InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
November 2, 2023
The focus for today is:
Regular routines can help me manage my health and stress.
Today's inspiration was written by Megan Edgelow:
Regular routines can help people feel like they have control over their daily lives and that they can take positive steps in managing their health. For example, making time for exercise within routines can help meet recommended daily activity levels.
Regular routines can also go beyond the streamlining of daily tasks and add some spice to life. Evidence indicates that a health-promoting activity like walking can offer chances to enjoy nature, explore new places and socialize.
Research on the concept of flow, a state of full absorption in the present moment, shows that activities like sports, games, fine arts and music can be fulfilling and reinforcing. Regular participation in meaningful and engaging activities can also contribute positively to mental health.

Comment from Marie: I find I do better during the day when I've started off my day with my regular routine of stretches and acupressure point massage. My energy is higher and I do not get tired as easily. It's definitely helping my daily life.
