Look around, and you might spot an idea that feeling like your best self (whatever that means to you) needs a big life overhaul or something big that everyone can see, but the reality is that most people don’t need to totally transform into someone else, and they actually just need the basics to be right. That means things like drinking enough water, tidying the room you spend the most time in, and getting actual sleep instead of doom scrolling until the early hours… Boring? Maybe, but it’s amazing how different life feels when the simple stuff is sorted out. With that in mind, keep reading to find out more because it’s almost impossible to feel motivated or confident when you haven’t got the basics right.

Little Routines Make You Feel Human Again
You’ll be surprised how much more relaxed you feel when you finally sort out the tiny things you’ve been avoiding, like changing the bedsheets, cleaning the bathroom mirror, putting your clothes away instead of piling them up on a chair or even the floor, and so on. These are small things, but they can be made into regular routines that you don’t even have to think about anymore, and you’ll find that when your space feels nicer, your brain feels better too.
And once you get the basics going, bigger improvements won’t feel so impossible anymore, and you’ll start to realise you can actually do things, which is half the battle, especially when you’re busy and tired.
Taking Care Of Your Body Helps Your Mind Catch Up
Most people forget how connected your mind and body really are, and small things like a ten minute walk or stretching in the living room in the evening, or even having a glass of water before your morning coffee, etc, can all make a difference. In the end, better habits like these and many more give you more energy, clearer thinking, and you might even become a bit more patient with yourself - and everyone else, come to that.
And sometimes taking care of your body means dealing with things that bother you but never make it to the top of the list, and finally getting something sorted out, like choosing to see a dentist and get ceramic dental implants at last, for example, can make a huge difference to your confidence and your comfort. Not only does this kind of thing sort the problem, but you won’t be unconsciously worrying about it anymore, so your mind will be a lot clearer.

Your Environment Dictates Your Mood More Than You Think
If your home feels chaotic, you’ll feel chaotic, and if it feels calm, you’ll feel calm (or at least calmer). It’s that simple. So just pick one corner and make it feel nicer, like having a clean kitchen counter, a made bed, a tidy hallway so you’re not tripping over your shoes all the time… Small improvements all added up make it much easier to feel like your best self.
Feeling like yourself doesn’t have to be a complicated thing, and once the basics are properly taken care of, you’ll feel much more capable and much more like yourself again.
