Good Habits to follow
What are good habits?
A positive good habit is a good habit that requires effort. For example, running.
A negative good habit* is a good habit that requires a lack of effort. For example, not eating fast food.
A positive bad habit* is a bad habit that requires effort. For example, eating fast food.
A negative bad habit is a bad habit that requires a lack of effort. For example, not running.
Let’s say you sit on your couch all day doing absolutely nothing. You are neither running nor eating fast food. Negative habits are easier to maintain than positive habits. We just don’t recognize our negative good habits. If you want to start recognizing your negative good habits, open up a calendar, and then mark every day you don’t do whatever you think is a bad habit. You’ll find a lot of good habits are easier to maintain than you realize.

Can good habits improve my mental health?
Regular exercise can benefit the body in numerous ways physically, and mentally as well. It encourages blood flow to the brain and allows for clearer focus and thinking. It raises the heart rate to strengthen your body because we tend to get weaker as we age. It also helps to strengthen our immune system, as many folks with mental health disorders tend to get ill frequently. Regular exercise boosts mood and motivation and increases endorphins. It may also provide for social interaction, which tends to suffer when people feel isolated and withdrawn. It helps us feel more confident in ourselves and keeps us “in shape,” whatever that means to each person.
