Many times in your life, things may not go right. You may think it’s completely the opposite of right actually. I’m going to tell you how to keep an open mind and how it can affect your life.
For me, growing up, wasn’t always great. There were many times where I wished it were different and if I dwelled on the negative, I’m not sure where I would be today. Because I didn’t let all the bad in and just let a thought or an experience come in and float out, kind of like a cloud, I have a different outcome than I could have. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve worked HARD to get through all the negativity and the issues that were given to me by my parents and ancestors through their beliefs and stories. I always knew it wasn’t for me though and that I was meant for more.
It’s just a matter of keeping your mind and eye on the prize and where you want to go.
How to Keep An Open Mind
If someone from White County, Indiana, who graduated with 48 people whom she had classes with since 4th grade, can keep an open mind and be open to new ideas and experiences, and change her entire life, you certainly can too!
I will be honest though, it wasn’t until I was in my early 20’s that I really worked on being more open-minded and listening to other people’s experiences, lifestyles, and journeys. Before that, I was more close minded and under the influence of family and their pre-existing beliefs.
When I went off to college was when a whole new world was introduced to me, much like many young people getting out of the house for the first time. It was a time where I could really decide how I wanted things, you know? For the first time, I was in charge of who I could actually be and change my destiny.
Here are a few things that really moved the needle to get on my path of where I am today:
– Embrace New Perspectives by engaging with other open-minded people
– Listen more and talk less
– Practice Mindfulness in all areas of my life
– Encouraging Honesty and really honest conversations with myself
– Recognizing and stopping judgmental thoughts not just about others, but also about myself
– Practicing Empathy
– Stay open to meet new people who can help move the needle forward for you
– Questioning my own Assumptions and the willingness to have my own ideas challenged
– Not being okay with Status Quo – always questioning and trying to make life easier
– Learning about different lifestyles and journeys and fully embracing them myself
– Volunteering and donating to causes that I’m not familiar with
Now let’s break each of these down a bit further to understand them
– Embrace New Perspectives
Growing up, things were very closed minded. When my brother came out, I was in 7th grade and my parents kicked him out of the house and we didn’t talk about that experience. When I was a senior in high school, my little sister who was 16 at the time, a year younger than me, told my parents she was pregnant. We didn’t talk about that either. Things like this could have caused me to form opinions that were negative and judge others around me. I instead chose to keep an open mind and be more open to new ideas and perspectives that weren’t afforded me growing up. I’d say this really helps successful people get where they are, in whatever shape, form, or belief they have of success.
– Listen More and Talk Less
This one, I’m honestly still working on daily. With the girls, it’s a lesson I hope to teach them early on. For me, this lesson started when my nephew passed at 2 1/2 years old by drowning in a swimming pool. I wanted to remember all the special moments and what his voice sounded like, and his laugh. But because I was too busy trying to teach him how to sit at a restaurant and eat, or how to color properly, I don’t remember. Now, I am mindful of my words and thoughts and protect those precious times where learning and growth and memories happen. When we close our mouths and open our minds to what others are saying and doing, we are able to gain experience and knowledge from them as well.
– Practicing Mindfulness in All Areas of My Life
I have an addictive personality. So for me, I have to be mindful of that always. If I don’t pay attention, then I find myself shopping for absolutely no reason at all. Or I find myself running my tank on empty both my body and my car, because I will just rush to say yes to everyone. Or stretch myself too thin and not have enough time to do everything I need to do. As a parent, I believe this is also one of my lessons in life. And to teach our girls. Some days, it’s harder than others. Other days, it’s really easy.
– Encouraging Honesty and really honest conversations with myself
Another one that I had to learn through relationships after moving out of my parents house at 18. I was really good at telling myself all the things I was doing wrong. Or ways that I would never succeed. What I wasn’t good at was actually digging into the why behind those things. Like the root of them. Not just the surface view. I had to learn how to read my own BS meter and learn when to call it out.
Once I learned how to do that, I learned how to change the conversation in my head FIRST and then of those around me. I stopped accepting less than my worth and good. I dropped relationships and people who no longer fit into the better ideals and morals I held for myself. Also, I gave myself and my future a different point of view. I started doing personal development and gave myself the ability to live my life out of my comfort zone. Out of the negativity and it became a lot easier.
