What daily habits contribute to a more positive outlook on life?

Rather than aim for a 'positive mindset', perhaps an optimistic or hopeful mindset is better. Trying to 'stay positive' might lead us to deny the real challenges we might be facing. Striving for optimism and hope allows us to acknowledge our challenges but not be defeated by them - having the belief that we and the situation can improve.

The way you start your morning sets the tone for the rest of the day. I always recommend getting up early... like really early. Personally I prefer to get up between 04.30 and 05.00 AM. This gives me time to prioritise my most important project = Me. There is time to visualise my vision for the future, train my body, and work on whatever project I enjoy most. And also have time to calmly get out the door after saying good morning to my family. This ensures that I take care of my most important prioritise as the first thing in the morning. And then I can lean back a bit more during the evening. Do not start setting the alarm for 04.30 if you are used to get up at 06.30. Move the alarm up 30 minutes one week at the time to slowly adjust.

Firstly, identifying the habit(s) you hold that are not helping, are key in revealing what needs to change. Whatever you repeat , you reinforce. So habits are developed over time. Consider new strategies like sleeping early to wake up early. Write down goals that excite you. Plan your day in advance. These can all be made into habits that are healthy, inspiring and you can enjoy.

Les cinq premières minutes qui suivent le réveil sont déterminantes. Attention energie et intention ...Sur quoi je me focalise .. exemple : productive et positive. Quelle objectif je choisis ? Energie liée à étirements et dynamisme du corps puis boire un grand verre d'eau ..

Here are three healthy eating habits to incorporate: Balanced Meals: Eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats promotes a positive outlook by providing essential nutrients for brain health and overall well-being. Mindful Eating: Being present and savoring each bite fosters a healthier relationship with food, helps manage portion sizes, and prevents emotional eating, leading to a more positive mindset. Hydration: Staying properly hydrated with water throughout the day supports stable energy levels, cognitive function, and mood, contributing to a positive outlook on life.

I have a wide variety of eaters in my household. Adult child #1 - carnivore Adult child #2 - fusspot Adult child #3 vegetarian with vegan tendencies. It is complicated !!! I would say for us - it is about eating good food that you love - treating the food with respect - taking the time to prepare with care even if it means you need to sort in advance or cook ahead. The best part is taking time in the enjoyment of the food - despite our home having many different kinds of eaters- we sit down and enjoy our love on a plate together when we can as it is a social moment to relax your brain, build relationships and focus on each other . Healthy eating for me is not just about what you eat but how you eat - take your time, share in the experience.

You get one body. Physical and mental health is the foundation upon which everything else you do is built. Healthy eating means not only what foods you consume but also making sure what your mind consumes is healthy and growth-oriented.

Reducing sugar intake significantly boosted my energy levels. I have eased into new habits of eating to avoid rapid spikes and subsequent crashes in blood glucose levels . By cutting back on sugar, you stabilize your blood sugar, leading to more consistent energy throughout the day. Additionally, a diet low in sugar encourages healthier eating habits, promoting the intake of more nutrient-dense foods that provide sustained energy. This dietary change actually improved my mental clarity, leading to a more energetic and productive lifestyle.

Absolutely! Healthy eating impacts physical and mental well-being. A balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains boosts brain function and stabilizes mood. Nourishing your body enhances energy and mental clarity, fostering a positive outlook on daily challenges. Prioritizing nutrition not only uplifts mood but also strengthens overall well-being and self-confidence. How does healthy eating shape your positive outlook?

As if the benefit of living better and longer wasn't enough reason... I strongly believe that exercise teaches us SO MUCH MORE ?? Being physically active can be so many things, but it helps us all practice to do what is good for us. It also helps reinforce that we show up for ourselves. Giving us more confidence. AND... on the days when it feels hard, and we show up anyways. These are the days where we practice our willpower. All of this adds to a stronger mindset. And we all deserve a strong mindset to live our life to the fullest. Start small (like silly small... "walk for 1 min"-small) - and once the habit is there, then build on it. And remember... keep it (somewhat) fun ??

Engaging in physical activity is a game-changer for your mood and outlook on life. Exercise releases endorphins, natural mood lifters that enhance well-being. Whether it's a brisk walk, yoga, or hitting the gym, regular activity clears your mind, reduces stress, and cultivates a positive attitude towards life's challenges. Prioritizing exercise not only boosts mood but also strengthens resilience and overall mental health. How does physical activity shape your positive outlook?

