Summary of 10 life lessons (for a healthy mind + body) ✨
Key Wellness Strategies and self-care Techniques:
- Adopt a growth mindset: Shift from saying "I can't do it" to "I can't do it yet" to embrace the belief that skills can be developed through effort.
- Overcome the Spotlight Effect: Recognize that most people are too focused on their own lives to judge you, which can help alleviate social anxiety.
- Focus on Inclusion in diet: Instead of eliminating foods, emphasize adding healthier options to your diet, promoting a balanced relationship with food.
- Embrace Change: Understand that changing your mind or path is a sign of growth and should not be viewed as a failure.
- Practice mindfulness: Learn to slow down and be present in your daily activities to reduce feelings of anxiety and overwhelm.
- Set Actionable Goals: Focus on controllable actions rather than outcome-based goals. For example, commit to specific actions like producing content regularly rather than fixating on views.
- Acknowledge Staged Dreams: Accept that life goals often unfold over time and that it’s normal not to achieve everything at once.
- Evaluate Long-Term Dietary Changes: Before adopting a new diet, consider if it is sustainable for the long term (e.g., five years).
- Reframe Fear as Excitement: Shift your perspective on fear, viewing it as excitement for potential outcomes instead of a barrier.
- Use Third-Person Self-Talk: When reflecting on your feelings or mistakes, speak about yourself in the third person to soften self-criticism and promote self-compassion.
