Peace, thank you for this sunny Post, hope you are doing well!
I am so glad to share first in the thread 😋
For me, peace of mind is very important. We can not control all the events around us and stress still will enter our lives, however, we can control our thoughts and reactions. We can learn to be less stressed:) There are many exercises that can help us to be in control of thoughts, letting them go.
I wish everyone to have happy thoughts!
@AriadneLove
Peace of mind is the most important thing in life to me too and yes, there are so many things we can do on our own to help our well being, living mindfully, doing mindful exercises and meditation, reframing thoughts are just some of them.
Wish you happy thoughts too 
@amiablePeace77
thank you for your post. It is most important to me to be grounded and centered and I use meditation and yoga in the mornings. It only takes five minutes to sit up straight with your shoulders back… Taking deep breath's and envisioning all the good things that I can do in the world today. You add a few good stretches to that, and you have the perfect foundation for a successful day. Have a super blessed day everyone.
@Misty72
What you describe is a wonderful way to start the day to me. Yoga is so helpful to connect with our body and mind.
I think for myself everyday needs a different focus, but breathing exercises and meditation to help my anxiety always really help me.
@bubbleApple4001
Nice that taking the breath as anchor and meditation help you and yes, every day is a new experience.
managing stress, anxiety, threats, safety, and triggering things
@Amelia2324
Managing our stress and anxiety levels is definitively the way to a better, healthier life.
@amiablePeace77
Its pretty much all very important~...and all goes "hand-in-hand" with one another.
Each day can bring "different" things, or its own things and stressors etc... I believe that having a "healthy mind" is really the key. Having a healthy mind, leads to healthy and positive thoughts (regardless of the stressors, or challenges that any day can bring).
And being able to keep the stressors down, and finding the things that 'Improve" your mind and thoughts (though whatever method that works for you) can help you to handle most other things in your life better. (Whether its the physical, emotional, to eating right, sleeping better, getting in exercise, and so on)~
@PoliteOcean
You're right, a healthy mind helps to enjoy life and cope with problems much better.
Hello People!
Greetings of Peace, Kindness and Care.
A healthy and balanced lifestyle can be achieved by being mindful- what we let in our minds, and what we deliver to the world.
Ofcourse, there will always be that rollercoaster ride that will test us, and will shake our stability.
Especially when we try our best, yet our body and brains to betray us and what we like to achieve for ourselves.
The thing is- we need to "try" to face every day with hope and faith that we can fight the negativity and have that inner peace we all deserve to have.
Take care everyone! Have a nice time! 
@yellowCat306
You mentioned some very important points, mindfulness, faith and hope. All of them make the rollercoaster ride so much smoother.
@amiablePeace77
To maintain cognitive fitness, the most important to me is first and foremost to sleep well.
And then to study difficult but interesting subjects, play some brain games, and play chess online.
Thank you for the check-in !

@WelcomeToChat
Thanks for coming in and reminding us of sleep. The way we sleep it has such a big impact on our whole life. Brain games and chess are great ways to keep all areas of the brain active!
Hello everyone,
I think the list is important as complimentary things. I personally am working on diet and exercise. Sleep is something I think I manage alright with. I am learning to manage stress in better ways and I like to read and play solitaire, but I imagine there are games I would enjoy.
Have a wonderful week.
Thank you.
@orangeTangerine2093
Nice to hear that you're sleeping well, it makes a difference to face the day after a restful night. Reading and solitaire sounds good. Have you ever tried colour therapy apps, those can be very relaxing too?
I think for me to maintain my cognitive fitness it is important to have a healthy and stable balance of all these things. Including spending time with family and friends, learning new things, mindfulness, taichi/qigong, and traveling.
@Ivy229
Interacting with others, particularly people who are close to you helps a lot to stay healthy in all ways. Learning new things, mindfulness, taichi/qigong, and traveling sound great!
@amiablePeace77
What is most important in your view to maintain your cognitive fitness and how are you promoting it?
I can eat more healthier and exercise
I can do more for myself that I like doing at the end of each day
I can be there for those who truely need me
@pamharley003
That sounds really helpful!
