Busy everyday life – work, home, household chores, fitness, shopping… Sound familiar? However, we should always find some time for ourselves. We at the Next Level team want to give you some ideas on how to take time for yourself and that will fuel you for the next dose of daily tasks.
Engaging in hobbies, exercise, or whatever suits your nature best will contribute to:
It goes without saying that self-care should not be a one-time event, nor a short-term one. It is a process that requires time and must be adapted to your habits in order to see progress in your relationship with yourself.
Reading has been shown to help slow the release of endorphins. This can be your offline time. Don’t feel obligated to answer every single message and rush to see the phone every time it vibrates. Bring peace to your mind and soul with a few pages a day in time just for you. Yes, you read that right, several pages. It is not necessary to rush things, start gradually, it is far from necessary to read half a book a day if you do not have time for it.
Easy and nice! It’s that simple, play your favorite playlist and get moving at home. No one will watch or judge you, only you matter. Feel the rhythm and shake off all thoughts, problems, obligations. Everything can wait. Make your reboot in a fun and entertaining way.
Incorporating yoga, meditation and deep breathing exercises into your daily routine can gradually increase the level of endorphins in the body. And guess what? Again, you don’t need to spend too much time or wonder where to exercise. You can do breathing exercises or meditation on your bed or sofa, and your living room is enough for a short yoga session to get your blood moving and your thoughts clear. If your motivation at home is not enough, you can always look at our schedules with group classes and find yoga classes in a club convenient for you.
Here the ideas are slightly intertwined with the previous point, because you may not know that longer walking is also a form of meditation. But let’s break away from that and focus on the pure benefits of walking. Silence, fresh air and movement. What more? You can prepare your favorite drink in advance, invite a friend and take a walk in the nearby park.
We give you an idea for a smoothie to take with you to the park in the article: “From the kitchen of Next Level”.
If you’re trying to self-sabotage with excuses, we’re here to defeat them. The duration of the walk depends entirely on you, the clothing does not need to be thought out specially or to be delayed with preparations. Just throw on some sneakers and you’re ready for action! What could be better than taking a walk in the fresh air on an increasingly warm afternoon.
We come to the most important part – healthy physical training. They are one of the most effective ways to release tension and shake off everyday problems. Exercising raises endorphin levels, increases self-esteem, reduces stress, improves posture and much more.
There are many options here, starting with the simplest – home workouts. You do them at a time convenient for you, in a way convenient for you. If you don’t know what to do and how to train at home, you can take a look at our online training.
Get started with free access videos like HIIT, Stretching, Abs and Torso and more.
Have you been training outdoors? You can run, do jumps in one place, lunges and squats or choose a street fitness platform with basic equipment and barbells.
However, in order to be independent of weather conditions and for top motivation, we recommend training in the gym. With us, you will find everything you need for a full-fledged workout, emphasizing again that the duration should not bother you. The recommended duration of a really strenuous workout is 1 hour and 30 minutes, but even a 30-minute workout can do wonders for your mood and self-esteem.
If you want to go to the Next Level, 😉 you can always visit one of our group training sessions. That way, you won’t get distracted or scattered between the devices, the workout is prepared in advance, and the coach, in addition to motivating you, can also give you some really valuable tips on how to improve your performance.
