Simple Positive Thinking Exercises

1. Do a brain dump

A brain dump is incredibly beneficial when you feel like your mind is overflowing with concerns and ideas.

It's up to you now how you want to go about doing that; you may record your voice, write it down (which is how I like), or just chat to yourself in the mirror.

It's necessary to release everything and create a lighter mental state.

Many times I have written pages on pages with my worried scribbles and felt lighter. It’s a cathartic experience.

2. Do something you like

What activities do you find enjoyable? Maybe it's tending to your plants, going on a walk with your pets, watching The Office, drawing in your sketchbook, or anything else.

Allow yourself to do something you enjoy when you're feeling down. Allocate time for your interests. That was all we wanted to do when we were younger. Now, let's do that more.

3. Play board games

Playing board games and even video games have been shown to help in reducing stress and growing feelings of calmness and enthusiasm.

They're also a lot of fun and a wonderful way to spend quality time with friends and family.

4. Move your body (science)

There is evidence to support the advice that exercising helps improve our mood and mental health.

Exercise improves mental health by reducing anxiety, depression, and negative mood and by improving self-esteem and cognitive function.

It has been demonstrated that aerobic activities, such as jogging, swimming, cycling, walking, gardening, and dancing, can lower anxiety and sadness.

Take a stroll, jog, or ride your bike, enjoy the fresh air on your face, and allow it to lift your spirits.

5. Help somebody out

“The best antidote I know for worry is work. The best cure for weariness is the challenge of helping someone who is even more tired.

One of the great ironies of life is this: He or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served.”

Serving others brings me happiness. It takes off our focus from ourselves and directs it on empowering the lives around us.

We gain from having a certain level of selflessness, as it lessens our problems and allows us to help others.

6. Dive into nostalgia

Memories are powerful. The time that we once lived lives in our minds eternally.

Turning the pages of the old photo albums you have stored there is a terrific exercise.

You may find that the purity of that era and the delicacy of your memories help you feel better.

What is Pose Dedicated To Sage Koundinya A?

Pose Dedicated to Sage Koundinya A, or koundinyasana A (and sometimes eka pada koundinyasana I) in Sanskrit, is a challening arm balance and twisting pose. The practitioner uses core strength to balance on his hands, one leg twisting underneath the torso to the side and the other leg reaching straight back.

Instructions

• Begin squatting.

• Exhale and twist the torso to the left. Place the hands on the floor beside the left leg. Bend the elbows.

• Shift forward and rest the left thigh on the right upper arm. Stack the right leg above it.

• Inhale and reach the right leg back.

• Breathe while holding the pose.

• Inhale and bring the legs together. Exhale and lower them to the floor. Change sides.
