I very often write my heart out with goals and techniques that will help your business grow. We talk a little about how the industry is doing, and I do my best to give you ways to jump ahead of the ever-changing curve. Now that summer is here, and the heat is on, I want to take a moment to hopefully inspire some of you to invest quality time into not only your business, but into yourself. It is time to grow abundantly into your greatest potential.
Here are a few tips and tricks to start practicing daily that will improve your overall well-being:
Take a walk
Primarily, walking is one of the best things you can do for your mind and body. It increases circulation and gets the blood pumping to your brain. Feeling foggy? Take a walk. Angry about a situation out of your control? Take a walk. Whatever the problem is, a 20-minute outdoor stroll in the fresh air can help you approach things with a clear mind.
Deep breathing exercises
When we are in distress and trying to be comforted by someone, we often hear them say “Take a deep breath!” It is no secret that focusing on our breathing supplies our body and brain with a rich source of oxygen that instantly starts to relieve stress and calm the nervous system. Take a few minutes throughout each day to stop, breathe, and reconnect with your body.
Personal goals and accomplishments
Goals are an amazing thing. You get to decide what they are, how you will approach the challenges of meeting them, and most importantly, they supply your body with dopamine, AKA…the happy hormone. I am always inspired when we can create and shape something from just a thought. So, folks, set some realistic goals, work diligently to get them accomplished, and let those happy hormones improve your overall wellbeing!
Learning to appreciate yourself
Something I see in a lot of clients I work with is that when things go wrong, they blame themselves. I hear people say some pretty harsh things to themselves; About their capabilities, their worth, their intelligence. So… STOP! You are great! Redirect those negative, self-abusive thoughts as soon as they start to a positive about yourself. Focus on your good qualities and remind yourself you are doing the best you can in a world that changes constantly. After some time, you will start to see the difference in your confidence, your mental health, and your relationships with others!
Water, Water, Water!
I know I do not need to remind you all to stay hydrated, especially in this Texas heat! You will feel the moment you are not getting enough. However, a friendly reminder… get plenty of water in your body. It helps you grow, heal, and flush out toxins (negative thoughts are toxins too) so your body can function properly. Do not wait till you need to get a glass of water in. Make it a habit to always stay above the threshold of what you need to drink! Your mind and body will thank you 😊
