Things you may not know but might change your reality.... to practice for better health.
1. Thinking of things you are grateful for everyday ( regular grateful thinking can increase happiness by as much 25 per cent).
2. Exercising regularly- just going for a walk can elevate your mood and increase feelings of well-being.
3. We are essentially programmed to see and remember the bad things that happen as that is how we have survived by being able to recognise what is something to avoid again since we lived with danger everyday as cave men and women. We can change this by focusing and remembering the good.
4. We are also hard wired to hang onto resentment, which is also a primal fighting response as we are hard wired to fight to protect ourselves from hurt and danger and internalise it to continue the protection.
5. Craft and colouring activities can help with anxiety and depression and are a form of mindfulness, which helps shift unhelpful thoughts and can even help sleep. (Calms the 'amygdala' that I mentioned in a previous post).
So get crafty, breathe, focus on the good, let go of resentment, and exercise.
