Well in Mind Self-Care Tip of the Week
A Guide to Manage Tough Times
- Focus on Future Goals
- When the present is painful, it’s okay to shift your focus to future goals that help you feel excited, motivated, peaceful, and more in control
- Set goals that will help improve your day-to-day routine to bring you more joy and peace
- Set bigger future goals that help shift bigger problem areas, like finances, school etc.
- Generate Positive Memories
- Even when times are stressful in a relationship or at work, we have to also think about the positive and good memories that are part of those experiences
- Actively engage in reliving past, positive moments to help counter the present negative memories
- Find Laughter
- Laughter reduces stress and eases symptoms of depression!
- The source of laughter is not as important as actively seeking out people, places, memories etc. that will elicit laughter for you
- Stay Engaged
- Finding ways to stay engaged in your life and active in the pursuits that make you happy is one way to begin working through stress restoring your life to balance
- Set reminders on your calendar to engage in hobbies, attend events, call friends even when you don’t feel like it
- Ask yourself: if I’ll be stressed/tired etc whether I do the hobby/go to the event or not, is it better to stay home and be stressed and tired, or do something that could give me the chance to feel better?
