 Welcome back to my channel guys. It's your girl Coco styles and on this channel. We talk about beauty fashion and lifestyle I also run a blog called Coco styles NY so go check that out and I write a post every week for women of All races for fashion for tall women and some lifestyle stuff also because I am a vegan So I do push that a lot for women But today I have 10 tips for you guys that are 10 tips for healthy habits that every woman should have I'm gonna say Every woman, but I'm talking to my 40 plus women because I'm 40 And I'm well, I'm not 40. I'm sorry. I'm 41 I'm gonna jump right into it. These are pretty simple and this is something that I think that anybody can kind of put into their routine Even if they have children, you know Even if they have husband and you know, they're kind of busy with home stuff or even if they have a nine to five I truly believe that women of all ages should take some time for themselves Every single day or once a week or even once a month depending on your life's jump right into it So tip number one would be And I do this I've been doing this for some years now and it helps me So I want to share it. So Tip number one would be to before your feet hit the floor out of your bed Always give thanks. This is even before you actually pray or meditate Before your heat before your heat before your feet hit that floor give thanks to God give thanks to the universe or whoever and Just be grateful. Have gratitude. Look around your room. Look around your home and just be thankful for what you are blessed with. I Think that a lot of people To are not They don't have enough gratitude and they think things are just given to them just because but honestly, it's it's not So I would always recommend being grateful And you will be rewarded the universe loves gratitude and so does God So that's tip number one is to before you get out of bed Before your feet hit the floor give thanks and be grateful for what you have number two Make your bed now. I have been making my bed since I was a kid and Personally, I think that if your bed is not made Good day is kind of like all over the place. Okay for me, I work from home and If it's not made I kind of feel like things are off in my house So it doesn't take me but five minutes even less to make my bed Pull the sheets over fluffy pillows. Boom. You're ready to go and you're out the door So I think that's a tip that millionaires use and I'll see if I can find like the Source but I've heard that a lot of millionaires make their beds if they can make their beds. That's okay. We okay guys so number three would be to pray Meditate or whatever it is that you do before you actually get your day started and I mean it doesn't have to be 20-30 minutes take five minutes before you get your day started because most of us have days where we're super busy And we're dealing with people from all over between traffic between work emails phone calls take some time for yourself and meditate or pray whatever it is that you do and just take a second and just Kind of just breathe and just get in touch with Everything okay before your day gets started and I think this works because like I said Most of us do have busy busy days and it's so easy for us to get wrapped up in the day-to-day crap and Then we're home and we're tired, but we've never taken the time for ourselves So always feed your soul before you feed anybody else's soul because if you're not good Then they're not good. So that is number three and Number four would be to read books. I think reading books is a total total Healthy habit for women of any age being knowledgeable on things, you know, it's something that I am Well, I will always fight for and push because at the end of the day, you know Things are happening every day in this world and we're not knowledgeable of some of the stuff. I eat the vaccine You know, a lot of people are just jumping to take it because they're saying to take it But sometimes you have to take a step back and think about your life your health And will this be good for you in your lifestyle? It may or it may not So that's number four that is to read books right now. I'm actually reading The 48 Laws of Power and it's a really really good book and that's by Robert Green And it's really good I'm taking my time with it because there's so many things in this book that I'm just kind of taking back but I'm kind of like Twisting it into my own way where I can use it or whatever not in a bad way But you know, some of the stuff is it seems a little conniving But when you really think about it, you put yourself in situations. It's gonna help you So that's on the fourth. That's reading books number five would be clean eating Okay, guys, you know, I'm a vegan, but I am not gonna push you to Be a vegan. I would say try to start in taking more vegetables Less white rice more whole grains more water More smoothies Try to cut out as much sugar as you can And I will always say this cut the dairy out Cut it out ladies Cut it out. Cut it out. Okay. It's no good for us and You know as an African-American woman, I know for us is definitely not good I don't know. I just the cow's milk and the eggs and all that in the cheese It causes mucus in your body and this is how a lot of us Get sick. So cut the dairy out first and then kind of work on the other stuff but definitely bring in some more greens drink lots of water and Stay away from sugar guys. So that's number five is clean eating Number six would be have a skincare routine. It's a healthy habit As we get older