Energizing the Body

Hello everyone, I like to wish you all a nice week.laugh

These are some ideas I have for the week in front of us which I like to share with you:

How to energize the body

Practise good mental hygience

Try to avoid words like, Ill never, I cant, use instead Ill try, Ill do my best

Cultivate supporters

Find people you feel safe and willing to talk to, in your surroundings or online

Find time for pleasure

Sit outside for 5 minutes and enjoy nature. Have a small piece of dark chocolate and savour it mindfully.

Limit complaining

Focussing on what we do not have became a habit to lots of people, instead you can try to take a few minutes per day to express verbally what you dont like but the rest of the time focus on what you have.

Rest your brain

Sit somewhere quietly and do nothing, just let thoughts come and go without inviting them to stay

Call time out

When you are overwhelmed its okay to take a few minutes to cry. It helped us when we were kids and works for us as adults too.

Give something

Give something you can spare to someone around you, give a passing person a smile, a welcoming hello

Be grateful

Notice the parts of your body which are still functioning, that you have air to breeze, that you might live in a non war-zone.

It would be nice to hear your ideas or what you like to add.smiley

@Offmytrack

It must be frustrating to work all the time and have no time for yourself. I hope that you will find something which can be changed so that you get the rest/time out needed. Selfcare is usually very refreshing and your body needs it ❤

@amiablePeace77 great ideas. I find doing something that helps others really gives me a boost of energy. Or learning about new things.

Sometimes we are in knots just like these vines I took a photo of a few years back, It reminds me of how our thinking can be twisted and our bodys may feel... If we can unknot what we are feeling or going through then we would feel so much better...

Release the negative and replace with the Positives .. Relax and unwind ..

I love photography and miss it so much I do want to unwind and feel better and be back out taking photos.

These vines grew up and around my Grannys House and still remain there...

I want to feel not knotted up anymore.. :)

Peace and Love.

@amiablePeace77 Thanks I wasnt sure about the photo since no one had really mentioned it lol but I took the photo several years back and ran across it in my file and thought wow that is exactly how my head feels and the tension in my body feels.

Thanks once again and I am okay I will probably always be one big KNOT HEAD lol...
