]]> In a world where work-life balance is often lacking, hobbies tend to take a back seat to more practical activities, even viewed by some as a waste of time. The whole point of a hobby, however, is that it is done purely for enjoyment, regardless of whether it will amount to anything productive. Ironically, practicing a hobby with this mentality can greatly improve mental health and wellbeing. If picking up a hobby sounds appealing to you, read on for some ideas to try.

Fluid Painting

Fluid painting involves pouring paint onto canvas in layers and moving it around to create abstract designs. Beyond serving as an excellent creative outlet, it can also have a therapeutic effect on mental health. The slow, mindful movements and gentle sensory stimulation associated with the practice have been shown to reduce stress and promote relaxation.

Tai Chi

For those seeking a slightly more physical practice, the art of tai chi offers a unique blend of gentle movement and meditative focus. Rooted in ancient Chinese tradition, it promotes balance, flexibility, and mental clarity through a series of postures and controlled breathing. It’s also low-impact enough to be accessible to all fitness levels and easy to incorporate into most daily routines.

Herbalism

While perhaps a bit unusual, herbalism can be a rewarding and educational wellness hobby for anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors. Start by reading some basic books on the subject to familiarize yourself with the medicinal properties of plants, then create your own garden where you can cultivate the flowers and herbs that you feel drawn to. You’ll be able to reap all of the benefits of connecting with nature as you foster a sense of holistic well-being and self-sufficiency.

]]> Yoga is an amazing practice for our strength, flexibility, and mental well-being. But have you ever tried blindfolded yoga? Removing sight from your yoga session can bring new and unexpected benefits and it’s something every keen yogi should try.

Before you try this at home, try attending a blindfold yoga class. Your teacher will choose a sequence of movements especially suited to doing this kind of yoga, so you can practice safely and avoid injury.

Improve Your Concentration

Doing yoga blindfolded removes all other distractions so you can really focus on your movements and your breath. If you feel your mind drifting in regular yoga, try a blindfolded class and you’ll really feel the difference.

Improve Your Proprioception

Proprioception is your body’s way of sensing location, movement, and action. Blindfold yoga is a great way to improve your proprioception system and heighten senses other than sight.

Connect to Your Body

Blindfold yoga can help deepen your practice and enable you to connect to your body on a new level. By feeling your way through the asanas, you can improve your awareness, focus, and self-acceptance.

Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

It can be easy in a yoga class to watch the other participants and compare your body and your abilities. This can often lead to negative thoughts and disrupt the flow of your practice. By wearing a blindfold, you can focus only on yourself and not worry about how others are doing.

]]> If you’ve ever found yourself in the middle of a particularly stressful moment and felt like the only thing that would make you feel better was a hug, weighted blankets may be just the thing for you. While nothing could ever replace the feeling of being held by someone you love, weighted blankets can help to regulate your nervous system so that you feel calmer in times of stress. Using materials such as organic cotton and glass beads, weighted blankets provide gentle pressure that creates a sense of security and support. Read on for more details about the benefits they bring.

Improved Sleep

Weighted blankets provide a sensation known as deep touch pressure, a firm yet gentle pressure that has been proven to promote feelings of calmness and relaxation. The pressure stimulates the brain to release serotonin, which is then converted into the sleep hormone melatonin.

Reduced Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is responsible for several functions including our ability to focus and maintain stable moods. By stimulating the release of serotonin, weighted blankets can also help to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression like physical discomfort and restlessness.

Sensory Input

The feeling of a weighted blanket can be especially beneficial to people with certain disorders that affect sensory processing. Increased sensory input can promote a sense of calm that allows for greater focus and reduced hyperactivity.

]]> It takes a lot of time and effort to get healthy. Depending on your starting point, it may take you months or even years to reach the desired physical and mental shape. In order to stay motivated throughout the process, here are three ways to feel better every day.

Smile a Lot

Smiling can trick your brain into feeling happier and less stressed. You may be faking it at first, but you’ll notice that you’re feeling better after a few minutes. Smiling causes positive emotions that lead to a healthier life.

Micro-Exercise

If you’ve been inactive lately because you can’t seem to find the time to exercise, you can definitely implement some micro-exercises into your life! We’re designed to move around and if you take every little chance to get just a bit more active, it will quickly add up.

Eat Dark Chocolate

Chocolate with a high cocoa percentage is great for your overall health and it can improve your mood. It’s an easy treat that has actual health benefits like lowering cortisol levels. Dark chocolate is also a great choice for when you need to do mentally difficult work. There’s really no reason not to include it in your daily life.

]]> In order to cure or at least lower the symptoms of being chronically tired, it’s important to make healthy choices and create habits that will serve you well. Healthy eating, physical activity, regular sleep, they are all important in getting your life together and putting an end on that constant tiredness.

These are 3 symptoms you shouldn’t ignore (and of course, ask your doctor about it).

You Can’t Sleep

Even though you’re exhausted, you have troubles falling asleep or keep waking up during the night. This is the sign that your brain is too tired to even sleep properly.

You’re Having Troubles Focusing

If you’ve been forgetful lately or find it hard to focus on a specific task, this can be a clear sign of chronic tiredness.

Zamierzam spędzić ten czas w domu, porządnie wysprzątać i porobić jakieś nowe zdjęcia. Generalnie pocieszyć się swoim mieszkaniem❤. Jestem ciekawa kiedy zaczynacie ozdabiać świątecznie w swoich domach?

Your Whole Body Hurts

Headache, muscle ache, and even sore throat can all be symptoms of tiredness, especially if you feel them all at once. 

If you experience these symptoms, make sure you find some time to rest. Nothing is as important as you staying healthy and these are just the first warning signs that something serious is going on. Don’t wait for the next stage as it may be far more difficult to deal with.