– Recognizing and stopping judgmental thoughts not just about others, but also about myself
Once I had honest conversations and people who fitting for my life, I stopped being so judgmental about others and myself. When you uplevel in one area of your life, you have to broaden your horizons and do the same in other areas. If you are a positive person, people judging and bringing negativity in your life will become less and less appealing. If you want to keep them in your life you can stop them when they say things or give looks that you don’t agree with. Or you can just live your life and move on.
Sometimes, the latter is easier and I promise, you don’t need to be afraid to share information. And if they don’t get it, tell them bye! Once they are gone and away, it’s much easier to embrace new ideas with a fresh perspective and less self-doubt. Always stay open to the idea that people and situations may be temporary in your life, not permanent.
– Practicing Empathy
I started learning this one the hard way in 7th grade when one of the rich kids made fun of my pants being too short. They were the only pants I was able to buy with my own money that year, and I wore them 2 times a week up until that point. This kid had zero knowledge of my home life or where I came from, just that he thought it was funny to make fun of my ‘high waters’ and point it out to everyone else in our class. That moment taught me to look at things differently, and to give empathy to others. I still do the same today because chances are, I’ve probably been in the same or very similar shoes.
Now, especially, it’s important to be open to new ideas and people who don’t look like or walk like or come from the same place as you.
– Questioning my own Assumptions
Right along with the last one, I think the saying, “Never judge a book by it’s cover,” fits well. This one I believe we work on our entire lives. When presented with new people, a new opportunity, a new struggle, etc. we must question the thoughts that are occurring in our mind and question why or where they are coming from. Was it a preconceived notion? Was it some believe given to you in childhood? Maybe you have no idea where or why it’s in your mind? All of this is ok to happen. What’s important is we are questioning and not automatically moving on to full conviction. Open mindedness is such an important virtue to have when assuming ideas and thoughts.
– Learning about different lifestyles and journeys and fully embracing them myself
Growing up, there was either meat and potatoes or nothing (and sometimes I chose nothing) and farm life. While those things did shape me in a lot of ways into who I am today, there wasn’t much opportunity to see what else there was. While I enjoy running and cardio to this day, I had no idea what yoga, mindful meditation. Heck, even what golf was until I got out on my own. It wasn’t until I went to Ball State my freshman year did I learn about being vegan. Or that I actually was a sort of vegetarian most of my life.
I learned that it’s ok to try new lifestyles and mix them into what I was already doing. I have kept that up most of my adult life and often people ask me where I learned something and I usually can’t remember because I’m always researching and learning about different lifestyles and implementing in my own life.
– Volunteering and donating to causes that I’m not familiar with
Every place I’ve volunteered with or donate to I had no knowledge of before making the donation or giving my time. This allows me to go in unbiased and truly listen and form my own opinion of the organization on my own terms. I have so many wonderful experiences and memories from choosing to spend my time and resources this way. It opens you up to ask lots of questions that you wouldn’t normally ask if you were previously familiar. When searching out opportunities to volunteer and donate to it’s a great practice to becoming a more open minded person.
Being open minded involves a great deal of getting out of your comfort zone and just really embracing what the organization is about.
My hope is after reading this, you have a few new ideas to help move not only your life better, but those around you. I also hope that if you don’t have the life you want, some of these steps will help you gain the courage to stand up for yourself and change.. There are so many benefits of being open-minded. that it’s well worth the challenge.
Change is one of the hardest things we do as humans, but it’s also one of the best things. Let’s embrace it with an open mind.
Are you looking for ways to improve your mental health this new year? You’re not alone. Taking care of our minds is just as important as taking care of our bodies, yet it’s often something we put off until something triggers a reminder to recenter ourselves and make sure we are doing the work needed to keep up with our mental well-being.
When we experience stress, it can be difficult to remain mindful and make healthy choices that prioritize our mental health. We may find ourselves reverting to behaviors we know are detrimental to our overall well being but feel like they offer a sense of relief in the moment. However, these unhealthy habits can have long-term consequences on our mental and physical health.
The good news is that there are some basic habits we can easily integrate into our daily lives that will help foster better overall mental health and boost feelings of happiness, joy and contentment. Start 2024 off right by reading on for 13 Habits For Better Mental Health!
