Good afternoon,
My tip I am
sharing with you today is.......managing stress.
We are in extremely stressful times with the cost of living crisis. Food and energy bills have increased rapidly in a short period of time as well as other things.
It is so important to help manage stress and keep yourself mentality on track.
You may exercise to train your body, but have you ever thought about taking the time to train your mind too?
Just like your muscles the brain needs nutrients to feed it and it needs regular opportunities to recover in order for you to be your best.
Here are some tips to get training your mind and boosting your Positive Mental Attitude:
MEDITATE
Meditation is AMAZING – it can help you manage stressful thoughts and just 10
minutes of mindfulness a day can significantly increase your mental well-being. Taking time to be in the moment - not the past or future - the awareness of NOW is how you can ground yourself and feel at ease. Many people only reach out to meditation when they are in an all-time low and with that being said it can take a while to gain recovery.
BE KIND
Being kind to others has the capacity to help you feel good, helpful and
purposeful. One of the biggest mental health challenges that many of us face is that we don’t fit in, we are misunderstood or that we don’t have a place to belong – but that’s not true, we can live purposefully. Whether it be one good deed a day or simply just smiling more.
GOALS ARE KEY
Did you know that when you write down a goal you have a 70% chance or more
of achieving it? Having goals will make you more focused and prepared and relieve the stress of the unknown. Make sure you write them down. A diary is a fantastic tool for jotting down thoughts going through your head. For those who have known me a long time, you know I LOVE writing things down. 😁
I would love to know if you meditate or what activity you do to relieve stress? I have been attending Ali's Yoga session on a Monday and 1) it is nice to actually join in a class, rather than teaching it and 2) I do feel so much better for it as like most
people I do a lot of juggling ie work, home, my boys, so it is lovely to have a bit of ME time.
If you would like to attend a Yoga session on a Monday evening, 6.55 pm for FREE at the Torkington Centre, Hazel Grove, get in touch.
Let me know if any of this helps in any way 😁
As usual would love your thoughts. 😀
Have a good weekend.
Paula ❤️xx
