Not every day is easy, fun and productive, but with a little effort, it doesn't have to be a thoroughly miserable 24 hours. Some days are more stressful and difficult, but there are a few things you can do to mitigate them and promote both physical and mental health. Routine is key, as it's hard to remind ourselves to think about ourselves. Especially since most people find it easier to just step away and spend the time scrolling on a screen.

As children, we learn behavior through repetition. Many educators find that children respond well to a routine, as research shows that consistent, positive practices can reduce anxiety. Most people fall into some kind of pattern that isn't necessarily helpful or healthy. We can incorporate points throughout the day that put our bodies in positive vibes. Here's how to practice daily self-care.

Find one positive thing.

Find at least one positive thing each day that you appreciate. Whether it's a good cup of coffee, music in the shower, or a smile, you'll see that it has an almost immediate effect. Keep things varied so that your brain registers positive feedback throughout the day. It might even be that you allow yourself to laugh at one bad joke a day.

Go outside.

Fresh air and exercise are two things that help the body adapt. No matter what the weather is like, exercise is good for the brain. Not only does it cleanse the lungs, but it can lift your mood, lower your heart rate, increase energy levels, and even improve digestion. Take a few minutes each day for a short walk, it doesn't have to be a long one, around the block, from the back of the parking lot, or from one building to the next. The fresh air is good for you and the exercise helps your body recalibrate.

Find a mental haven of peace.

Meditation is one way to find peace, but it is not the only way. Meditation can be practiced any time you have some peace and quiet and the opportunity to close your eyes and breathe deeply for a few minutes.

You can also find your happy place in your mind by thinking about a favorite trip, a particular hobby or place, preparing a favorite dish, or planning your dream meal. The shower is the perfect place to do this. Take a few minutes where you can think about life alone, with no sounds other than the water.

You can also find some peace with a well-measured hit from a 12mm Clear Taster from Grav . Always pay attention to your cannabis tolerance.