People need people end of story. Whatever that looks like is for sure different for everyone but ultimately we need human connection . We need to be able to share in the successes, offer support and advice , share some nuggets of wisdom in a cool new recipe or new music just released - the power of the village is incredible. The laughter and shared space between people brings light to darkness, it is these moments you draw on and smile when times are tough. It is not always comfortable for people to meet new contacts, a lot of people dread networking and can't stand small talk but there are many ways to get social connection beyond a phone. A good business coach can work with you in developing those skills and being true to who you are.

Although we are more connected than ever in the history of human civilization, we are also more isolated than ever. Our social media is contributing to this isolation which sounds like an oxymoron but it's true. Nothing can replace actual, face-to-face human interaction. This is why depression was sky-high during the pandemic. It's crucial for your own mental health that you talk to people. A heart-to-heart conversation can ease most of our pain and give us courage to take on more challenges

Soziale Verbindungen sind wie ein Team hinter Spitzensportler:innen: Sie bieten Unterstützung, Motivation und ein Gefühl der Zugeh?rigkeit. Durch regelm?ssigen Austausch mit Freunden, Familie, Kolleg:innen, aber auch Vertrauenspersonen, wie Coaches oder Mentoren erhalten wir emotionale St?rkung und neue Perspektiven. Diese Verbindungen helfen uns, Stress abzubauen und positive Emotionen zu teilen. Ein starkes soziales Netzwerk f?rdert Resilienz und Wohlbefinden, da wir wissen, dass wir nicht allein sind. So bleiben wir motiviert und optimistisch, selbst in schwierigen Zeiten. Kurz gesagt: Soziale Verbindungen sind das Fundament einer positiven Lebenseinstellung und st?rken uns auf unserem Weg.

I could not agree more. Recently I started to learn Japanese and it is so nice to experience a language with a completely different structure comparing to the Indo-European languages. It redefines my perspective what language is and isn't. I highly recommend keep your brain fresh and incorporate any habit of learning, which suits your interest.

Reflection is power. Anyone who is seeking success has to invest in reflection time. Make it part of your day - take some moments to decompress and work through how things went. If its a big decision or big moment , you might want to do this with the support of a business coach, if its a daily download - then take a journal or find a way to shift from work to relax mode through a ritual of reflection. This could be sitting outdoors and taking the surroundings , ideally taking some time to meditate and clear the noise in your head to reflect with clarity . By doing these things, you can truly relax, unplug and stop worrying or stressing about mistakes you made, or things that are bothering you - you have had a chance to process.

The power of positivity is unleashed when you couple it with... Complete responsibility for your own life; and a Focus on what you can control When you have a positive spin on all the challenges you face, and act with responsibility and action on the things within your control. Then you are truly a magnet for success. Positivity in itself can be an excuse. “It'll work out great, just wait and see” So positivity in itself is not enough. But when you couple it with the two skills mentioned above. Then you have a truly remarkable point of departure for achieving success in anything you put your mind to. Positivity in this way helps you take action - and a lot of it. And that leads to success.

Identify your values. The closer you are to living your life in alignment with your values, the more positive you will feel. The greater the delta is between your life's activities and your values will be at odds with a positive outlook.

Habits are very personal to each individual - what works for one are the habits that one need to build on. Two things are important: 1. To release stress and re-energise 2. To connect with oneself and "listen" to one's intuition. Various activities can be sought : Physical: Exercise, running, yoga, walking, maybe barefoot on grass Spiritual: Meditation, chanting, praying Traits: Developing empathy for self & others Journaling and reflection time are other very effective habits. I feel very energised to go back to my journaling,after a month or so to see how my awareness was then and how is it now.It unfolds a lot of learnings about self.

The day starts the night before, so before you go to sleep, reflect on your day and look ahead to the next one: what do you want to accomplish, what is at least one personal and professional "task" you wish to accomplish? When the day arrives, arise with a grateful perspective, give thanks to God, and take a few moments to reflect on your day ahead, stay positively optimistic and don't allow yourself to fall into the trap of focusing on what you don't control. The grateful mindset will set you off on the right foot.
