Your healthy mind clinic- 6 quick tips for a healthy mind during these stressing times

A healthy mind is the reason for better concentration, peace and innovative thinking. It is therefore important that you keep your mind healthy and peaceful right from the start of the day and even during the day. Here are a few tips that I suggest you to try or in other words, "the things to like":-

1.    Exercise- The best means of building confidence and feeling good about your body and mind is by doing exercise. It could either be by lifting weights in gym, stretching body parts through yoga, running or jogging or by doing any other form of exercise. It not only refreshes your mind but also gives your body a better shape because of which clothes fit in better and you feel great. A healthy body houses a healthy mind

2.  Reading- Reading newspaper and magazines to keep yourself updated of the current affairs is a good means of refreshing your mind and obtaining knowledge of day-to-day events happening around you. If you are a person who is into books for the most of your time and love the company of books rather than doing other things, you can try other books of quality literature.

3.  Meeting relatives and friends- If you are a social animal who loves to meet people and socialize, you can keep meeting your family members and friends occasionally or during weekends (through virtual means like Whatsapp, Zoom conferencing till the deadly virus is gone) to keep abreast of what’s happening in the life of the people that matter you.  Doing this will not only make you feel fresh mentally but will also help you to make new connections and build a stronger network of friends.

4.  Listening to songs- This one is my personal favorite and would like to strongly recommend! Try listening to good, melodious tracks on radio or TV, over the internet (YouTube) or music apps on phone (Spotify, Gaana, hungama, etc) whenever you feel stressed out and need to get refreshed. 

5.  Writing- Writing improves concentration and is a good source of recreation. It’s a good means of making yourself knowledgeable as writing involves reading many things to understand a topic. You can create your own blog and develop a habit of writing in it regularly. 

6. Do things you like doing- The above 5 points are the most common ways and means of making your mind fresh but certainly not an exhausted list. You can do whatever you are like doing as a hobby or something that adds value to you. It could either be gardening, caring for your pets, surfing the net, watching movies and so on but do take out time out of your busy schedule to do some quality exercise for your mind and soul.