our skin does not snap back like we would like it to snap back I'm 41 and My entire life. I've pretty much had pretty decent skin. I've never had any acne or anything like that My mom was really big on if you have a pimple. Don't touch it. Don't pick it. Don't pop it Don't even look at it. Okay She didn't want us to have marks on our faces because you pick them you end up with a dark mark on your skin so Have a skincare routine. It doesn't have to be expensive, but just put a little bit of time into Yourself again. So all of these tips are for you as a woman No matter what age you are for the young girls You can start young. I was a small child and I had Lip gloss. I had nail polish. I had little stuff like that that my mom You know pushed in front of me, you know to keep me in my feminine little girl ways As I got older I continued the same thing on even in my home. I'm very clean in here. I'm very structured Um, it's just how I was raised. So that will be number six. That is have a skincare routine All right. Number seven is workout Now I'm gonna tell you guys I think I've said this before I go to the gym, but I'm not like I don't go super hard. I go I go I'm banking on the way I eat honestly, but I do go. Um, I'll go three times a week And if I don't go through times a week is twice But that's because I you know for me the gym is not really fun I think I do well with a trainer and I do well with classes So if this is something that you struggle with also then I would recommend getting a trainer Um, they are pricey, but you can find somewhere they do like free classes sometimes Um, I know here in Atlanta. They do free boot camps all over the place Or they're like super dirt cheap and there's a trainer on every corner here So you wouldn't have a problem if you live here in Georgia So that is number seven. That's work out if you guys seem to be looking down and reading my paper Because I keep forgetting them. Um number eight is Really really important Have a clean bill of health now. We cannot Determine if we get certain illnesses and stuff like that But I would always say for the ladies because this is for you if you are 40 plus Please make sure you are getting your mammograms like you are supposed to Okay Now if you are Younger than 40 and you have a history Of breast cancer when I mean history. I mean your mom Your grandma your auntie More than two people. That's a history. Okay So You should also be getting checked You tell your doctor. I need to get checked because I have a history of it They're not going to turn you away You tell them that and I will also recommend you guys getting the bracket test. I'll write that word down here Get the bracket test done because that is genetic testing um If they do not detect anything in your genes they're going to tell you You you know, it doesn't mean that you won't get it or whatever So that's when again the clean eating comes in because I personally think all of that crap is from the crap we put in our bodies so Make sure you are getting your mammograms. Make sure you are getting your annuals your physicals all that goes to going to the dentist All of that all of those things Affects how you feel and you feel good knowing your status on your your breast your status when it comes to Any stds all that good stuff So that's number eight having clean bill of health and being on top of your doctor visits. Okay number nine would be Therapy All right, a lot of people Kind of stay away from the word therapy. They don't like it Um, I am gonna say in the african-american community It's something that a lot of us do not do A lot of us will go to church and pray and all that good stuff But I also think that is really good to talk to somebody and they have if you're not comfortable with going to Someone of another race, which I really don't think Because some people say that they can't relate to them, but I don't know I feel like at the end of the day a therapist is a therapist Um, and you're just there to release and just get it off your chest Some of us are holding in things that we have buried for years From being a child So I think therapy is a good habit for us or even journaling taking time out To get the thoughts out of you and just kind of release them and let them go So that's number nine is therapy or even journaling guys and number 10 drum roll Is probably the hardest one Being determined, okay And a lot of people will say that they want to do something they're started then they'll stop Their start they'll do two three four months then they'll stop Until something happens in their life meaning Let's say a breast cancer scare, okay Now you want to go back and start eating properly Be determined know what you want at the end of it all remember that our bodies are shell, okay This is a shell. We've been given this body to pretty much Borrow, okay, and I always say take care of it the best that you can And let it work with your soul Your soul So those are my 10 healthy habits that every woman should have I would say 40 plus, but this is for all women of all ages All races. I think it's something that we all should start doing And again take time for yourself ladies and make sure you're healthy and keep on top of everything for yourself guys So that's it guys If you like videos like this, please comment below and if you stay to the end of this video, please comment Coco we see you and guys don't forget to hit that like comment and subscribe button and do not forget to go Follow me on instagram at cocoa underscore styles and why?
