Sometimes staying positive and upbeat gets difficult and there are days it can feel downright impossible. That’s when you turn to inspiration. You can boost your seratonin, your mood, and your energy by feeding your brain and your environment with things that make you feel good. Maybe for you it is:
- Talking with good friends
- A long, bubble bath
- Going for a hike, or
- Reading a good book
Three things that are scientifically proven to help our state of being are:
-
Getting out into nature; especially long walks with your gaze far in the distance.
-
Hugs and human contact.
-
Reading or listening to inspiring books or talks.
The latter can be found in your bookstore, on podcasts, or books on tape, as well as recordings of great seminars. Find a few favorites to use over and over again, as well as look for new information. Repition can ingrain the important ideas into your way of thinking that a fast, once-over reading can never do. And let’s face it, all of us have plenty of negative self-talk rattling around in our brain that can use replacing.
This fall the Texas Women’s Conference was again a powerhouse of ideas and inspiration. All the sessions are available by podcast, and there are still some free trainings that some of the speakers are providing.
Have fun listening to these and exploring the things that inspire you.
