- Listen to the music you love
If the first thing you do when you wake up is check your smartphonefor messages or work email, you are doing yourself a disservice. Instead, try remaining detached from technology for at least 15 minutes and allow your mind to relax by :
- Doing breathing exercises
- Practicing gratitude
- Meditating
- Focusing on the goals you want the most
- Listen to the music you love
Why?! Because:
When words leave off, music begins.
Music is the universal language of mankind
Music is the strongest form of magic
Music can change the world because it can change people.
Should we continue? ?
3. Incorporate laughter
Whether you chuckle, giggle or cackle it feels great to laugh and make others laugh with you.
Laughter has multiple benefits:
- It decreases stress
- It boosts immunity
- It relaxes your muscles
- It helps you build relationships
And not to mention that laughing for 10 to 15 minutes burns between 10 and 40 calories a day.?
It just may be the best medicine after all.
- Get Enough Restful Sleep
Your body needs sleep, just as it needs air and food to function at its best. During sleep, your body heals itself and restores its chemical balance. Your brain forges new connections and helps memory retention. If you’ve been feeling groggy, irritable, or exhausted, you may not be getting enough quality sleep. Did I say that people who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to have bigger appetites due to the fact that their leptin levels (leptin is an appetite-regulating hormone) fall, promoting appetite increase? ?
