The following are tips taken from an interview with Coach Meg of Well Coaches (ACSM)
It is the same organization that I received my training as a Wellness Coach. It is a dynamic program, and I highly recommend working with a Wellness Coach to "ramp up" your own health and happiness. Questions? Please contact: susan@nutressante.net
1. Sweep your mind clean of frenzy by experimenting with 2-3 things together to elicit a calm, fun, spirited mindset. Then when long summer days come you'll have some new tricks to relax and savor the summer's treasures.
2. Calm your heart to calm your mind. Get more exercise (early morning walks?) and quality sleep to improve cognitive function. Put mind-calming habits in place so you get more done and fully enjoy your vacation this summer.
3. Catalog your major distractions, name them and put them in "mind" drawers, pulling them out when you choose rather than having them all open all of the time hijacking your productive time.
4. Bring your impulses into the sunlight. Schedule time to enjoy your impulses, what you really love to do on the beautiful spring days, so that your impulses don't interfere with high quality focus periods.
5. Improve your cognitive fitness. To improve your working memory and cognitive agility, read books, blogs, magazines and listen to radio/tv to consider and debate points of view that differ from your own.
6. Stretch your brain. Use some of your improved focus to challenge your brain and learn some new skills such as cooking new recipes with summer fare, experiment with a new sport or exercise activity, or a new hobby.
