We’re all trying to improve our lives in one way or another.
Maybe you have a goal to eat healthier or work out more. Lose a certain amount of weight, or make a certain salary.
Those are all good goals, but they’re all long-term.
You don’t need to only set long-term goals to improve yourself! There are little things, and daily habits to improve your life that you can start right now!
So in this post, I’m talking about all of the habits you can pick up quickly and incorporate into your everyday living!
These are things that you can start today, (right now!) and begin to improve your life.
Healthy daily habits to improve your life
To start, let’s talk about habits that are going to be about your overall health.
Eating healthier, getting more sleep, and everything else to make your body feel better!

- Get the rest you need (whether that is waking up early, or sleeping in! Don’t feel bad for getting the rest you deserve!)
- Make a healthy breakfast
- Go on a walk
- Drink more water! (I love drinking out of my custom Etsy mug!)
- Do some relaxing yoga when you get up
- Need some gear? I recommend starting out simple with a Yoga mat and some yoga blocks. That will be enough to get you started!
- Eat fresh food (More vegtables, less junk food!)
- Reduce the amount of pop and sugary drinks you have
- Take any vitamins you need
- Plan your meals to include more healthy options (I personally loved Hello Fresh food delivery service, if you don’t have time to meal plan!!)
- Have healthy foods ready to eat on hand (stored in the freezer if needed!)

There are a lot of things to go through here and I know it can be easy to get overwhelmed just looking at this list!
But don’t worry, you do not need to start implementing all of these things in your daily life today!
In fact, that would be pretty impossible to do!
A lot of these things may not apply to you or even be possible to accomplish, and that’s okay!
Take just a few things from this list and start working on them little by little!
Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Your life-changing daily habits will be no different!
It can take 2-3 months of doing the same thing over and over for it to be considered a habit.
So take things slow, and enjoy every moment you have!

So many fantastic daily habits to improve your life. The best part is, that many of these are so quick and simple that they really take no time at all – like drinking more water. The one thing I really need to work on is reducing my pop consumption. I have quit drinking it in the past but picked up the habit again when the pandemic started. I am working on weaning myself off it, so hopefully, soon I can function each day without it.

I used to drink a lot of pop as well but I have recently stopped and have been drinking more water! I’m happy to have gotten myself out of the habit!
