Let’s talk your mental flossing routine.

Yes. Just like flossing our teeth, mental flossing ensures we keep sane and fine tuned. It ensures we focus clearly, tap into creative thinking & it even boosts our immunity.
Yes. I am serious.
So is the research!
Looking after our mental health is not an optional extra, like leather seats in a car.
Did you know? A regular conscious routine with a good measure of discipline & consistency are key to long term vitality.
Think stress reduction & self management.
The good news: There is no one size fits all prescription! You decide.
Most people I meet have dabbled in meditation, others tweaked their exercise routines to allow for more mental and emotional regeneration. 🌳
From experience: small chunks everyday prove more effective and sustainable than bigger chunks a few times per week.
Some best practice options:
❇️ Active breathing routine (or regular quickies dotted in the day)
❇️ Journalling - from gratitude, to daily focus, reflection, or vomit journaling
❇️ Meditation
❇️ Mindful movement (eg walk, ride or run in nature, yoga)
📌 What do you schedule into your daily routines to support your mental and emotional sanity?
📌 What incremental change or tweak could you create to impact your daily energy and wellbeing?
