Every Friday, I post a few thoughts about being mentally fit, I’ve called it, “The Mind Gym.”
When we feel out of shape physically we go to a conventional gym and start to do some exercises that will improve our physical fitness. As a society we are out of shape mentally. We have record levels of anxiety, hopelessness and depression. That’s why I wanted to create something that might help with our mental fitness.
Go outside
Take 5 deep breaths
Call to mind a great memory
Smile
Think of something you are truly grateful for
Contact someone you are truly grateful for
Tell yourself you are loved
Listen to some favourite music
Think of something you are looking forward to
Meet a friend
Let’s work together towards mental fitness. Don’t just accept being out of shape.
