Today, more than ever before, we are faced with a lot of stress and a lack of time. Because of this, we tend to prioritize our lives according to the tasks that need to be completed. As a result, we end up with a hectic schedule that leaves little time for ourselves.

To thrive, we must take time for ourselves and adopt healthy habits. If you work from home – which can add extra stress that threatens to throw your work/life balance off kilter – you’ll need to strategize ways to mitigate undue stress. You can start by having a dedicated work space and taking a quick walk when you have a break.

This guide from Jessie Cole will help you cultivate your inner self and give you the support you need in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Maintain Your Fitness

Do you know that staying fit and healthy is one of the best ways for a balanced working life? For your spiritual, physical, and mental well-being, it is essential to be healthy.

You can create new habits to help you stay on the right track and achieve your goals throughout the year. Taking care of yourself is one of the most important habits that you can form this year. You can do this by getting a good night’s rest every night.

Meditate

The first habit you should adopt is to meditate. Psychology Today notes that meditation improves your emotional and physical health, reduces anxiety, and helps you stay more focused.

Henry Ford Health points out that meditation can be as effective as antidepressants for people with depression and anxiety. It helps your brain achieve a relaxed state in which it can function at its best.

Meditating for just five minutes a day has been proven to reduce stress and boost your immune system. It also increases serotonin levels, which can help improve mood by lowering the risk of depression.

Another way to protect your mental health is to be present at the moment. The first step is to set aside some time each day that’s just yours, where you put your phone on silent and ignore the outside world except for what’s in front of you.

This will allow you to refresh yourself from all the distractions that are pulling you away from living in the moment, like social media or other electronics.

What Is Good Sleep Hygiene?

You can get better quality sleep if you have a good sleep hygiene routine. Avoid factors that can disrupt your sleep quality and instead focus on those that will promote it.

A good sleep hygiene routine can lower stress levels, regulate hormones and increase energy for the day ahead.

Get Plenty of Me Time

Are you ever so busy that it is hard to remember to take care of your own health? It can be tempting to forget about your needs when your schedule is full of tasks. If you don’t make time for yourself, you might feel stressed and overworked.

It is important to take time for yourself even if it seems like you don’t have enough time to do everything. This can have negative consequences. You only need the right amount of time for yourself.

Don’t Skip Breakfast

Research has shown that skipping breakfast can negatively impact your energy and productivity. Researchers found that those who skipped breakfast had lower concentration than those who ate breakfast.

Check Safety Reviews

This probably goes without saying but don’t forget that your children need some special attention when it comes to wellness, too! And it’s not just about eating right, getting enough exercise, and limiting their time with devices. Before purchasing products for your family, it’s always a good idea to check out detailed product reviews from trustworthy sources.

This applies to you, as well. Setting up a distraction-free office area at home can help improve focus and reduce stress, but it’s not just about sticking to a schedule; you also need equipment that you can rely on.

Set Boundaries

Boundaries are essential for all aspects of life. Work/life balance is no exception. Although they may seem expensive, boundaries are essential to maintain your sanity. It’s difficult to concentrate on the task at hand when we are pulled in too many directions.

Take an Online Degree Program

Are you tired of your job? Maybe you don’t feel challenged enough. You can earn the degree you want while working by taking an online degree program. When you graduate, you’ll be able to get the job of your dreams.

By taking a personal and emotional inventory of the number of the above tips you’re practicing is the first step toward a healthier lifestyle. Converting these actions into habits may take several days or even weeks, but your efforts will be more than worth it!

Venus Lock & Prayer Mudra

jlvilders — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 11:00:29 +0000

This video is about prayer mudra and the venus lock. This video will teach you how to do the venus lock and prayer mudras. It will also discuss the benefits of doing each of them while practicing yoga or meditation.

Bringing together the palms in prayer mudra connects the right and the left hemispheres of the brain and connects the practitioner with spirituality/god/divinity. It promotes respect for oneself and others. It is considered a natural remedy for stress and anxiety and is useful for entering into a meditative state.

The venus lock is symbolized by the planet Venus which is associated with the energy of sensuality and sexuality. The mudra channels sexual energy and promotes glandular balance. It also brings the ability to focus or concentrate easily if you rest it in your lap while in a meditative posture.

I recommend checking out the rest of the videos that are guided meditations and breathing techniques. There are some gentle yoga videos as well! Having the wisdom to honor your body is so important! Here are the links!!

Intermediate Chakra Balancing

jlvilders — Fri, 20 Dec 2019 20:04:10 +0000

This video will help you to feel more balanced.

We will go through a yoga practice that will focus on opening up all of the chakras.

When we experience negative emotions or trauma in our lives, our chakras can close.

This disrupts the flow of energy through the body. We may feel more stressed, have low energy, or depression if we are out of balance.

This is a great intermediate practice that can help you get your energy balanced.

Namaste,

Jessie