13 Habits For Better Mental Health
1. Prioritize Sleep – Getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep is essential for mental health and well-being
It’s incredible to think that we spend about a third of our lives asleep, isn’t it? But there’s a good reason for it! When you prioritize getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep every night, you can guarantee you will have better mental health. Sleeping is like pressing the “reset” button for our brains; it allows us the chance to recharge and prepare for whatever the next day brings. Plus, getting enough sleep can greatly influence our mood, memory, and decision-making skills. So, let’s start treating sleep as the essential pillar of wellness that it really is, rather than just an afterthought. After all, ensuring that we allow ourselves sufficient rest is one of the best ways to show love to our minds and bodies.
2. Unplug from Technology – Take regular breaks from your devices to reduce stress and anxiety
Isn’t it amazing how technology has transformed our lives in so many ways? But despite all the convenience it provides, constant attachment to these devices can often leave us feeling stressed and anxious. Taking regular breaks from technology is an excellent way to reduce these negative emotions and reclaim your peace of mind. Unplugging, even for just a few minutes, allows your mind to reset and your brain to recharge. It’s not only helpful for your mental wellbeing, but also for your relationships and overall productivity. So, the next time you feel overwhelmed, simply switch off your devices and see how much of a difference it makes. After all, taking a moment to breathe and reconnect with the world around us is a powerful remedy for our increasingly digital lives.
3. Practice Mindfulness – Spend time in the moment to enjoy the simple things in life
It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of our fast-paced world, isn’t it? Constantly worrying about the future, dwelling on the past, and caught up in the chaos that surrounds us. But what if we take a moment to just stop, breathe, and truly appreciate the present? Practicing mindfulness allows us to do just that. When we tune into our senses and focus on our surroundings, we start to notice the beauty in those simple things that often go unnoticed – the warmth of the sun on our face, the blissful taste of that first morning sip of coffee, or the laughter shared with a good friend.
By spending time in the moment, we not only find a new sense of appreciation for the world around us, but we also nurture our mental well-being, reduce stress, and cultivate inner peace. So, let’s give ourselves permission to slow down and relish in the simple joys that each day has to offer!
4. Exercise Regularly – Staying active can help boost endorphins, self-esteem and overall feelings of wellness
You know, I was just thinking the other day about how important it is to exercise regularly. When we stay active, it does a world of good for our mind and body. For starters, it gives our endorphin levels a real boost, and who doesn’t love that feel-good sensation after a rewarding workout? But that’s not all! Sticking to a consistent exercise routine also works wonders for our self-esteem – there’s just something about conquering a challenging workout that leaves us feeling on top of the world. And let’s not forget the overall sense of wellness it brings! It’s as if regular exercise keeps our mental and physical health engines running smoothly, helping us navigate through the ups and downs of life. So, if you haven’t already, give regular exercise a shot – your body and mind will thank you for it!
5. Get Social Support – Surround yourself with positive people who are understanding and nonjudgmental
It’s important to have a strong support system in our lives, as it can make a world of difference in our overall well-being. Surrounding yourself with positive, understanding, and nonjudgmental people can uplift your spirits and give you the motivation you need to overcome any obstacle. These supportive individuals not only offer a listening ear and a shoulder to lean on, but also valuable advice and guidance that comes from a place of empathy and care. They help us navigate through the ups and downs of life, keeping us grounded and focused on our goals, while providing encouragement and reassurance in difficult times. So next time you are feeling overwhelmed or stressed, remember to turn to your support network, because embracing the power of positive social support can truly transform your life.
6. Eat Healthy – Proper nutrition is key for cognitive function and emotional stability
It’s fascinating to think about how the food we eat can significantly influence our brain’s performance and emotional wellbeing. Eating healthy not only helps us maintain an ideal weight but plays a crucial role in enhancing our cognitive function and emotional stability. Nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals found in a well-balanced diet act as fuel for our brain cells, helping us to think more clearly, make better decisions, and reduce the risk of cognitive decline in later years. Moreover, healthy eating can also reduce mood swings and anxiety, leading to a more emotionally balanced life. So, the next time you’re craving for a snack, remember that choosing the healthier option might just give your brain and emotions a much-needed boost!
