Start A Gratitude Journal
Bad days happen to the best of us, but you can lift yourself up by quickly jotting down your blessings. Take five minutes to write down all the things you’re grateful for — or goals you have achieved in the past three months. Refer to it when you need a quick pick-me-up during moments of self-doubt or when you’re feeling a little meh.

Move It Like You Mean It
Working out isn’t always about weight loss. We repeat, working out isn’t always about weight loss. Health issues like heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure are much more prevalent in Black women than in women of other races. Do your part in creating a healthy lifestyle by exercising at home for at least 10 minutes a day. Stream a workout you can do right from your living room — yoga, anyone?
