- a favorite buzzword especially after the difficult 2020. But what does it mean? To be means to be aware of the present moment, to notice what is going on around you.
Mindfulness is not something that happens solely when one is practicing – there are many ways in which you can create more awareness in your daily routine.
One way to counteract the auto-pilot daily mode is to bring your awareness to your breath.
Another way to practice mindfulness beyond the yoga studio is to notice how you are standing. Notice everything about your posture and in these moments, you'll begin to notice a shift in your breath, mind and focus. What’s more, a calmness will come over you.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬? 🤩

Mindfulness means to purposely pay close attention to what you are doing in the present moment. Mindfulness can be incorporated in almost every moment of our lives, and the results from making this shift can be life-changing.

When you have a , focus on the words that come out of your mouth. Pay attention to how the other person reacts, what he or she says back etc.
When you start to incorporate a way of being in your conversations with loved ones and with strangers, the level in which you are able to authentically communicate shifts dramatically.
In conclusion, mindfulness means to slow down, to focus on the “right here” and “right now”, to be aware of what you are doing and how you are doing it.

You might find yourself feeling low, in a silly argument or in another stressful situation you’d like to get out of. But how can you make things better? Well, it has been demonstrated that humans react almost instantly to the facial expressions they see – and by instantly we mean in just 30 milliseconds.
We instantly recognize and respond to another human’s emotional expressions, such as smiling, and research shows that these reactions are unconscious, meaning they’re deeply rooted in our brains as a biological response.
So, when you at someone, the other person can’t really help but smile back. Even if you can’t see this the other person mimicking your expression, it’s there.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐮𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐫 😁

Smiling also has a profound impact on our emotional experience, reducing stress-enhancing hormones and increasing the production of mood-enhancing hormones.
Thus, smiling more and frowning less are at lest 2 facial expression which we can control (when we’re not mimicking others’ expressions) and we can master them to improve our daily moods.
What’s more, if you smile while experiencing pain, the pain will be lessened. So, next time you rip off a particularly sticky band aid try to smile – it helps!
It’s been shown that even forcing a smile can reduce stress and make you prone to more positive feelings. Fake it ‘til you make it, right?
You can also change the for others around you by simply smiling – smile and everyone will naturally mirror your facial expression and smile back!
Smiling is contagious and a powerful tool to change our moods and the moods of those around us, so why not use it?

• Reduces stress - a cluttered home often causes anxiety and stress. While the act of cleaning can be therapeutic to some, the end result of a clean and organized home is considered satisfying by most of us.
• Increases focus & - decluttering and tidying up the home also declutters the brain. Many find it easier to focus at work with a clean desk, or easier to cook a nice dinner with a clean kitchen.
• Saves time & money - tidying up can also save you time (and money) looking for or replacing items lost in a messy or disorganized home.
• Increases happiness & improves mood - the end goal of tidying up is a home full of items that spark joy. A clean, well-organized can actually boost endorphins in the brain, increasing energy levels and making you feel and more content.
• Encourages a healthier lifestyle - cleaning your environment often leads to cleaning up other areas of your life as well: think diet, sleep habits or exercise.

Social media is such an inherent part of our lives, chances are, at the time you’re reading this, you’ve already looked at several forms of social media today. And that’s neither an innately “good” nor an innately “bad” thing, it’s just a new facet of our social lives we need to be aware of, particularly as it relates to mental .

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 & 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚

Social media provides lots of benefits: it helps us stay in touch with friends and family, offers a social connectivity that does contribute to positive health outcomes. Social media also puts news creation and distribution in the hands of “the people”. That’s why it has contributed to significant social movements by giving voice to topics and populations not typically well-represented in traditional media.
On the other hand, social also has its downsides in the forms of cyberbullying, unregulated spread of misinformation and fake news and others as such.
But, societal consequences of social media aside, it also has deeper, more personal consequences of which those of us active on social media should be personally aware of.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚

📱Know your purpose
Keep in mind why you are using social media so you can stay in tune with that purpose. If you’re using a social platform to stay connected with and family who are not near you, then use and enjoy it for that.
Being aware of your purpose (and when you’ve strayed from it) allows you to re-focus on what you actually want to get out of time on social platforms.

📱Curate your social media feeds
If you know your purpose, you can also better choose how you’d like to curate your social media feeds to fulfill that purpose. Knowing your purpose on each platform and curating your feeds accordingly can help to fulfill your purpose of being there and avoid the potentially toxic “noise”.

📱Unfollow
Sometimes, totally un-friending a person you don’t desire to remain in contact with makes sense. But, if you’d like to remain “friends”, simply unfollowing someone who posts offensive or triggering can help reduce the negative experience of engaging with it regularly.
However, diversity of thought is so you should stay exposed to a range of views and backgrounds so you can have a broader view on certain topics.

📱Comparison is the thief of joy
One of the ways social media is most known to contribute to reduced mental health is the comparison game. Always remember people use it to share their “best” times, happy moments, fun memories, etc. and don’t fall into the trap of thinking someone else has it all or their life is magnificent compared to ours.

📱Monitor your screen time
One of the biggest ways to make a difference in how impacts your mental health is to monitor your screen time (and set limits if needed). Both Facebook and Instagram allow you to set time limits for your screen time and they’ll remind you when you’ve reached it.

📱Take a social media break
Sometimes, a social media break is needed. That doesn’t have to mean completely deleting your account and never using social media again. Take a break to re-set your mind so you can pick up again with healthier, more intentional habits.

Everyone wants to have a beautiful, uncomplicated life, but we noticed that poor health often makes things ugly and far from simple.

We are a young team that is growing worried about people of all ages that have a very unhealthy general lifestyle, especially now, when a lot of us are staying much more at home due to the pandemic crisis. As we researched and experimented, we began to build our lifestyle around these principles: good nutrition, regular exercise, lots of water, self-control, fresh air and plenty of rest. That was it. We want to fight back all of the bad habits that may have a hold on you, by providing great content that will help you get to a more and more healthier and happier life. Our team will search everyday the best lifestyle articles(nutrition, fitness, latest trends on health topics) and post them here so you don’t have to spend more precious time.