7. Stay Hydrated
Proper hydration is essential for all bodily functions. We often hear the phrase “hydrate or die!”, but what exactly does it mean? Well, proper hydration is essential for all bodily functions. The human body needs fluids to regulate its temperature and other biological processes such as digestion, circulation, absorption of nutrients and elimination of waste. Without adequate hydration, our body can’t function at its best, leading to fatigue, headaches, and even mood swings. To stay in tip-top shape, make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day – your body will thank you for it!
8. Taking a Few Minutes to Meditate
Taking a few minutes to meditate can have an incredibly positive effect on our mental and physical health. By tuning into our breath and simply observing our thoughts, we can easily reduce stress levels, improve concentration, and increase resilience. Meditation helps us become more aware of our emotions, enabling us to take back control of them instead of letting them take over. In turn, this allows us to better handle difficult situations and remain calm under pressure.
9. Turn off Electronics an Hour Before Bed
Research has shown that exposure to artificial light from TVs, phones, and computer screens can interfere with our circadian rhythms – the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle. This disruption can lead to difficulty falling asleep and poor quality of sleep. To ensure restful nights and energized days, try to turn off all electronics at least an hour before bedtime and opt for a relaxing activity like reading, listening to calming music, or taking a warm bath.
10. Prioritizing Self Care
At the end of the day, taking time to care for ourselves is one of the most important things we can do to improve our lives. Self-care helps us relax and unwind after a long day and recharge our batteries so that we’re ready to tackle whatever comes next. It doesn’t have to be an extravagant gesture – even small things like taking a few minutes to read a book, going for a walk, or spending time with friends can make a world of difference.
11. Practicing Good Posture
Good posture isn’t just about looking good – it can also improve our overall health, both physical and mental. Poor posture can lead to poor circulation, aches, pains, and fatigue. It can even affect our mood by causing us to feel sluggish and unmotivated. On the other hand, practicing good posture helps us become more efficient with our energy, allowing us to be more productive and alert throughout the day. So make sure to take a few moments during your day to check if your posture is correct and adjust as needed.
12. Doing Activities that you Enjoy
We all need some form of leisure in our lives to stay balanced, and that can mean something different for everyone. Maybe you enjoy walking your dog or playing a game with friends – whatever it is, make sure to set aside time every week to do something that brings you joy. Taking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and doing something that you love can help relieve stress, boost your energy levels, and make life more enjoyable overall.
13. Picking up a New Hobby
We all have our favorite hobbies, but sometimes it can be beneficial to challenge ourselves with something new. Picking up a new hobby not only keeps us entertained and engaged, but also helps us develop new skills that we can use in other areas of our lives. So why not give it a try? Who knows – maybe you’ll discover a hidden talent or passion?
Making sure to practice good mental health habits is so important for living a healthy and happy life. Although it can be difficult at times, taking the time to prioritize sleep, unplug from technology, practice mindfulness, exercise regularly, get social support and healthy eating habits are all steps you can take towards better mental health in the long run. And remember: you don’t have to do it perfectly; even just making small changes are helpful! So take charge of your mental wellness today and start building new habits towards a more balanced and fulfilled life.
I don’t need to tell you that the world is facing both a lot of collective and personal adversity right now, but I do want to share with you a few tips on how to stay positive even in the face of adversity.
Many of us have taken on additional roles, including our own learning to educate those around us and those we are responsible for raising. It seems as though we may never get a break, or see the light at the end of the tunnel.
It’s been a challenging start to 2020 and I have seen a saying floating around saying that it’s going to be one for the history books. It certainly seems that way. And for those of us really wanting to make a difference, it’s sometimes difficult to find our way out of the negative tunnel we get into when we dive deep into the situations at hand. But we must, at all costs, try to avoid negative thoughts and create a positive environment.
Here are a few of my tried and true ways on How to Stay Positive Despite Adversity
Movement always helps me, either indoors or outdoors. This is always something to lift my spirits.
Taking a nap or resting when you need it.
Getting outside for a walk or enjoying the sun.
Taking a drive with the windows down and the music up and/or just listening to nature.
Dance parties with or without other people.
Visualizing how you will feel once you have completed your goal
Journal about your feelings, or what you are going through, especially when you’re experiencing difficult times.
Write about or say aloud the good things that happened to you that day/week/month
Phone a friend or family member who you can chat with but also who can help console you if needed
Lean on self care more and make it a priority
Try learning something new either something you’ve been wanting to do or something you’ve never considered.
