Great tips for any time of year – thanks for sharing.

I notice if I journal and keep a mindfulness diary I feel more upbeat and in charge of things!

I’ve started movign about alot more due to the good weather. It has started to restore a healthy balance in me.

I’m going to be making a conscious effort to fulfill all of these EVERYDAY

These are some great suggestions. Thank you

Loving these suggestions, thanks for sharing them.

I love all of these. Once I’m over this hideous debilitating cold thing I’ve had for the past 2.5 weeks I might feel like being more mindful.

Love these tips. Journalling really helps me. I love writing down my thoughts as a way of clearing my head and getting things into perspective.

I’d love to be able to just go have a nap when I need it. Unfortunately it’s not possible.

Good point – it is possibly across the whole spectrum of the community.

  Oops posted the above comment to the wrong article.

i love writing things down, but then I find that I have so many notes etc that I get overwhelmed with my lists! – I need to recharge more often and I am loving some of these simple tips to achieve it. Thank you for the article

This might seem odd, but coffee actually relaxes me and whenever I start to feel stressed I have a coffee and I feel better.

I write things down too. I feel more in control of my life this way, without putting too much pressure on my mind trying to remember things that are not really important.

And I keep a diary of what’s happening in my daughter’s life. I write in there at least once a week. I started while I was pregnant. And I am still doing it now that my daughter is 15 years old.

I’m a firm believer in writing things down – having a stressful and unpredictable job means that there are always a million and one things going around in my head! Writing things down helps to expel some of those things leaving space in my mind to focus! I also try to take time out from external stimulates by having a 15 minute digital detox every day!

I like the journaling idea. It can be hard to wind down after a busy week.

I’m so in need of a few sunny days to recharge.

‘Me time’ is always a great way to relieve every day stress!

I take the time to enjoy and participate in all of my hobbies and activities and I take on new ones too. It just gives me so much energy and keeps me well rounded and well grounded.

I think taking the time to be mindful is really important for general well-being, and that many things stem from it. It reminds us to prioritise the more important things in life.

  I agree and mindfulness needs to be like brushing your teeth – regular!

I can’t wait for the good weather to arrive. Here in WA it’s still so wet and cold. With warm weather I want to go more outside, I drink more, I eat more fresh food with low calories and I am more motivated to take care of myself. What I also love is that at 5:30 a.m. there will be so much light, so waking up in the morning is much more enjoyable. The perfect way to start the day with the right attitude!
