I cultivate a sound mind through daily activities

 My sanity relies on me having balance each day. I cultivate a sound mind by keeping it engaged and stimulated. 

I love to explore the world around me. I always incorporate exploration in my day, even for just a short while. Visiting a new place or learning about something new is healthy. It maintains my sense of wonder and keeps my brain active. Whether that is checking out a new restaurant, taking a different route home from work, or what have you.

 

Taking myself away from the rigors of work is beneficial. I avoid allowing work to consume my time. Taking breaks throughout the day to just get up, move, and stretch helps immensely. 

My lunch break is spent outside the office. I benefit greatly from introducing a new environment. It allows me to clear my head of the issues at work and return with a fresh mind. I am able to resolve issues when I step away from them for a while.

 

Exercise is essential to both my body and mind. It keeps me physically fit and also releases endorphins that keep my mood positive. It can be as simple as going for a walk or doing an online video, some stretches, or hula hooping. It also helps me when I'm studying to take a ten-minute break and either stretch, hula hoop, or run up and down the stairs a couple of times.

 

Although I plan my workout schedule, it feels good to switch up what type of exercise I do. If I feel the need for a good stretch on a day I have cardio scheduled, I listen to my body and give it what it needs. Having the ability to freely choose how to engage my body makes it very enjoyable. I get more out of my workouts that way. 

Today, my mind is sharp because I treat it to various activities regularly. I keep it strong and healthy by eliminating rigidity in my daily activities. Having variety is the key to maintaining a sound mind.

 

Self-Reflection Questions:

 

  1. What other activities for mental engagement do I partake in?
  2. What steps do I take when I start to feel stressed out at home?
  3. What role does innovation play in keeping my mind active and healthy?

Wasting Time With Micro Timewasters

I t's   funny how we  notice when we waste time on a large scale. We notice that we spend an hour on social media or watch TV for three hours. However, these aren’t the only ways we waste time.
