Feeling Anxious?

Outline for a Positive Daily Routine

  1. Morning: Start with Positivity

    • Minimize News and Social Media:

      • Begin your day by avoiding negative influences from news or social media. This helps create a positive mindset and reduces stress or anxiety.

      • Instead, engage in something uplifting like a few moments of gratitude, meditation, or listening to an inspiring podcast or music.

    • Inspiration from: Shawn Achor (Author of The Happiness Advantage), who emphasizes the power of starting your day on a positive note to cultivate happiness and success.

  2. Midday: Gratitude Journaling

    • Journal Three Things You Are Grateful For:

      • Take a short break in your day to write down three things you are grateful for. Reflect on these positive aspects of your life.

      • Spend 10 uninterrupted minutes focusing on these thoughts to reinforce positivity and reduce stress.

    • Credit to: Shawn Achor, for emphasizing the importance of gratitude in promoting happiness and well-being.

  3. Evening: Unplug and Reflect

  4. Put Away All Electronic Devices:

    • Before going to sleep, turn off and put away all electronic devices to reduce distractions and promote better sleep.

  5. Journal Three Things That Went Well:

    • Reflect on your day by writing down three things that went well, no matter how big or small.

  6. Inspiration from: Martin Seligman (Founder of Positive Psychology), who developed the “Three Good Things” exercise to increase positive emotions and well-being.
