7 ways to start 2023
Today we are not here to talk about packaging and graphic finishing techniques. We also care about your well-being and of our team. That is why we want to share 7 ways to start 2023 in a healthy way.
Whether it's turning the page of the calendar that happens all over the world at this time of year, or a new spiritual beginning that is at the center of the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah (in September or October) and the Buddhist celebration of Songkran in Thailand (in April), all of us humans have a tendency to associate the arrival of a new year with the opportunity to try again and to make a clean slate. It is also a time to look ahead, hoping for the best in the months to come.
For some, that may mean starting a fitness program or eating right. For others, it may mean making a commitment to spend more time with family and friends.
Whatever your plan to “start off the year” in 2023, here are seven ways you can adopt to live your fullest and healthiest life as we prepare to welcome in the new year.
1. Achieve an attitude of gratitude.From a psychological and physiological point of view, being grateful is good for your health. Dr. Robert A. Emmons, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, has based his work on the scientific study of "gratitude: its causes, its possible effects on human health and well-being." The research, which he conducted with his colleague Michael E. McCullough shows that being grateful for what you have not only reduces depression and stress and lowers blood pressure but can also slow the effects of aging.
2. Commit to being physically fit.You don't have to become a world-class athlete to get up and start moving more this new year. Maybe you can set a goal of completing a 5k run by the end of 2023.
Maybe walking to the nearest park twice a week is more realistic; or leave the car at home to run errands and do them by bike. The important thing is that you find a routine that works for you, and that you can maintain in the long term.
3. Make sleeping well a priority.It's hard to feel good if you're exhausted. Much scientific research proves that sleep is critical to our overall health. Not only does getting a good night's sleep help keep you from gaining weight, but it can reduce risk factors for heart attacks, strokes, and chronic diseases like diabetes. It also helps you think clearly. And who doesn't want to start the new year with a sharp mind?
4. Make it a goal to strengthen social relationships.Do you think that getting together with your family and friends is nice, but it is not necessary? As Harvard Medical School's Women's Health Watch notes, "Dozens of studies have shown that people who have good relationships with their family, friends, and community are happier, have fewer health problems, and live longer". And they live better. Scientists have found that these regular interactions help "relieve harmful levels of stress that can negatively affect coronary arteries, bowel function, insulin regulation, and the immune system". And the best thing is that being in contact with another person does not require money or special skills. 5. Look for ways to improve someone else's life.We've asked millions of people around the world what makes them feel most complete, and GIVE has been in the top three most popular responses. No matter where we live, there are always people, causes, or organizations that can benefit from our time, expertise, or resources. Not only because we are humans biologically programmed to share with others, but research by the neuroscientist from the National Institute of Health Jorge Moll alleges that when doing so we receive stimulus called "Helper's High" thanks to the release of neurotransmitters for the sensation of pleasure. 6. Make learning a lifelong habit.Have you always wanted to study a language? Since you were a child, have you wanted to learn to play an instrument? Perhaps this year is the time to take up that challenge. Learning is very important, especially as we get older, says the Association for Psychological Science. They studied 221 adults between the ages of 60 and 90 who spent 15 hours a week learning a new skill. After three months, those who took up skills that required active participation and higher-level cognitive processes (such as digital photography and quilting) showed memory improvements compared to those who only engaged in social interactions and activities. less demanding mental activities such as listening to classical music. This is another reason to exercise our brain regularly. 7. Make staying healthy a priority.We're all busy, and it's easy to put off that checkup, vision exam, or physical. But as the new year approaches, why not pause and schedule doctor visits and encourage loved ones and friends to do the same? After all, good health is the foundation to start everything we want to achieve this new year. Why not go ahead and invest in the most precious thing you have? December 31 2022|Emilia Piedra Donoso.
