What do people do to have a year full of laughter?

Plan in detail

Many people plan for themselves. Ms. H. plans in detail: for breakfast she still eats starch, but her starch can be a small sweet potato or a small corn. She still eats fish, meat... and especially eats a lot of vegetables.

To lose 5kg in a year, Ms. H. also set a goal of losing 1-3kg each month in February and March, and the rest will be divided equally among the months. Thus, each month after that, she only needs to lose 300g to reach her plan.

Ms. NTL (42 years old) made a specific plan for the year such as in February, eat less meat and more vegetables, in March focus on getting a good night's sleep, in April drink enough water, in May laugh more, in June reduce sugar and salt...

Ms. L. said that recently she has noticed signs that her health needs more attention. In her younger years, she often made plans with financial and career goals, but now she sees that her most valuable asset is her health.

Ms. L. believes that it is necessary to divide goals into smaller ones to make them easier to achieve. As a disciplined person, Ms. L. believes that she will be able to carry out the plan she has set out.

Some women plan to set their alarm clock one minute earlier each day, only watch TV for half an hour each day, access social media for half an hour, carry a pedometer and walk for at least 20 minutes each day, create a weight chart to track their weight and waist measurements each week, do a good deed to help someone, participate in...

Not only caring about physical health, women also care about mental health such as how to always be optimistic, love life, always laugh... to have a state of comprehensive health.

Try to eat and sleep on time.

Master Tran Ngoc Luu Phuong, lecturer at Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine in Ho Chi Minh City, said that planning to have a happy and healthy year as mentioned above is very good. The important thing is how to maintain this plan regularly.

Each person only needs to spend about 90 minutes walking a week. Walking every other day, 20-25 minutes a day is very good. In fact, many people buy treadmills to bring home but after a short time, they cover themselves with a blanket, their exercise plan is "broken halfway".

To have a good spirit, Dr. Phuong advises eating and sleeping on time. It sounds like a short sentence but it is difficult to do. Some people go to bed early one day and stay up late the next. Some people eat early one day and eat late the next. On time, according to Dr. Phuong, means eating and sleeping times can fluctuate within 1 hour. In addition, stimulants, alcohol, etc. should be limited...

Dr. Ngo Xuan Diep (Psychology Department, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Ho Chi Minh City) said that from the annual goal, many people have divided it into smaller goals such as plans for a month, a week, a day, etc., which is very good. Each person who makes a plan needs to clearly understand their own strengths and weaknesses, and anticipate difficulties that can easily affect the plans.

To be able to carry out the plan, according to Dr. Diep, you should keep a daily diary to understand yourself, promote your strengths and limit your weaknesses...
