Healthcare Research
Covid -19 has been overwhelming for hospital systems world over even the most developed nations faced the deluge of patients they never planned for causing multiple people to die as hospitals were not available. One thing top of every mind during and after pandemic is how can I stay safe?.
Question here is how we stay grounded at this time? And how do we help our families to do the same? Damolekule Research has been instrumental in working with various agencies to find out what can help here in current times as well as in the future to come. A total of 10000 surveys across different countries and regions were carried out sending out online invitation to participate to healthy, ailing and extremely fit individuals to find out according to them which top 3 habits formation can help them with staying fit during these times and times to come. These habits are as below:
Setting up Intention
Bring in the focus every morning when you wake up first thing you should be working on think about your intention for the day. What will be the main theme of my entire day. It not only helps you to prioritize but also puts you at the steering wheel. Often it feels like dragging but trust me it really helps you to beat the stress. Your intention might be to focus on your job and make a dent in a project, or perhaps it’s self-care and making calls for doctors’ appointments. Recently, my intentions have been to make progress on a project at work and to be present for my kids. Having a focus or intention helps me have a North Star for the day so I don’t get stuck mentally.
Exercise
Our second priority or daily task is to find 15-30 minutes for physical activity, preferably outdoors. This is because exercise is not only good for our physical health, but it can help our mental and emotional well-being too. If you can do it outside and be in the sun, that is definitely a bonus — sunshine is thought to release serotonin, a hormone that helps mood and focus. Taking a break from your work for even a 15-minute walk can leave you more energized, ultimately helping your mood and productivity. I often go on my stationary bike just for 15 minutes with my fave play list, and I can feel a boost from it.
Gratitude
My third ritual is at the end of the day. And this is to take a moment and just list 1-2 things that I am truly grateful for. I try to be as specific as possible — this takes more thought, and I find that the extra effort pays off. Think about what it is and why you are grateful for it. For example, yesterday, I was very grateful for my room. That sounds trivial, but it isn’t — my room feels like a sanctuary to me, a space where I can think and be creative. Feeling grateful for your home, family, health, or a friend helps us shift from stressed out and negative to a more positive perspective. And this can help our emotional stress levels, especially during this pandemic.
Try these habits on daily basis to beat the stress and stay healthy and if you still have medical issues or conditions do not hesitate to connect with doctor to help diagnose the real problem to provide you with correct medications and help. Do not google your symptoms and do self medication as it only worsens the condition you might be in or you may get into situation more grave than it is already.
