STAY ACTIVE STAY POSITIVE !!!
You don't know how much difference a small thing can make in your day or in your whole life until you do them. Sometimes small acts can help in feeling more positive and productive throughout the day and can help to actually feel great.
Not everything one do should be driven by some motive, deadline, or a job threatening call from your boss. One can do many activities just for the personal satisfaction or for the joy. Watching movies and playing games doesn't really provide any benefit, not at least directly. One can just do them because they enjoy these activities.
To help a individual feel more positive and productive here is a list of five activities that can be done and enjoyed and it will help to get the most out of the day.
1. READING
There are literally millions of books out there and one can always find their favorite genre. It could be fiction, it could be non fiction and even these two categories are divided into many sub- categories like romance, horror, science- fiction autobiographies and many others. Now an individual don't have to be a typical book nerd to read books, he/she just have to find their favorite genres and find a selection of books to read in those genres.
You can read just for ten minutes a day and it will help to divert the brain from all the chaos going in the life.
Reading is great for so many reasons. It can have an positive impact on the thoughts and individual will feel the Positivity coming right into them, even if they are reading a book about zombies eating your neighbor's brain.
So let yourself drown in the books and see your restlessness leaving.
2. EXERCISE
Before you skip this part thinking that I am going to ask you to get a gym membership and waste huge amount of money and give whole one hour just to run on a treadmill then please think again.
You don't have to spend hours and money to read the amazing benefits of exercise.
You can literally just do cardio or H.I.I.T for ten minutes and you will feel all the energy coming into you.(but please stay hydrated if you don't want to faint in middle of your workout).
Exercising for as little as ten minutes can have a huge effect on your body and your mind. You can feel much more energetic and happier after your workout and can get that beautiful beach body.
Exercise release endorphins which are considered body's natural pain killer and mood elevator.
Don't start with something too heavy especially when you haven't exercised in years, in that case exercise will have negative effect.
Start slow and enjoy the energy.
3. GARDENING
Who doesn't like the scent of flowers or the sight of all those unique plants. You don't have to be a gardener to do some gardening. Now if you don't like to make your hands dirty or you are allergic to soil then you can skip this one but if you have no problem with dirty clothes or hands and you can bear soil on your hands then gardening is something that you should definitely try.
Scientists have discovered that getting your hands dirty in soil can actually make your brain happier. The Myco- Bacterium Vaccae found in soil can increase your serotonin levels which in turns makes you happier.
You also don't need huge space or so many hours to do gardening. The plants just need some of your time to water them and take care of them.
So get some seeds, a shovel, soil, and a pair of clothes that you don't mind getting dirty and make your mini garden at home.
4. WRITING ABOUT YOURSELF
Again, if you think I am asking you to write a whole book on yourself and publish it then you are wrong. I am just asking you to keep a little journal with you and write about something like how was your day, how you reacted when you bumped into your crush or how your friend betrayed you. It doesn't always have to be so horrible. You don't always have to write about negative experiences. Its your journal and you can write anything that you wish. It is one of the best things to do in your free time and you will learn so much about yourself and it will be a great experience. It is so good for your mental health especially if you think you can't share your feelings with others than sharing them with yourself through a journal is great way and you can clear your mind by writing all those heavy thoughts and feelings on paper.
just keep in safe if you are writing something really secretive.
5. LEARNING A NEW SKILL
Thanks to internet you no longer have to spend so much money on learning something new. Whether a individual want to learn Korean language to impress their B.T.S loving friends or just want to learn baking to surprise someone with a cake on their birthday. Seriously learning new things is now so much easier. From You-tube to several websites one can find everything they want to learn and maybe can even find a great hobby to keep your boredom away.
Learning something new have many benefits. It can increase concentration level, it can improve memory and it can also help you feel more positive and energetic when you feel like doing nothing. The feeling when you learn a new skill is really good and can improve your mood. It can also help you in future. Literally learning something never goes waste and it always provide benefits.
So take advantage of all the free content you get on internet and learn something new.
So these are the five activities that can help you feel more productive and happier throughout your day and they don't require money or so much time. You will feel much more better and energetic if you will do something other than your job. Try these activities and see if they help you.
