SAD therapy tip #3
Practice Healthy Habits
You will hear/read me talk about habits a lot. This is because I believe that they are a powerful tool for change. Our brain is really quite amazing and it has the ability to constantly learn, grow and change. You can train your brain with habits to turn into behaviors.
So what are considered "healthy habits"? There are many and honestly, it's not rocket science, but it is hard to keep in practice.
1. Eat well - this one is probably the one we are least aware of. When I ask how someone's diet is, they always say, "I eat really well" and then when I ask them to tell me what they ate yesterday, it's a little different story. So, to keep it simple - eat whole foods in their natural state and minimal ingredients. For example, the ingredient list in a banana - it's a banana.
2. Manage your stress. This is different for everyone, but find an outlet for your stress. It could be a bath at the end of the day, coffee with a friend or a WOD at the gym. Whatever works for you.
3. Build community - we are not meant to be isolated and alone. We as humans are social creatures and we need to connect with others. Find your tribe and foster those relationships.
4. Maintain your brain - keep learning. Read books for education and pleasure. Explore new ideas and topics - always keep learning.
5. Stay consistent. You have probably heard me say on more than one occasion, "consistency over time". It's about all the little things that you do on a regular basis that heed the greatest results.
These are just a few examples of healthy habits but you get the picture.
