Exercise is an important part of staying mentally and physically healthy. Research has shown that there are many benefits that come with exercise. Physically, it keeps your bones and joints healthy and possibly, even staves off those extra pounds. It is known to delay the onset of lifestyle diseases like diabetes and obesity. Besides the physical benefits, exercise is known to release feel-good hormones that boost your mood and energy levels, thereby making you feel happy and healthy every day.

Stress is an important aspect that can deteriorate your mental and physical well-being. Look for ways to combat stress. Identify what's causing stress for you. Is it work, relationship, money? When you find the cause, work on ways, and means to reduce it.

Meditation is a simple activity that can give a physically, mentally, and spiritually enriching lifestyle. When you take in a deep breath, you're giving a big oxygen supply to your body and when you breathe out, you're releasing the toxins, all of which are physically good. When the oxygen circulates better and when you close your eyes, you feel at peace with yourself and that's mentally rejuvenating. While you meditate, you feel a closeness to the nature around you and this can be a spiritually enriching experience.

Humans are not designed to live as loners, rather we are social animals that thrive well in a group. So, make sure you have a support network of friends and family members who understand you and can support you in the best way possible. But make sure these people make you feel positive and don't bring out negative feelings.

It is important you do a self-evaluation once every few months at least to better understand yourself. Where are you at this stage in your life and how can you get better? What's stopping you from achieving your goals? Answers to these questions can give a reality check on your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being and you'll naturally start taking steps to become a better person.

Maintaining a journal is absolutely important if you're looking to become a better person physically, mentally, and spiritually. Start with your goals and make a note of the progress you have made towards the same. This will not only help you to understand what's working for you, but it will also keep you on the right path. Also, it can give a better perspective about your life.

Make sure you continue to write down your progress and evaluate it often to get a perspective of your current state. Never hesitate to take professional help at any point, especially when you have many questions and need answers for the same.
