Five practical tips to help you stay fit and healthy. What is a resource state (definition).
A resource state is, in psychology, a state of a person in which he has enough physical, mental, emotional and any other strength to do something. In a broad sense, we are talking about a resource state for an active and productive life, maintaining efficiency.
Let's take a look at 5 elements that help maintain a resource state.
Planning the day and living according to the regimen
I like to live on schedule. This allows you to maintain activity at the same level, avoid mood swings, laziness, or, conversely, bring yourself to work to exhaustion. I also refer to planning as mastering and using techniques from time management and analyzing the past day.
Attention to your health
For example, recently I finally learned how to drink the right amount of water per day. The brain began to work better, the activity increased, the skin condition improved. And I have long taught myself to do a warm-up and carry out a full-fledged workout three times a week (when sedentary work at a computer, there is nowhere without it). In addition, I picked up the list of foods and diet that is right for me, and also completely stopped drinking alcohol. And, of course, I try to get enough sleep: I get up at 5-6, go to bed at 21-22, for me this particular regime is optimal.
I think you understand what it means to monitor your health - you don't have to continue. Determine and you your optimal lifestyle.
Finding an outlet
Each person should have something that brings him pleasure, that is, a hobby, passion. It doesn't matter how you do what you do. The main thing is that you like it. I get strength from playing the synthesizer, and I relax through drawing, working with the dough. Even watching your favorite TV show can be that very outlet. Or a warm bath with a face and hair mask. Why not?
Self-development
This is especially important in those moments when you realize that you do not have enough tools, resources to do something or solve a life problem. My development all the time rests on books on psychology, lectures or films of the same direction. But at the same time, I enjoy learning and trying new things from other areas. And what do you like?
Improving the environment and fighting your cockroaches
Thought I was going to miss this? No. Of course, it is important to strive for the complete exclusion from life of the one and those who spoil the mood, suck energy, steal time, load with their problems or try to drag them into toxic games. It is especially important to fight this if the one who is trying to “harm” and “drag” is yourself.
In conclusion, I want to say something else important. Yes, the article is called "How to Always Stay in a Resource State", but you shouldn't take it literally. Allow yourself to sometimes be out of the resource, relax, grieve or show other negative emotions, just lie there and do nothing. Like other items on the list, it helps to maintain and restore mental balance.
