“I’m Nervous”: The Mental Diet To Achieve The Well-being Routine
Talking to different patients, I have realized that many have created a bad climate through their routines, thus creating a kind of aura of bad energy that surrounds them and only brings them negativity.
If the same thing happens to you, I would like you to realize that you can create in yourself an attraction to the good energies that the different circuits of good work will bring you. Don’t expect anything miraculous or esoteric, It’s just a wellness routine..
Let’s start by talking about the first factors of wrongdoing. They are easy to identify and all of them are described in the following lines based on my experience with patients and, of course, with me.
1. Look at your phone as you get up
This only generates negativity in us. Have you ever wondered what it feels like to wake up and see bad news? That is exactly a sediment that stays in your brain, and only brings you bad vibes. Even if you think not, it stays stored there, and affects the release of the “happiness quartet” (endorphin, serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin).
This generates very high levels of stress and anxiety.. You have to understand that to go without rushing we must create routines with which to leave home early. Therefore, it is important not only to follow the typical recommendation of “leave home ten minutes before” but to repeat it for more than a month in order to make this habit effective.
3. Maintain contact with undesirable people
Why do you consume junk TV? Why do you dedicate a large part of your life to reading content from people who don’t give you anything on WhatsApp or other social networks like Instagram? You have to know that maintaining contact with them will only generate negativity, so I want you to understand that in your life, and more importantly, in your mind, only people who contribute to you should be able to (and should) enter.
In these times, I don’t care if the people you pay attention to are in person or digitally, if both generate negativity, it’s clear: run away. You will thank me.
4. Militarize everything we do, have our lives hierarchized to the millimeter
Get up early, go to the gym, take a shower, go to work, leave work and go shopping, you can’t take more than X amount of time on each task… Be careful! This tires us a lot; Running everywhere setting an unbearable routine does nothing but generate great anxiety in you and need to set impossible goals.
Therefore, I would like you to simply try to live day to day without having to give your best in everything. Just try to let it flow and if you don’t feel like training at 6:00 am, don’t feel like a monster, you should simply do sports at another time.
You have to take care of what’s in your head; Imagine that within it there is an interior garden, which must be fertilized and watered with the best materials. For this reason, now I wanted to end by talking about the factors that do favor good work.
1. Meditate listening to yourself
Meditating is not just about putting on a canned YouTube audio and “living life.” You can meditate simply and simply with everyday tasks. Washing the dishes, focusing on the sensations of that moment, on what you are feeling, and above all on what you are feeling. Focus on the key idea of Mindfulness: the here and now.
2. Develop habits of waking up
It is important to develop a mini routine for when we open our eyes. Simply focus on not looking at your phone until later, on meditating at least five minutes, and on visualizing what your day is going to be like, seeing it positively and resolving everything satisfactorily.
3. Feed your mind
I can ask you to read, I can ask you to watch movies, but this time I am going to ask you to follow interesting channels on YouTube with which you can learn to be psychologically stronger.
4. Move!
Important, Find an activity that makes you move and enjoy. I’m not looking for you to suffer while lifting weights or to go out and run 10 kilometers every day, I’m just looking for you to do things that involve moving and sweating a little.
What benefits does this have? You will be able to release positive substances for the body, in addition to getting tired and being able to rest better at night.
5. Be grateful
It’s simple, thank your partner for who they are, thank your family for who they are. Spreading good energy brings us good energy.
