Still carrying on with previous weeks - drinking more water, getting more sleep, being active each day and logging food intake.
Week 5 is harder for me to write and is hard to put into practice but the focus is on optimism! I've left out some points that I find too woolly and not things that can be real and tangible aims. Warning: this one will be a long post.
- Self-talk. When you find yourself being negative about yourself then shift it. Don't magnify the negative, don't automatically blame yourself, stop seeing things in black and white. If you hear yourself saying "I can't do that" then correct yourself and switch it to "I can learn to do that".
- Try to gain a sense of humour in negative and challenging situations. Laugh about what you can.
- Take care of your physical health - exercise, for example, releases endorphins and can then help your mental health.
- Foster healthy relationships. Surround yourself with positive people and keep negative people at a distance. If in doubt, ask MN and they'll tell you to go NC.
- Try to find one thing to be grateful for each day.
- Channel Elsa and let it go. Is it worth obsessing over? If not then try to forget it and move on.
- List your strengths and accomplishments. Add to the list when you can. Look over it when you need a boost.
- Focus on what you want and what you want to attract in your life. Aim towards your goals.
Phew, that was long! I'll add my thoughts tomorrow as it's quite a lot to digest right off for me.
