Activities For The Mind, Heart & Body

Your general health is the most important thing that you should be concentrating on. One small blip in your health can really bring you down and not just physically either. Sometimes though, the thought of ‘doing as we should’ by going to the gym and eating sticks of celery can become extremely monotonous, therefore causing us to slip up and head to bad habits in our lifestyle. However, there are activities that you could integrate into your life which will help your mind, heart, and bodywork towards the level of health that you should be at. Check out this fantastic list of not only health-boosting activities but fun ones too.

Treat yourself to a date night

Sometimes in the hecticness of life, we forget that it’s important to spend quality time together with your spouse. It’s all too easy for the spark to become lost, and even for the love, you have for each other to turn into resentment. Every now and then sack off everything else and head out on a date night so that you and your partner have the time to rekindle your love and catch up on missed time due to work, children and other responsibilities. Allowing yourself to feel loved and to love does wonders for the heart, body, and mind.

Challenge your mind

If you work a regular nine to five, it’s likely that some days you feel like you could cry because what you’re doing is so mind-numbing. It’s important to keep our minds active so that later on in life we have less chance of suffering badly from Alzheimer’s or Dementia. Be sure to regularly challenge your mind with various activities like an escape room. They allow you to either work alone or together in a group and face challenges that you wouldn’t otherwise come across. Keeping your mind sharp will also help your concentration levels at work and not only that, you’ll be having fun doing so!

Involve the kids

Finally, it’s understandable that you’re normally so focused on making sure that your children are ok, that you forget about your own health. Rather than neglecting yourself and to avoid feeling guilty about taking you time, why not involve the kids in your day to day regimes? Here are some ideas on things that the children could take part in:

 

  • Exercises such as swimming, long walks, and even a throw about in the park.

  • Getting them involved with preparing and cooking dinner. Kids love to help out and are more likely to eat something if they’ve helped create it. Allow everyone to choose their favourite veg and include it in your meals to make sure you’re getting the nutrients you need.

  • Downtime is important no matter whether you’re old, young, or middle aged and ready to pull your hair out. Allow your children to join you with downtime by doing activities such as meditation or simply watching TV.
