5 Simple Daily Practices for Wellbeing

Posted by pbradley1954 @pbradley1954, 8 hours ago

I found this to be a nice easy practice to try. I would add to it things you are grateful for...
To summarize--
Posture--stand with shoulders back
Breath—4 seconds in; 6 seconds out
Smile--Force yourself.
Movement--This is the big one for me. Play tennis or do something you enjoy...preferably outside with people
Sunlight--first thing in the morning

@pbradley1954, nice. These daily practices can make a big difference in wellbeing. Here's a companion discussion to build on your idea of adding a 6th practice of gratitude:
- Gratitude: Today, I'm grateful for... https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/gratitude-today-im-grateful-for/

Sometimes, some days, even simple practices can be hard to do. Making a daily practice truly daily and giving yourself grace when you have an off day can also help. What tips do you offer for being consistent and getting the benefits?
