Other ways to feel better

Walking and lifting weren’t the only habits women are relying on to feel good though. Others included variations of the below:

“Getting enough sleep”
“Spending less time on my phone”
“Orgasms!”
“Being on my yoga mat to move and breathe for 10 minutes”
“Stretching”
“Reading with no distractions”
“Being in the fresh air with greenery”
“Eating the rainbow”
“Time to myself”
“I’m happiest when I feel in control”
“Lots of water”

This list shows that there are so many different habits that can make us feel better. But most importantly it shows that true health doesn’t come from contorting the size or shape of our bodies, managing food intake or maintaining a high energy expenditure. Pure and simple, the things that make us feel like above average humans boil down to taking time for ourselves, being in the real world and empowering our bodies and minds. If they aren’t things to aim for in 2022, we don’t know what are.
