I am just constantly moving, whether it's outside exercising or driving somewhere — I like to stay busy. But, of course, in order to be able to stay busy and then survive at school, I need to have money, so a summer job is important. I find that I can never sit still so I find myself always busy. I like to be out and doing things, especially on really nice days.
I have conjured up five simple, doable, and rejuvenating goals that I believe will lead to a more positive attitude, healthier body (and mind) to keep myself going each day, so when I get back to school I am more motivated than ever.
Now, I am not a person of routine because I love to do different things each day, so finding activities and hobbies that can be alternated and mixed up help to keep the change more exciting and purposeful.
1. Stretch every morning
Find your focus and relax your body from a long sleep, when you wake up, or a long day, every night before you go to sleep. Also, before and after every workout and when standing after sitting for a while. I have found that stretching is one of the most relaxing and tension-relieving activities to do. There is such much strength in the patience that comes with focusing mentally on your own self and really stretching your body out. Relieving tension in your muscles and tendons, I mean really stretching them out after working out and growing that flexibility in your arms and legs will help tremendously with soreness; it keeps the blood and nutrients flowing to those muscles.
2. Do at least an hour of physical activity a day
Whether that be running five miles outside, swimming in a pool or walking a dog, do something that keeps your body in active motion, maybe even enough to break a sweat. Being physically active every day keeps your mind active and more open. All these chemicals activating in your body allow you to stay on your feet throughout the day with less of a hard crash at the end of the day.
3. Do a puzzle, play a card game, read a book
4. Eat colorful meals
5. Have fun and get some sun
Take in every day as a new opportunity to feel good, have a good day, and enjoy the time off you do have. School is stressful so it makes sense as to why most don't like it and can't wait to get away from it. All I'll say it make sure what you choose to do doesn't end up defining you in a negative way. Be yourself, create new hobbies, new friends, explore things you've never seen before...be alive and be good.
These may seem like cliché and basic goals, but that's the point. They are so commonly practiced by so many people and they're effective, which is why we keep going. You may not see results instantly, but these are goals that you must continuously practice in order to see improvement and see more positive changes. I hope that when you are finished reading, you'll think of things you can do differently to bring more significance and meaning to life.
