Mental Health

I also take care of my mental health Incorporated throughout the day, but especially in the morning, journaling, meditation, exercise, reading, and puzzles stimulate the brain while calming the mind. I maximize my exposure to sunshine and nature by exercising outside. At night, I try to limit screen exposure, dim the lights, and stick to a regular bedtime. My son often shares podcasts when he comes across topics he thinks I would enjoy. That is how I heard about James Clear's "Atomic Habits" and Arthur Brooks, a leading expert on the science of human happiness, purpose, and meaning. Both validate my practices with scientific data. Clear's recommendations that work for me are small incremental changes, building systems rather than goals, habit stacking, environment design, and habit tracking. Many of Brooks' scientifically proven recommendations of early rising, physical activity, meditation, high protein breakfast, vitamins, reading, and avoiding late dinners are all present in my routine as well. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/health/other/i-m-57-and-in-the-best-shape-of-my-life-my-morning-routine-is-the-key/ar-AA21ojpW?ocid=winp2fptaskbar&cvid=6a59c6d9780746d7b7ed2d86e4bcbe64&ei=15
