Be! Motivated, set goals for each day and the week. Here are some great goals to set to keep you focused and take care of yourself, if you don’t like these pick your own and share in the comments.
1. Be! Positive – Practice The Grateful Exercise – https://positivepsychology.com/benefits-of-gratitude/ – in short, just write down three things you are grateful for and this can make you more appreciative of the good things in your life and in time change your brain chemistry to make you a more positive thinking person.
2. Be! Active – make a schedule for yourself for the week with an activity each day whether it be walk around the block, yoga class or anything that gets you moving and your heart rate up. This will release endorphins that will interact with the receptors in your brain and reduce pain. In addition, a key psychological benefit of exercise is increased self-esteem, we could all use that. And during this time we are all under extreme stress, check out this research on how exercise helps with stress https://journals.lww.com/acsm-healthfitness/fulltext/2013/05000/stress_relief__the_role_of_exercise_in_stress.6.aspx
3. Be! Goal Oriented – whether this is reading a book, doing a project that you constantly think about but never start or even just to set your goals. “Setting goals helps trigger new behaviors, helps guides your focus and helps you sustain that momentum in life.” Check out this article https://positivepsychology.com/benefits-goal-setting/
