Some Stuff I’m Thinking About

Here’s some stuff I’m currently thinking about…

These are just some of the things kicking around in my brain right now and I wanted to share them with you in case you find them interesting…

- Exercise more

Any form of movement establishes better blood flow to your brain. It can even slow memory loss, increase brain volume, and improve your mood.

Want to refresh your brain at work, stand up every 30 or 45 minutes. Get moving, often. So many of us are chained to our desks every day,” says nutrition and fitness author Louise Parker. Make it a habit and you will concentrate and focus better on what matters most at work.

Taking a brief walk daily and just being present (leave the phone at home — lol)

- Saying “I Can” Instead Of “I Can’t”

This is so stinking simple. When you say “I can’t,” you aren’t just saying “I can’t do X,” but you are also practicing the habit of saying “I can’t” to things. If instead you say “I can,” you are not only allowing yourself to do whatever it is that is in front of you currently, but you are practicing the act of saying “I can” to more of life.

Whichever path you practice more begins to dominate the majority of your decisions. Practice “I can.”

We oftentimes find out a great deal about a person when they are under intense scrutiny and stress. When negative emotions are amplified, true colors tend to surface. Make it a practice that consists of waiting a minimum of 5 seconds before acting on an emotion that encourages impulsivity. In other words, by allowing yourself the 5-second window to analyze the situation and notice what it is you are actually feeling, we can prevent ourselves from making irrational decisions.

Hopefully you enjoyed those thoughts…
