3 Quick & Easy Ways to Reduce Anxiety and Improve Your Mood

10/23/2019

0 Comments

 
Taking a little time for yourself restores and re-energizes you. It allows you to think more clearly, make better decisions, and build your self-esteem.

PsychCentral defines Self-care as "any activity that we do deliberately to take care of our mental, emotional, and physical health. ... Good self-care is key to improved mood and reduced anxiety. It's also key to a good relationship with oneself and others."

This week we have three easy fun and delicious self-kindness acts for you to do! They are so easy in fact, you can do them every day this week, or anytime you need a mood boost!

  1. Ask for a hug! Ask someone you know for a "real" hug! Research has found holding a hug for 20 seconds has lasting effects on the human mind. 
  2. Take a hot shower! A hot shower is therapeutic for the body and soul. Muscle tension loosens in warm water, and your mind feels a sense of security.
  3. Eat Chocolate! Yes, you have permission to eat chocolate - you're welcome! Dark chocolate is a natural antidepressant, and it produces a calming and soothing effect on the brain. 
    ​
Until next time... be present, be thoughtful, be kind.

    Note From the Founder

    Hello. I am the founder of the 21 Day Kindness Challenge Program.
    I believe if we focus our efforts on helping our young people develop good character values and teach them how to listen with their hearts their world will be a kinder place to live. It is my hope that my story inspires others to “be the change they want to see in the world.”
