Two of my favorite well-being routines are listening to gratitude affirmations in the morning and meditating after lunch and before bedtime. They help me to get into a positive attitude for the day in the morning and to relax during the day and at night.
@amiablePeace77 that sounds very self affirming
@soulsings
Thank you for the lovely post soul!
I have been enjoying morning walks recently. I've noticed feeling much more productive and energized for the day! :) 💜
@innateJoy9602 you are welcome. Thank you for your kind words.
I find walks really energize me also.
@soulsings
What are your favorite well-being habits and routines?
My favorite well being habits that I practice is relaxing by coloring or doing any thing that it creative and my phone sends me 3 self affirmations for the day.
How have they positively impacted your mental health?
They impacted my mental health by letting me be creative everyday. Which helps me feel calm and relaxed. And the self affirmations lets me say positive things about myself rather always staying in the negative all the time.
@lovingRainbows2088 I am so glad you found a creative way to reconnect with yourself!
@soulsings well I get enough sleep 😁 and I do gentle exercises with my carers every morning, and I do creative stuff to, I love arts and crafts, sometimes I write poems. ❤❤❤ it's hard to be healthy and disabled, but I try😁
@Tinywhisper11 you do a good job of keeping your mood very light and kind. You must be doing something right!
@soulsings. I’ve been doing breathing meditation in the evening and when I get anxious. It helps me to feel calmer. I’ve been keeping a gratitude journal also.
@adventurousBranch3786 sounds like a good plan.
@soulsings
I have a feeling that my well-being habits could be frowned upon on this website, but they sure did positively impact my mental health
