50 Healthy Habits Every Girl Should Have

Have you ever needed to start something new? Something that's good for you because you realized just how much you needed to start doing healthier things for your physical and mental health? How about some new healthy habits to get you started? Everyone should work on their physical and mental health because they are so important and can really make you feel 20x better than you ever have. Maybe lately you've fallen into this deep place and feel like you can't get up. Maybe you're just like I used to be and just want to lay in bed all day and eat pizza and watch FRIENDS and never get up. In all honesty that's not healthy or good for you at all what so ever. You've got to get up, get off that couch or bed, and get moving.

Focusing on your health is the most important thing. Your mental health is also super important and it's what makes or breaks your day so take good care of it. If you have no idea how then this post is totally going to help you. These 50 habits I found on Pinterest and I tried out myself and really took to them. They were so helpful and helped me and my mental health out so much more than I imagined when I first found the post. So, do you want to create some healthy habits?
