Take Care of Yourself
Take care
Our daily
life is full of stress, tensions and pressures. Each one of us is racing to
achieve a target or do something relevant. It sometimes looks like a never-ending
race that is continuously going on and on. That’s why, if somebody suggests you to slow down take care of your health, go out and look for health goals, it turns
into an avoidable advice or a weekend ritual for many.
But as we eat, sleep and work daily our body
is aging, degenerating and slowing down. Many of you might be suffering from
lifestyle diseases but where is the time to slow down. So, forget about slowing
down, as we all want to achieve and enjoy the sweet fruits of the hard work
that we daily put in our careers, jobs, study or whatever path undertaken.
Here are
some activities that will help you to come out of the daily rigors of life easily
and at the same time will make you feel fresh and happy again. To apply these tricks
you need to be mindful of the wellness of your mind, body and soul which will help
you stay happy, healthy and positive.
If Tired
take a nap
A hard day of work at the office, school, college or even at home can leave you tired. In fact, tiredness is the signal of your body to prevent you from experiencing severe stress. So, the best thing is if you are tired and your mind and body feel exhausted don’t feel shy to take a small nap.
In fact, a small power nap will
never let you feel exhausted and keep
your mind fresh. Keep on taking a short nap for energizing yourself and you will definitely observe the positive effects,
If Sad then music
is a must
Since music
is something that can truly understand a person’s mind and soul, there is no
other thing to fill happiness in a sad heart. So if you are sad for whatever
reason, don’t let it pass sadly because music can pump you up. A good piece of
music depending on your mood and choice can definitely uplift your mood.
Try
this most recommended therapy while walking, jogging or doing whatever work you
like and see its benefits. I am sure many of you practice it and swear by it. If
you can sing then singing can also lose the tense mood and make you feel happy
and invigorated.
If Stressed
then go for a walk
Many sources are there to provide stress relief to a perturbed mind. Playing with pets, talking to loved ones but if you want a daily stress-busting activity that can gradually keep the stress away then going for a walk is what you need.
Walking
increases blood flow and oxygen to the brain, triggering the release of
endorphins and serotonin which are feel-good hormones. Besides relieving stress
walking can also increase mental alertness, energy and positive mood.
If Angry
then work out
Anger for whatever reason can fill us with all the negative emotions that should be controlled immediately. But keeping your anger within yourself can also make you feel like bursting out. It is better to channel the negative emotions and destructive abilities generated due to them.
Instead, you can direct all the
negative energy generated to better use by going for a workout. You can exercise
vigorously, dance or jog to train the negative energies generated due to anger.
Otherwise, if
you want to calm yourself down from anger then better do breathing exercises,
meditation or yoga. Counting from 1 to 10 or journaling your anger episodes can
help in better management.
If
feeling Burnt out-read
Burnout is a
state which can overwhelm and exhaust a person physically and emotionally. It can
make you feel sluggish, exhausted and frustrated sometimes. One of the best
ways to tackle the burnout problem is to nurture yourself and listen to your mind and
body. You can rest at home, go on vacation or pull out a good book to read.
Reading can
relax your body by lowering your heart rate and easing the tension of muscles. But reading
should not be confused as studying. Studying will be loads of school/college/extensive syllabus work, lack
of sleep and poor time management. But reading is the easiest way to change
your wellness, entertain and relax you.
If Feeling
lost then pray
Different situations
in life make us feel differently like the end of a relationship, some kind of
missed opportunity or certain awareness that life is not moving in the right
direction makes us feel lost. You might feel helpless, emotionally numb not
knowing what to do next.
Acceptance
should be the first step to come out when you feel lost or alone. You can focus
on what things going good for you. As things can be frustrating, lonely and
confusing but you can focus on the energy that is holding you that can be
simplified as prayers. Pray, meditate and serve others and connect with like-minded people to find your inner self again
If Overthinking
then write
Overthinking
is an endless loop where you keep on worrying and thinking again and again. It
leads to inaction and makes you overwhelmed with fear. It can be depression or
it can be anxiety or it can be your fear of failure but you need to stop doing
this as this can wreak havoc on your mental peace.
To control
overthinking you will be needing something to stop you from thinking too much.
you can write down your thoughts to self-assess the situation which led to overthinking sprees. Writing or journaling
can be a great help to reduce intrusive
thoughts and help you organize good memories. Journaling can make you
concentrate better and think positively.
Take things easily and live for the moment, your well-being should always come first