Get plenty of rest and ensure that it’s restful, not just another thing you have to do in a day
Take care of your body and what you are putting into it in the midst of adversity.
Focus on the positive as much as possible and less on the negative.
Focus on the future and not looking back into the past trying to wish away the mistakes.
Make time to smile and laugh – they are the best medicine. Especially after a long cry or release of the emotions.
Use positive affirmations, positive visualization, positive mindset growth to help realize there’s still good.
Limit your social media and media usage to help decrease the negativity in your life.
Take time to educate yourself on great achievements in History, watch the movies that celebrate and bring light to adversity.
Take the time to process in the tough times while keeping your goal in mind and celebrate the wins along the way, big and small.
Look at every situation as an opportunity to learn, not just as something that happened to you, but instead for you.
Get out of your comfort zone and try something new to keep positive in the face of adversity.
Watch the way your kids, nieces, nephews, or even kiddos on YouTube play if that’s all you have access to – and learn from them to be carefree.
Practice gratitude by focusing on the things in your life that you are thankful for.
Life right now is anything but ordinary.
It’s not going to get much easier as we go, because change is needed, and with change comes discomfort. It will be most important to find joy in the tough times with a support system who gets you and knows your goals. So it might be exercise or healthy eating that gets you through it. It might be positivity or goals. But right now, the only way we get to the other side is to face the adversity head on and going right through. It’s going to mean seeing the light when the tough times want to bring you down. It’s keeping a positive outlook when things look bleak.
I hope you understand these ideas and tips can help in ANY situation of adversity you may be faced with. They apply all the same.
Tell me, did I miss some? Which is your favorite? I’d love to hear from the community how we can support one another.
Hey there, skincare enthusiasts! Today, we’re diving into the world of body butter and exploring the magic of Kopari Body Butter, a vegan, cruelty-free, and clean alternative that will transform your skin’s hydration game. If you’re searching for a product that will not only replenish your skin’s natural oils but also protect it from dryness and irritation, you’re in for a treat. Let’s explore how to use Kopari Body Butter to achieve that smooth, glowy hydration you’ve been craving.
How To Use Kopari Body Butter for Smooth, Glowy Hydration
What Makes Kopari Body Butter Special?
Before we dive into the how-to, let’s talk about why Kopari Body Butter is a great product for your skin. This delightful body butter is infused with Kopari’s signature sweet coconut milk scent and packed with active ingredients that help retain moisture, making it perfect for all skin types, especially dry skin. The product is formulated with hyaluronic acid, which is a powerful hydrating agent that keeps your skin plump and nourished. With its lighter-than-air whipped texture, this body butter glides effortlessly onto your skin, leaving you feeling pampered and refreshed.
Step One: Applying After Bath or Shower
The best time to apply Kopari Body Butter is right after a bath or shower. Your skin is most receptive to hydration when it’s damp, and using the body butter at this time will help lock in the moisture, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple. Gently pat your skin dry with a towel, leaving it slightly damp, and then proceed with the application.
Step Two: Firm and Broad Strokes
Using firm yet gentle strokes, apply the Kopari Body Butter all over your body. Start from your legs and work your way up, covering your torso, arms, and back. Make sure to also apply the body butter in broad strokes to ensure even coverage. This method allows the product to absorb more efficiently, ensuring maximum hydration for your skin.
Step Three: Pay Attention to Dry Areas
As you apply the body butter, pay close attention to areas prone to dryness, such as your elbows, hands, and knees. These areas tend to lose moisture more quickly and need some extra love and care. Massage the body butter into these regions with circular motions to promote better absorption.
Step Four: Target Extra Dry Areas
If you have particularly dry areas on your body, such as your heels or elbows, consider targeting those spots with a bit more body butter. These areas may require additional hydration and nourishment to become soft and smooth.
Step Five: The Sweet Coconut Milk Scent
One of the delightful aspects of using Kopari Body Butter is the signature sweet coconut milk scent that accompanies the product. As you massage the body butter into your skin, take a moment to indulge in the heavenly fragrance, turning your application into a delightful self-care ritual.
By following these simple steps, you’ll find that Kopari Body Butter provides your body with the smooth, glowy hydration it craves. Regular use of this clean and vegan formula will leave your skin feeling nourished and looking radiant.
