Therefore, this program invites you to start the week by exercising hard. Like when returning from the weekend, your body has much more energy, it will be easier for you to do it on a Monday. In addition, it is proven that those who start the week exercising are more likely to follow the rest of the days.

So, on Monday you should make your training harder, and the rest of the days you can decrease the intensity. You will discover that it is much easier for you to keep the activity in time if you do it in that order.

Tuesday: check

How long have you not had a medical checkup? If you do not even remember the date, do not worry, we understand you. It can be difficult to make the time to go to the doctor when you really do not feel bad, is not it?

Well, this Tuesday of being a better version of yourself has two proposals for you. The first is that you take a minute to check your schedule and request a shift for the annual check-up. Come on, you just have to make a phone call!

The second is that you do a check yourself. That is to review each part of your body carefully, to see if there is something strange. A spot on the skin? A lump you had not noticed? Most diseases are easier to cure if they are detected early. That's why being very attentive to changes in your body can be a way to stay healthy.

Do not forget to review your mental health too. How are you feeling, have you been too stressed lately? Have you felt depressed about something?

Tuesday will be the day you will dedicate entirely to analyzing your health.

Wednesday: connect

Nowadays, with our cell phone all day in our pocket, we have an incredible chance to connect with new people, to talk with people who think like us and to meet new friends. In addition, psychologists say that having an online restraint network helps strengthen mental health.

So on Wednesday it's time to connect with others. Try writing to an old friend who has not seen you for a long time, or join a group in a social network about your interests.

It may seem silly to you, but taking the time to connect with other people makes the most abysmal difference in how you feel at this moment.

Thursday: observe your relationship with alcohol

We all know that Thursday is the day of happy hour. The prelude to the weekend always invites you to have a drink after work.

It is a good time for you to encourage yourself to rethink your relationship with alcohol. Not only that, it's time for you to ask yourself what are your escape valves from the routine. Many people only find a release in drinking alcohol, and that clearly is not the best for health.

Of course, having a drink with friends from time to time is not a bad thing, but this exercise invites you to think about when you do it, in what amount, and with what motivations.

Is it possible to make some change to improve that relationship and start living a healthier life? This is the time to reflect on it. A tip: look for a notebook and use it to keep a diary where you write down when you drink and how you feel afterwards.

Friday: observe your sexual health

We enter the weekend, we relax and it is possible that, as a result, we have more sex. Friday, then, is the ideal time to examine your sexual health.

Verify how you are using contraceptive methods, and think if you need to incorporate some change or if all is well. If you have a partner, take the opportunity to talk to her about the same issues. When it comes to sexual health, it is always better if it is two.

It is a great opportunity to evaluate how you feel about the way you live your sexuality. Ask yourself if you are enjoying it or if you feel that something is missing. Make a list of goals to improve … And put it into practice!

Saturday: prepare the meal of the week
