Go for a MORNING
walk.
There is nothing more soothing to the mind and soul than
receiving fresh morning air and some sunshine. You don’t have to walk for hours
to receive benefits- a simple 20 minute walk will just do.
Sweat it OUT.
A good 20-45 minute workout (5 days a week) will
do wonders for your body and your mental health. When you exercise, your body
releases chemicals called endorphins. The release of endorphins is what
produces that incredible “euphoric” feeling after you work out. Best feeling in
the world.
Hydrate, but really HYDRATE.
When I mean hydrate, I really mean HYDRATE. Hydrate as in
drink 2L of water, not just one glass of water a day.It has been said that
depression is also linked to dehydration.
When our bodies are dehydrated, we are more prone to
feelings of sadness and anxiety. Not only that, but a dehydrated body also
lacks energy. If your body doesn’t have energy, there is so little that can be
accomplished. The inability to complete regular activities can increase the
feelings of sadness, frustration, and anxiety! Which is why, it is highly
important to hydrate.
Become obsessed with
FRUITS.
Changing your eating habits is important, but sometimes
tricky to do instantly.
Instead of focusing on eliminating all the “bad/unhealthy”
food that you consume, begin adding healthy food to your diet. As you begin
adding healthier foods to your diets, your body will slowly begin to detach
itself from unhealthy foods and once you know it, you will begin to seek for
healthy food more and more! The
foods that you eat the most are the foods that you will crave the most.
Nuts Intake - 10
Almonds x day
Almonds are incredibly packed in nutrients. Almonds are rich
in fiber, protein, vitamin-E, antioxidants and all that good stuff! Almonds
help reduce headaches; improve your brain, eye, and skin health; control your
blood pressure and sugar; and even boost your immune system.
Force a smile -
fake it, till you make it.
This one’s very simple, yet so tricky to do. Because let’s
face it, who want’s to smile when you’re feeling depressed or stressed? Not me.
However, when you know that smiling can alleviate some of the internal pain you
are feeling, how can you not at least try?
Smiling releases dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin – which
are all good neuropeptides that help alleviate pain, improve your mood and
reduce feelings of depression and anxiety . Neuropeptides are molecules used by
neurons to communicate with each other.
Schedule
"ME" time.
One of the things I have learnt over the years is the
importance of appreciating your own company. It is so important to disconnect
yourself from the world to focus on YOU, even if it’s only for a few minutes a
day. We spent most of our time worrying about others, why not do the same with
ourselves? How can we be of help to others if we aren’t at our best? Alone time
helps us reflect on ourselves and recharge.
