 November 14th
...See more HEY EVERYONE! WELCOME TO "WELLNESS WEDNESDAY"~  And IT's "WORLD KINDNESS DAY"~ "Happy World Kindness Day"! As you work toward your health goals, it's crucial to adopt a mindset of kindness — not just to others and the planet, but most importantly, to yourself. You matter, and your progress is worth celebrating! Here are some simple kindness tips to embrace today and carry with you throughout the remaining days of the year: 1) Be kind to your body. Next time you're in front of the mirror, say something nice to yourself 2) Stay in your lane. Don't get caught up comparing your progress to others. Your body, your path, your pace — it's all uniquely yours, and that's what makes it special. 3) Practice mindfulness Be kind to your body and your soul by slowing down and being mindful in the moment. 4) Give yourself the gift of exercise. There's no better way to invest in your future self. Start with some easy-paced walks and then gradually work in resistance training. Be kind to your muscles — they're there to support you! 5) Spread kind words.  Community is all about  making kindness contagious... Don't be shy — get involved, share your journey, and lift up others with your words. Remember... Embracing kindness can supercharge your weight loss journey & make living a Healthy Lifestyle feel like second nature.... So go on out & spread some Kindness! "QUESTION" What CAN YOU DO "TODAY" (& beyond) TO BE KIND TO YOURSELF (OR SPREAD KINDNESS TO OTHERS) To Help Supercharge Your Own "Healthy Living & Wellness Journey"?!

...See more Hlo everyone... Today only I joined this community.... My greetings to everyone . Hope you are all doing good...  So I just wanted to write a little bit about emotional support.. As we all need that right but still asking for emotional support is like so difficult because we think it's not a normal thing.... But just the way we get injured and quickly ask for help Or seek for support to cure that injury... Just like that we should seek support for our emotional health because emotional health is a important aspects of us we can't take it lightly. Hope you all take good care of your emotional health and never feel awkward to seek emotional support .  Have a great day 😁😁

Wellness Wednesday: 8/14/24 (6 Summer Mental Health Helpers)~
by PoliteOcean
Last post
 August 15th
...See more HEY EVERYONE! WELCOME TO WELLNESS WEDNESDAY  ⭐️Today’s Topic Is 6 Summer Mental Health Helpers~  ☀️There's no denying it: Summer is a special, carefree time of year for many of us! But while the warmer months bring a boatload of fun for many, summer can also trigger mental health struggles for some people. ☀️Routines may shift dramatically, which can impact our mental and physical health… It's possible to prevent (or manage) these challenges as long as you're aware of a few potential pitfalls. "The key is getting to know what works best for your brain and body. ⭐️LETS DISCUSS 6 HELPFUL TIPS THAT CAN HELP SUPPORT OF MENTAL HEALTH DURING THE SUMMER~  1.) PROPER SLEEP 2.) PROPER NUTRITION  3.) GETTING PROPER MOVEMENT (even though it’s hot)! 🥵  4.) TAKING ADVANTAGE OF VACATION TIME OR TIME OFF! 5.) PRACTICING SELF COMPASSION WITH BODY IMAGE CONCERNS  6.) STAYING CONNECTED WITH OTHERS  ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️ 1.) Even though it’s Summer, sticking with a proper sleep routine can help you to continue to feel your best.  2.) With summer holidays, BBQs, picnics etc.. it can be challenging to eat well… But you don’t need to give up favorites. Simply remember that moderation is key! Remember your summer fruits, vegetables, and Plenty of Hydration!  3.) Extreme summer heat can make it challenging to get outdoors! (Keeping you cooped-up “indoors”)!…. Here's the thing: Exposure to natural sunlight increases vitamin D and serotonin levels, which boost your mood…. Try early morning or early evening activities when it’s less humid. Or Plan for some Aqua/Water activities! Or..stick to walking or socializing in a well ventilated or Air-conditioned space!  4.) Spending “too” much time at work & not utilizing Off days or vacation time can lead to burn out, stress, and can take a toll on your mental health!.. Every now and then, we all need to escape the daily grind to help clear our mind and boost our mood. Days off help us to clear our minds, boost our moods & recharge!  5.) If you struggle with Body image issues in the summertime, try to remember that “Healthy comes in all shapes & sizes”. Practice gratitude & Self-compassion. (Or even find extra support if you need help navigating those feelings)~  6.) Last but not least, While many seize summer as a time to hang with friends and family, for others it can be a little lonesome Without regular human interactions stemming from school and work etc… we can sometimes feel lonely and isolated. Try connecting with friends, family, co-workers. Or try to volunteer! Evidence shows that when you help someone, there are physiological changes in the brain linked to happiness. In other words, when we help others, we help ourselves!  QUESTION: ☀️IN WHAT WAYS ARE “YOU” NAVIGATING & SUPPORTING “YOUR” MENTAL HEALTH & WELLNESS THIS SUMMER?!

I guess I need to work on myself a lot more than I thought I did

...See more So let me start by saying Hi everyone I know it's been a while since I last posted. Lately I've been feeling like I'm on the right path to healing both physically and mentally but get pulled back by my emotions to my old ways. I am exercising again after a few weeks hiatus, I am increasing my steps too, and trying my hand at yoga and meditation. I really am just conflicted in how my personality is  and how blunt and assertive I can be aside from my usual cheerful and nonchalant demeanor. Any tips or input would be very much appreciated.
