So let’s see what you can start doing in order to live a better life.
Cold shower
There are multiple benefits to be gained by taking cold showers:
- increased alertness
- improved immunity
- stress and depression relief
- faster muscle recovery
- stimulation leading to loss of weight
For anyone not used to taking a cold shower, the idea can seem somewhat intimidating. In that case, an article at addicted2success.com recommends taking your usual warm shower and then, at the very end, switching it to cold for at least one minute. You will soon become more resilient and the cold shower experience will no longer be quite as tough.
Cold showers also help us develop a stronger will. So if you want to rid yourself of a weak mindset, turn on the cold water. Okay, it might not be especially enjoyable, but force yourself anyway.
Meditation
Start your day with a meditation session. A mere five minutes is enough. Clear your mind of random thoughts and allow yourself to focus clearly on the upcoming day. It is good to pause occasionally and take a deep breath; moreover, such a habit can have a profound impact on your life.
Keep two kinds of journals
Keep a record of your goals. You also need to check them regularly, ideally on a daily basis. That way, you will monitor your progress and ensure you are heading in the right direction every single day.
Another thing that can help is a gratitude journal, where you make a brief note of three things for which you felt thankful during the day. The reason behind this is that it will make you realise how no day is as bad as you might have thought. You can always take something positive from whatever you have experienced.
