Move
Accumulate 1–2 minutes of wall sits this week while watching TV or during a break.
Eat
Add one serving of cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts) to a meal. Cruciferous vegetables are linked with reduced cancer risk and improved cardiometabolic health.
Sleep
Keep electronic devices out of the bedroom overnight. There are mountains of data to suggest that keeping your bedroom free of screens improves sleep hygiene and quality. (NOTE: Although most things in the “Bare Minimum Mondays” posts are designed to be tried once, it bears mentioning that changing something about your sleep habits often takes several nights in a row to catch on. If you always fall asleep with a screen it will likely be harder to fall asleep without one at first – but ultimately there’s a high likelihood that sleep quantity and quality will dramatically improve).
Manage
Try a 5-minute journaling session to unload thoughts before bed. Bedtime journaling reduces cognitive arousal and helps with sleep onset.
