Tips For a Healthy
Mind
By Fiona Gordon

‘Positivity’ rules!
Try to stay open-minded and positive. Negative, rigid and
inflexible attitudes decrease your ability to deal with the
stresses of life and prevent you from enjoying yourself.
Get your zzz’s
Be sure to get an adequate amount of sleep each night.
Fatigue can interfere with the information you have already
stored and your ability to learn new things.
Beneficial B12
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to serious and irreversible
physiological and psychological problems. Get your intake
from foods of animal origin like meat, fish, eggs and dairy
products.
Stress-free solutions
To combat stress, go outside for a brisk walk instead of
smoking a cigarette. Reach for your running shoes instead of
the TV remote or a chocolate bar. Regular physical activity
(at least 30 minutes a day for most days of the week) and a
healthy, balanced, low-fat diet will not only make you feel
better but help you to better manage your stress.
Morning energy
Need a boost in the mornings? Time your coffeemaker so that
the aroma of coffee coincides with your alarm. Sing in the
shower. Use lotions with stimulating scents such as mint.
Plan at least one fun thing to do each day. Eat breakfast.
Listen to a radio station that makes you laugh – laughter is
one of the best energizers around!
