Simple Tricks that improve health, that require no working out.

So some of you are thinking to yourselves that you need to get to the gym. Some of you say you need to change how you eat. These things are good. I will not discredit them. However, what people need to do besides change their exercise and diet is change their life. I'm not going to list some exercise or food in this post.  Here are a list of simple things you can do to change how you live.

1. Wake up and go to bed early, preferably a specified time.
2. Make goals, whether they be physical, intellectual, or spiritual. These three all overlap and are directly related. If you lack in one you tend to lack in the others. Find your purpose.
3. Include variety. Variety is the spice of life.
4. Add more structure. Workout at a certain time. Read a book at a certain time. Variety is the spice; structure is the olive oil--a moderate amount is healthy, but beware of too much!
5. Cold showers. What? Yes, cold showers. These are amazing in stress reduction. In fact I need to write an article about them all on their own. They can invigorate you and uplift your mood. They are uncomfortable at first.
6. Listen to positive music. Music is powerful in the fact that in alter your mood relatively quick. It has been shown to lower stress as well.
7.  Help others and engage in wholesome activities that make you feel good about yourself. This will make you happier, and consequently healthier

These are a few tips that I've followed to be healthier. While some may seem silly, you really must try them at first. Health is a style of life, not a hobby.
