhausted. You might feel tempted to break this rule every once in a while, that’s ok, as long as you don’t get yourself falling for the habit.
4. Cut down on sugar, and that’s not just about gaining weight, but rather about more damage you are bringing to your health.
5. Get regular health checkups. Of all the things you might be ignoring, your health is one thing you should never treat recklessly. 
6. Disconnect whenever you can. Don’t spend so much time on your phone or following the news. The stress coming out of both is unnecessary.
7. Love and accept yourself more. Stop the self-criticism and the constant comparisons. Give credits to yourself where it’s due. Don’t be too hard on yourself.
8. Surround yourself with the right people. The people you spend time with can shape the quality of life you are living. Spend it with people with a negative take on life and you are doomed; spend it with people with an optimistic take on things and everything will be easier and stress-free.
9. Invest in yourself. Learn new things, grow, and evolve. Investing time and money in yourself is never wasted.
10. Meet new people and try new things. Don’t stick to what and who you know only. There’s a whole big world out there to explore.
11. Learn a new recipe and cook yourself a nice meal. Set up the table nicely the same way you would if you have guests over dinner and enjoy a dish you are trying for the first time.
12. Visit the spa more often. You owe it to yourself, you deserve some pampering.
13. Take care of your emotional well-being and mental health. Avoid as much as you can things that weigh your heart down and invade your mind with negative thoughts.
14. Say no when needed. Do not accept invitations to things you are not interested in. Don’t burden yourself to please others.
15. Celebrate life while you can. Make new memories, enjoy life’s simple pleasures, and live in the moment. Appreciate every day you are alive, and fill your heart with gratitude.
