To Generate Income With Boost Mental Resilience 8 Secrets

I had a really good month of February when the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions started to lift, and it seemed like things would improve for many months over the coming year. There’s always a chance that the whole world will open back up sooner or later in 2020 but if we try our best we can work together and keep each other safe. So now that everything is looking so rosy for 2022, let’s get into some tips and tricks you can use to boost your mental resilience this upcoming new year.

1/ Be flexible with what you’re willing to sacrifice. If you have kids at home and you’re not an essential worker, there’s no point in spending every waking hour worrying about how they’re doing in school. You can simply go to bed earlier tomorrow and wake up refreshed and ready to tackle the next day with enthusiasm. You can also accept extra shifts if needed but be sure that you’re being as efficient as you possibly can when you do. This should be reflected in the quality of your sleep and you should feel more focused throughout the week.

2/ Don't beat yourself up about bad habits just because things are different in January. It might be easier for you to stay away from the gym, instead of running a marathon, that could actually be for your health and well-being. Maybe drinking too much before midnight has been a contributing factor to your weight gain and weight loss journey. Or maybe your commute was affected by traffic congestion. These are easy fixes. Just think about all the small changes that made for a big difference in your life over the past months. Don’t dwell on those moments when you feel bad and let them help you grow as a person.

They only lead you down the path of self-destruction, which only drains you of motivation and energy for making positive change in your life. Don’t make excuses for those you feel guilty for. When you let them drag you down the road of regret, you will only set yourself back farther from your goals. Instead, embrace the positives while taking note of any setbacks you may have faced in the previous weeks, and start setting out fresh now. Start learning new skills again and begin working towards becoming better than ever before.

3/ Keep the noise off. As someone who worked through high school, college, and University I found myself surrounded by voices and noise every time I entered new classrooms, new environments, or even my own bedroom. For me as someone who struggled in the kitchen, a lot of people who didn’t come into the workforce used their bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms as an office or study room. We were all so busy trying to survive that we didn’t pay attention to the surroundings around us because we didn’t want to give ourselves over to the noise.

Now, we tend to tune it out. Social media has given us access to constant conversations and discussions on any topic without having to interact face-to-face with anyone. That means less distraction and more time spent studying on our laptops, phones, iPads and personal computers. Keeping our noise to a minimum can help us learn, focus and stay motivated throughout the rest of the day because when we are distracted and have nothing to listen to, we tend to lose interest in whatever the study is teaching us and we tend to become bored. We need to get that noise off our cellphones because distractions are the worst enemies of productivity.

4/ Find ways to recharge. Taking care of your mental health is the most important thing you could do during those last few months. Your physical and emotional wellbeing is more important than your financial prospects because money is just paper and ink. Money doesn’t buy happiness either. The latter cannot be bought, earned or saved, but the former is gained and that is why we spend so much time in our relationships with others that we don’t really stop to enjoy ourselves.

Try incorporating healthy and nutritious food back into your home. Cook some healthier meals at home, whether it’s lunch or dinner, and find healthy recipes online for healthier meals to share around. Try cooking something tasty in the middle of the weekend, after hectic work hours and take it to the couch for dessert. Use the heat instead of washing dishes. Even if you only boil them once you eat,

it will save some cleaning effort and it will give the ingredients time to cook in the background, but try using boiling pads again if you run into difficulty finding success this time. A little bit of routine and consistency helps.

5/ Take control of where you put your energy. Once you realize where’s most useful when it comes to keeping everyone in check, it’s time to move the energy towards those areas. Turn on notifications, email feeds, messages and phone calls. Do anything you can to minimize the number of times you’re going to check social media notifications. You don’t want to feel uninspired and unfocused when you could be reading a book, playing video games, or simply sitting and enjoying nature. And if you aren’t constantly checking your email and social media feeds every other minute, you’re probably feeling drained, anxious, or irritable.

Spend more time focusing on what you can control. Focus on tasks and projects that give you satisfaction and fulfillment. Remind yourself that you deserve to feel good every day because you’re human, unique and worthy of love and respect. When you turn your attention to what you can control, all the worries that seem unbearable, and all the thoughts and complaints that seem hard to control, you bring yourself alive. Enjoy your freedom and be grateful for the time you have left.

6/ Manage stress by avoiding the triggers. Stress is normal and sometimes unavoidable but when it’s happening everyday, it becomes a problem quickly. There’s no way you can prevent your stress from arising in the first place, but there’s plenty that you can do. Firstly, identify the stress triggers that’s causing you distress. Then learn to avoid them. By staying away from burnout, you're able to concentrate, maintain a sense of purpose and feel happier.

7/ Exercise regularly. Everyone knows that regular exercise releases endorphins and promotes a good mood, but few people actually know that it increases memory and concentration and makes you feel stronger and healthier. Regular workouts also improves digestion and weight loss.

Research shows that exercise boosts a person’s immune system and protects them against major illness and disease. Not all workouts are created equal and there’s no way you can choose the one that suits you best. But most importantly, it should be fun and engaging and not the chore of daily workouts.

Go for a walk outside after a grueling workout session and play ping pong while you sweat it out. Do some yoga or stretching as part of your weekly exercise regime. Treat yourself. Get a massage or pedicure that leaves you feeling refreshed. Sleep at least eight hours per night. Work out before bed each evening.

Make sure that you drink lots of water to flush out toxins and promote lymphatic drainage, so the muscles aren’t stiff when they wake up. All these can help reduce fatigue and pain. Exercise will make you feel great and improve you health and mood.

8/ Eat better. Eating well and eating healthfully is not only important to your body but it’s equally important to your mind as well. Food is a fundamental source of nutrients and vitamins but poor diet and lack of focus can result in problems such as digestive diseases, hypertension, diabetes and inflammation. Good nutrition can dramatically affect health and weight.

Good food is full of healthy fats, proteins, micro-nutrients and vital minerals. Studies show that the right combination of protein and nutrient rich foods can improve immunity and promote weight management. Proteins, in particular iron, are an integral building block of muscle and brain cells.

Iron is required for your nervous system and blood vessels; vitamin B12 provides energy and cellular support; vitamin C supports your bones; and vitamin D regulates your skin. Proper nutrition includes all food groups and every part of the complex food pyramid. Foods on the lower side of the pyramid, such as fish, nuts and dairy products, have fewer protein stores and less Vitamin c stores which means higher risk for heart and bone related conditions.

A balanced diet balances your internal and external factors, which is extremely important to managing your health and weight.
