Reset NYC
15.11.20 / what are you up to today? i have to be out and about this afternoon so i’m rushing to get everything done before i leave. we’re halfway through november friends! hope you’ve had a good month so far ♡
Things that did wonders for my mental health:
- having enough sleep and a fixed sleeping and waking time ( at least on the weekdays)
- starting my day with gratitude (things to be grateful for: being alive, having a body, a mind, a soul, health, family, friends, food and water, safety, a roof over your head, your education, your job, your free time... seriously there is so much to be grateful for) and praying for my family’s wellbeing
- any type of movement - it can be as light or as intense as you’d like it to be: stretch in bed, hop on your yoga mat, go for a walk, go to the gym...
- showering = instant rebirth
- diligently doing your skincare routine
- nourishing your body. no counting calories/ no restricting. feeding your body all the nutrients it needs to function
- making a to-do list in the morning
- journaling at night
- reading before bed
- doing a monthly habit tracker
- having enough time to get ready in the morning and not rushing
- checking in with your loved ones weekly
- listening to podcasts - especially motivational and uplifting ones
- learning something new everyday - never underestimate the power of those 4- 8 minutes educational videos on youtube
- doing yoga
- allowing myself to make mistakes
oh this list is excellent!!
