8 Life Hacks for a Balanced Life and a Better Year

February 13, 2017 By Milen Gala

1. Make small weekly changes to eat healthier

When people tell me it’s to hard to eat healthy or to change their diet I usually tell them one thing. It took me 5 years to get to eating the way I do now… And the one tip I give them: make one small change by adding in something healthy rather than by trying to take anything out. For me the first thing I started doing was just changing my breakfast. From toast and bagels to a green smoothie daily. Once I had my green smoothie I just continued on with my day as I had always done. A month later I started feeling so much better just by making that one small change that I wanted to keep going… If there’s one thing I would tell you it’s try and eat the same healthy thing for breakfast every day, wether it’s a green smoothie, a cup of oatmeal and berries or whatever you fancy.

I think many of us think that yoga is just postures, movement and breath work, and in essence, it is. The asanas keep us flexible, ground us to the earth and let us feel as if we are opening up to the universe, but asanas only get us so far……

Young unhappy woman in depression

I just got home from a tennis lesson and my 25 yr old instructor told me that two days ago he had a panic attack and ended up in the ER. Thankfully, he seems to be on the road to recovery, but it got me thinking, where along the way do we grow up and loose that childhood ability to let go of stress and let things roll off our back?  Here are 6 strategies to use when it seems like the going is getting too tough….
