Tips to Boost Your Mental Fitness

Tracking Journal

Track gratitude and achievement with a journal. Include 3 things you were grateful for and 3 things you were able to accomplish each day.

  • Set up a getaway. It could be camping with friends or a trip to the tropics. The act of planning a vacation and having something to look forward to can boost your overall happiness for up to 8 weeks!
  • Work your strengths. Do something you’re good at to build self-confidence, then tackle a tougher task.
  • “You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”– Martin Luther King, Jr. Think of something in your life you want to improve and figure out what you can do to take a step in the right direction.

Boosting Brainpower

  • Boosting brainpower by treating yourself to a couple pieces of dark chocolate every few days. The flavonoids, caffeine, and theobromine in chocolate are thought to work together to improve alertness and mental skills.
  • Sometimes, we don’t need to add new activities to get more pleasure.We just need to soak up the joy in the ones we’ve already got. Trying to be optimistic doesn’t mean ignoring the uglier sides of life. It just means focusing on the positive as much as possible.
  • Take time to laugh. Hang out with a funny friend, watch a comedy or check out cute videos online. Laughter helps reduce anxiety.
  • Go off the grid. Leave your smart phone at home for a day and disconnect from constant emails, alerts, and other interruptions. Spend time doing something fun with someone face-to-face.
  • Try prepping your lunches or picking out your clothes for the work week. You’ll save some time in the mornings and have a sense of control about the week ahead.

Feeling stressed?

  • Smile. It may not be the easiest thing to do, but smiling can help to lower your heart rate and calm you down.
  • Do something with friends and family– have a cookout, go to a park, or play a game. People are 12 times more likely to feel happy on days that they spend 6-7 hours with friends and family.
  • Do your best to enjoy 15 minutes of sunshine, and apply sunscreen. Sunlight synthesizes Vitamin D, which experts believe is a mood elevator.
