MIND 24-7’s Post

Hey there! Stop what you're doing and check out this incredible video. It's all about changing your perspective and how it can seriously impact your life. We all know the importance of taking care of others, but do you know what's just as important? Taking care of yourself! When we prioritize our own needs, we become better equipped to support those around us. It's not about neglecting our responsibilities, but finding that sweet spot between taking care of others and taking care of ourselves. We all deserve some well-earned 'me time.' Let's make room for relaxation, self-reflection, and rejuvenation. Because when we take care of ourselves, we bring our A-game to everything we do. 🙌✨ #changeperspective #impactlife

Have you taken a Bubble day? This morning at the gym Martin Irvine shared a concept that resonated with me—something he called a “Bubble Day.” It’s a day away, a pause from the hustle, where he disconnects from phones and social media to rest, relax, and reflect. A walk on the beach, lunch and possibly a swim! Can be anything that helps you switch off. I’m intrigued by this idea and curious to know if anyone else has heard of it or practices it. Imagine incorporating this intentional time-out into our calendars—perhaps once a month or once a quarter. A day dedicated to self-care, mental rejuvenation, and reflection. What do you think about the idea of “Bubble Days”? Have you tried it, or is it something you’d consider? Is it important to carve out intentional moments for ourselves in the midst of our busy lives. #BubbleDays #Mindfulness #WellBeing #ReflectAndRecharge

There’s one thing we often forget when filling our calendars .. In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the demands of work, family, and social obligations. However, it’s crucial that we leave room for ourselves every day. Taking time for self-care isn’t selfish; it’s essential for our well-being. When we carve out time for ourselves, we recharge our minds and bodies. This helps us manage stress better, improve our focus, and enhance our overall happiness. Whether it’s a quiet morning coffee, a walk in the park, or a few minutes of meditation, these moments allow us to reconnect with our inner selves. By prioritizing our own needs, we become more resilient and capable of supporting those around us. It’s not about neglecting our responsibilities but about balancing them with our own needs. When we take care of ourselves, we are better equipped to take care of others. Let’s remember to give ourselves the gift of time. Let’s make space for relaxation, reflection, and rejuvenation. After all, when we nurture ourselves, we bring our best selves to everything we do. #healthjourney #mindbodybalance #balancedlife #mindfulness #wellbeing #mentalhealth #recharge

Happy Wednesday Everyone! ☀️ I read this the other day and it was a great reminder to make sure and check in on each other!😊 I always try to listen to that little voice inside when people come to mind…it’s a “simple” thing to send a text but, you have no idea how much it means to people in that moment. 💚🫂 #wellnesswednesday #relationships #friendsandfamily #mindfulness “Creating a regular habit of enquiring about someone's wellbeing enables you to establish proactive and preventative measures. Once normalised, the act of checking in will come to be extended into your social network and will enable you to pick up on signs of a struggle early. There are huge benefits to checking in with others! Checking in at the right time can really help people to overcome challenges. Check ins allow you to connect with others and can strengthen relationships over time. Checking in can help you to open up and become more articulate about your life. How do you check in on someone without being annoying? Instead of asking, “How are you holding up?” Say, “Thinking of you and hoping you're doing OK. No need to reply.” And don't expect to receive a prompt response in return. Taking away the burden of having to respond can relieve some pressure for your friend. Then, when they are ready, they can text you back.”

”Time goes fast” ...they said when I was a little girl. Be mindful about your time. I used to sit on these chairs with my grandfather after sauna at the summer cottage in the 1970s -80s. Probably asking a lot of questions already then about why things are the way they are. Talking to my childhood friend this weekend, remembering what we used to do and games we used to play when we were children. ”But that was 40 years ago”, said her teenager. Indeed, we’ll turn 50 next year. Where did all these years go? So fast? Have I been mindful? Yes and no. I have lived my life on my own terms, the way I wanted as the ”I do it my way” Aquarius I am. I have been too loyal, too empathetic and too understanding though. Stayed in toxic environments surrounded by toxic people for way too long. It will not happen again. My advice to my younger self, and my advice to everyone, would be to set very tight boundaries, hold on to your values and get out as soon as you recognize toxic, disrespectful behaviour. It will not change for the better, trust me. Walk away, cut the strings, go no contact if needed. This goes for both private life and workplace. Do not violate your values and beliefs. Save yourself from a battle you can't win. Life is short after all, time goes fast just like they said it would. Your health, wellbeing and happiness is top priority. Act accordingly, make every minute count. Spend time with the people who really matter and appreciate you. What would be your advice to your younger self? #mindfulness #boundaries #walkaway #nocontact #wellbeing #happiness #narcisisticabusehealing

Instead of asking yourself if you are feeling happy – expand you emotional vocabulary to satisfied, enjoyment, calm, peaceful, relaxed, and content. These feelings contain much more information than happy – happy is a fleeting feeling based on what’s happening to you. #emotionalintelligence #mentalhealthmatters #wellbeing #emotionalawareness #calmmind

Have you ever noticed how sometimes we need to be shaken to stand up again? Life has a way of throwing unexpected challenges our way, but these moments often serve as powerful reminders to prioritize our health and wellbeing. It's during these times of upheaval that we discover our true strength and resilience. When faced with setbacks, whether physical, mental, or emotional, we must remember that these experiences can be catalysts for growth. They push us to re-evaluate our habits, seek better balance, and make healthier choices. Let's embrace these moments as opportunities to stand taller and stronger. By focusing on our wellbeing and supporting each other through the ups and downs, we can emerge more determined and resilient than ever before.🤍🍃 #holistichealth #wellbeing #selfcare #mindfulness #healthyliving #personalgrowth #mindbodybalance
