Cultivate self-love and self-compassion as a foundational practice for improving your own health. Extend love and compassion to others, recognizing that this act of giving can also elevate their health and that we are all interconnected healers.
Practice gratitude by writing down or thinking about things you’re grateful for, recognizing lessons from experiences, and appreciating moments of beauty. This helps foster presence, self-compassion, and can elevate oneself and others by igniting brain parts associated with being present.
Actively visualize your desired future self or health circumstances, imagining what it would feel like and how your daily routines and decisions would play out differently. This practice helps open your mind to possibilities and can improve your ability to achieve that better future, as the brain perceives imagined scenarios similarly to real ones.
When visualizing, imagine yourself doing the action in real-time, as if you are seeing it through your own eyes, rather than watching yourself from a distance. This method has been shown to be more effective in improving outcomes like muscle strength, even without physical movement.

This practice helps reduce rumination, lowers blood pressure and pulse rate, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, fostering calm and faster recovery.
Create clear boundaries around your personal time, especially when working from home, to prevent overwhelm and burnout. This allows for mental space and helps manage expectations for constant availability.
Actively seek out experiences that evoke a sense of awe, whether through external beauty like a sunset or concert, or internal reflection on moments of profound connection and resilience. Awe can inspire and provide perspective, often arising from witnessing others’ strength through suffering.
