WORK OUT
join a gym. i prefer group fitness which takes out the hassle of having to think about the workout beforehand. i show up and get it done! it has allowed me to meet other like minded adults & make new friends well. :)
apple watch (or something to track your progress) & challenge someone
find a partner for accountability/encouragement
i also do yoga at home on the days i don’t go to the gym to get my blood flowing
LIMIT SOCIAL MEDIA
Be intentional when you are on social media.
set a goal before you even open the app
don’t allow yourself to scroll mindlessly
SET SMALL GOALS FOR YOUR DAY
Bullet journaling, lists, planners
break down each daily goal into smaller tasks
WRITE IT DOWN & GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD
JOURNALING
write down your feelings, thoughts, ideas, gratitude, affirmations
helps you get it out of your head and let things instead of dwelling
almost as good as therapy ;)
LOSE EGO
don’t take everything so seriously
you’re not as important as you think you are
DO ONE THING FOR YOURSELF EACH DAY
my personal favorite is to take a bath
other ideas: watch your favorite show, have a treat, do yoga
EAT HEALTHY & DRINK WATER
eat for nourishment and not just pleasure
make sure you are eating enough!!
DANCE PARTY WHEN SAD OR FEELING LOW
seriously. turn on some jams and dance it out! preferably 00’s rap.
make yourself smile
CALL YOUR FRIENDS/FAMILY
again, adult interaction is key as well as nourishing those important relationships
REALIZE SELF INFLICTED STRESS IS AVOIDABLE
you control your thoughts. nothing is worth your mental health suffering.
GET SH*T DONE
i often get stressed because of the amount of things i need to get done. just focusing on getting things done. it is better than perfect and you can always go back and tweak things! (most of the time)
JUST DO IT (thanks nike!)
do you have any tips for working from home? please share!
