During these trying times, Tropicana Properties has recognized the much needed support our residents require. In addition to financial classes such as homebuying education or credit counselling, our residents needed something intangible – emotional support. We strive daily to provide valuable information, empowering our residents to meet their full potential. The following article inspires and promotes healthy thinking.
Perhaps you have a negative outlook on life, or you just want to clear your mind a little bit and come back with a fresh outlook, there are several things that you can do in order to make this a reality. Living a healthy lifestyle can help you in a variety of ways, not only physically but also mentally and emotionally. Here are some great lifestyle tips and choices that you can make in order to feel your best all the time.
- Drink plenty of water
When you’re dehydrated, your mind can feel cloudy and you might not be able to think as clearly as you usually do. Not drinking enough water is the main cause for dehydration, and you might not necessarily think you’re dehydrated until it’s gets so bad that you need to see a doctor. If you’re feeling lethargic, tired and like you can’t think straight, try drinking 300—500ml of water and see if that helps.
- Make regular exercise a habit
People who make a habit of exercising on a regular basis tend to feel much better than those who don’t put in that time and effort. If you’ve ever spent an extended period of time exercising regularly, you will know how it can affect every part of your body and mind. If you’re struggling to find the time to exercise, start off with just five minutes per day. This could be first thing in the morning or last thing at night. It could be a brisk walk during your lunch hour, or a quick gym session down the road after work.
- Go to sleep on time
If you’re not used to going to sleep before 1am, try to change your sleeping habits. This is particularly the case if you go to work in the morning and need to be up quite early in order to get to work. Measure how much sleep you’re getting per night – if you’re getting less than seven hours then it could explain why you don’t feel like you have a clear and positive mindset. Likewise, if you are falling asleep without remembering because you are falling asleep in the evening at any time and in any place, this could mean that you are sleep deprived, and this also plays a massive part in how your mind feels.
