Both mental and physical health require some commitment, discipline and effort every day.
Ignore or avoid this at your peril.

Refresh
Get away. Detox from data and technology. Touch some grass. Shut yourself away from the world for 24 hours. Feel what it’s like to appreciate life’s simplicity again.

Appreciate What You Have
Your worst day is likely to be a dream day for millions of people, or more.
If you have health, others may not. You may have access to healthcare, where others don’t. Imagine that!
Having kids or your parents nearby, or a phone call away, is a treasure.
Having passive income or a job is also a dream for many people. As is having a warm house to live in or a hot shower every day.
Having enough food to eat each day is also a blessing.
We often compare up and notice what we don’t have or would like to have. Take a few minutes today to compare your life with those less fortunate and appreciate all that we have that most of the world might like.
Appreciate your pretty good health, free healthcare, warm dinners, hot showers, family, friends, income, savings, etc. Appreciate it all.
Great 20 second reel below illustrates this well.

Do Right By Your Health
Be smart about your health. Fresh air, exercise and a good sleep programme are essential. Eliminate toxins and unhelpful things like smoking, nicotine, sugar and senseless carbs.
You can choose health or drift closer to chronic pain, diabetes and death every day. You choose with your actions. Each action, every day, brings you closer to ideal health or closer to pain, suffering and pill popping just to stay alive.
It’s your choice. Choose wisely.

Listen To Positive Messages
Prepare your day with positive message. Listen to great speeches, books, cassettes and programs. Feed your mind important philosophical messages.
Do not dump garbage into your head. Be selective.

Go For A Long Walk
Either on your own or with someone. Get outdoors and walk for your daily activity. Go for 1-2 hours. Think new thoughts, consider different ideas, think opposite perspectives and just be fine doing this.
The fresh air, exercise and movement as well as the time and space to have many thoughts will make you feel quite amazing.

Sometimes You Need A Day Off
It’s ok to have a complete nothing day. You don’t have to plan for it. You can simply have one. Maybe even two.
I wouldn’t go for three in a row though.
Enjoy.

Stay Future Focused
Keep focused on your short and long term plans. Have a positive picture of your life and of you celebrating your great achievements so you can keep a good mindset, especially when you are going through the mud.
Write out what your life will look like in 12 months and also 5 years. Note down what age you’ll be and what your health and fitness will be, your weight and / or trouser size, your finances (including debt levels and savings and investments), your relationships (partner, kids, parents, friends), where you live and how (lifestyle, spending budget) and finally how you’ll spend your waking hours.
Write it down on paper so you get a great picture of what life will be like so you can work towards living that great life!

What Brings You Calm?
Is there a place, smell, person, situation, level of savings or expertise or a holiday destination that brings you calm? Get a sense of what that is and make note of it. Be clear about it so you can get yourself into that calm state whenever you want to. Make it habit.
Even if it is not somewhere or something close by, you can take a photo of it and look at that photo. You’ll be able to replicate the effect to some degree and that will get stronger with practice and repetition.
