Wellbeing tips!

Whether it’s drinking turmeric tea, spraying lavender on your pillows, running and training, meditation, dog cuddles or something else - share one of your unique tips for maintaining wellbeing and keeping healthy, happy and zen!

If you could recommend something that was a surprise to you that it helped, that maybe someone else may not be aware of, so much the better!

One of my wellbeing tips (that works for me) is doodling a drawing every day in my sketchbook.

An hour of brisk walking out of doors, preferably in the countryside is an excellent way to relax and lift my mood I find. And it's free to all- bonus!

Photography - it makes you slow down and admire the things around. At risk of sounding a tad cheesy....beauty is everywhere , appreciate it.

Talking of appreciation , isn't it about time we had a thread on that ?

Hugging, the really heartfelt ones, is under-rated.

A decent hug can cause the release of dopamine and seratonin, which reduce stress and depression.

Hugs also lowers cortisol, the stress hormone.

Hug, anyone?

If you have a cold and feel under the weather try hot lemon with honey and something physical like masturbating

Vitamin c from the lemon will assist your body’s immune response, honey has antibacterial qualities and masturbating will cause endorphins and adrenaline to be released making you feel good and speeding up your body’s immune system

Trust me I’m a scientist lol

Exercise - regardless of fitness levels just doing a bit more will raise your endorphin levels. Do that three times a week and it is comparable to taking anti depressants.

Go for a walk in the countryside - regular walks in the countryside have been shown to lower cortisol levels (stress hormone)

Learn to say no - we tend to over stretch ourselves helping other people to our own detriment. It is okay to say no to people, you can do it politely but saying no can be benifical to your own well-being.

Exercise. Or as I've been unable to for the last week, I've taken to cross stitch again. Used to do it loads, but went on a back burner because was so busy.

Can't wait to get back to exercise though.

Remove negative things from your life.

For example : Job getting making you stressed? Quit. Find another.

A person grinding you down? Eject them from your life. Permanently.

I know both aren’t necessarily easy depending on your circumstances - but if you really put your mind to it you CAN do it. I know this as I’ve done both in the past!

Fair enough! I just hate cardio. I still do it mind, but I do it grudgingly. I look forward to hitting the weights room.

Medical help is also important. Antidepressants if you need them, for one. Other health problems, including pain, can ruin your mood. Don't be afraid to see your doctor if you can't get your mood up.

Absolutely. Perception and fear based on past experience are so powerful. Understanding that is so enlightening. It's been my favourite tool so far in my recovery.
