Health tips to stay consistent through tough times
Stay positive
Okay, this might sound cliché but it helps. Negative thoughts will only make rough times worse. Although bad thoughts do come with tough times, try to be positive.
You can try saying positive things to yourself.
Such as:
- Things will get better
- I will overcome
- Help will come
- I can get through this
- I’m stronger than this problem
You’re not deluding yourself.
- Instead, you’re keeping a healthy mind through it all.
Keep showing up
Keep doing what you can, even if things don’t look good yet.
For example:
- If it looks like all the effort you’re making to lose weight isn’t working, it can make it harder to keep going.
And feel like you’re trying to fill a basket with water.
That feeling sucks, but don’t give up.
Things will start to change soon. But if you stop, you’ll never know.
Take some time to rest
Dealing with tough times still requires energy.
You need energy to be able to scale through.
So make sure you get enough sleep, take breaks, and relax.
Eat good food
You need to eat healthy meals that will fuel you up.
Not foods or snacks that won’t offer any nutrients.
When you go through tough times, good and healthy, can you stay strong?
Eat foods that’ll boost your immune system, like
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Oranges
- Ginger
- Garlic
- Green vegetables
Avoid eating too much of these foods:
- Cookies
- Doughnuts
- Fried foods
And taking sugary drinks or beverages.
Foods like this make you gain too much weight, cause they’re high in calories.
So, you might end up taking in more calories than you burn.
Move your body every day
A short walk, stretching, or doing a few minutes of yoga can help you during tough times.
Go offline
Take some time off social media a little.
Seeing people live their “best lives” might not help you. It can lead to all sorts of things like:
- Comparison
- Getting more stressed
- And depression
Therapy
Consider getting some professional help, such as seeing a therapist.
- But if you can’t afford to, you can still get some help for free.
Like watching videos online and following certain creators that talk about mental health, and being better.
- It’ll feel like free therapy.
