How to find happiness during the time of COVID-19

During these difficult times and with all the chaos and negativity surrounding you and your family, one may find himself/herself deprived of all the happiness and hope. But it is really important not just for you but your loved ones to be happy to overcome this adversity.

Well, now that we know, it’s really important to stay happy. But, how to be happy?

Actually, it’s quite simple, just start by smiling at yourself every morning in the mirror. And see what happens. You may not believe it but there is a scientific reason behind it. Smiling causes the brain to release dopamine, which makes us happier.

You can even try exercising for a few minutes every day. Dance or do zumba or any kind of physical activity that you like. It is one the best ways, to instantly lift your mood.

Also make sure that you get enough sleep. Eight hours of sleep a day, no more or no less. When your brain gets the exact amount of rest it needs, it’s efficiency increases.  

Be grateful for what you have. Give a compliment to yourself and those around you. Doing this would not only make you happy but the ones around you happy as well. www.3meds.com

Stay connected to you family and friends. Keep a check on them via video calls, text messages or voice calls. Talking to the people you like can easily make anyone happy.

 Pray and meditate. Praying calms your mind and your senses. This is also one of the ways by which you can lift your mood and be happy.

All things considered, during this current lock down situation and nothing to do at home, there are many who find themselves in state of boredom. Well, personally I think, during this time we can be anxious, stressed, uneasy, sad, depressed, scared, lonely, tired but boredom sounds like a lack of desire to do something instead of the lack of means.

Think of the time when you always wanted to do something or learn something but you didn’t have the time. When you were always over worked and burdened with responsibilities and you wished the weekends lasted a little longer. www.3meds.com

Well what better time than this to do whatever you love. It could be cooking, painting, learning a new language, binge watching movies, reading, working out, dancing, and cleaning your house, stretching, writing a book, maintaining a skin care routine or play guitar. There has never been a better time to take up a new hobby. And as a matter of fact we know that doing what we actually love makes us happy, positive and hopeful. So, what can be a better or an easy way than this to be happy?

“Staying happy isn’t a tough job, all you got to do is find the happiness within. Look at the brighter side and focus on the positivity of the situations.”

10 Proven healthy tips for better sleep

After a long  tiring day at work or even at home, all that a body needs is good night’s sleep. It is something which is often neglected but is actually as important as a healthy diet and a regular exercise.

Are you one of those who is struggling to have a good, restful sleep ? Are you tired of being tired ?

Here are 10 proven healthy and simple tips for better sleep :

1.          Follow a proper sleep schedule –

The recommended amount of sleep in a day is 8 hours or maybe 7. Stick to that no more or no less. Also when you set a specific time to go to bed and wake up in the morning your body adjusts to it. Even on weekends try to do the same or maybe have a difference of not more than one hour to your daily sleep schedule.  

2.          Reduce irregular or long daytime naps –

Short power naps of 30 minutes or less can enhance daytime time brain function and can also be very beneficial to tackle inactiveness. But if you nap for a longer time then you might end up feeling sleepier during the daytime and might experience a poor sleep quality at night.

3.          Exercising regularly is the key –

Engaging your body in any type of physical workout at least for an hour in a day is one of the best ways to improve the quality of your sleep. However, one should keep in mind that it is not advisable to work out too close to your bedtime. It also helps in maintaining a healthy body which ultimately results in a healthy mind.

4.          Don’t eat late in the evening –

One should go to bed light stomach. Eating late in the evening might affect your sleep quality negatively. In particular, one should avoid large meals rich in fats or carbs within a couple of hours of bedtime.

5.          Avoid alcohol and Caffeine –

Caffeine can significantly worsen sleep quality as it stimulates your nervous system and may stop your body from naturally relaxing at night. And even though alcohol might make you feel sleepy, it can disrupt sleep later in the night.

6.          Managing your worries and stress –

If you suffer from anxiety or find yourself over thinking quite often at night, try meditating before going to bed. You can even try listening to soothing music for a couple of minutes before bed or you can pray, for the beautiful day you’ve lived. These are really great methods of calming your mind and can help you get peaceful good night’s sleep.

7.          Stay away from screen before bed –

Exposure to blue light which electronic devices like smart phones or laptops emit, can really affect your sleep adversely. It is advisable to get rid of your phone 20 minutes before going to bed.

8.          Create an ideal bedroom environment for sleeping-

Optimize your bedroom environment by eliminating external light and noise to get better sleep. Temperature of your bedroom is also a factor to be kept in mind while creating an ideal bedroom environment.

9.          Tackle sleep disorders -  

There are many common conditions that can cause poor sleep, including sleep apnea. Some of these common medically diagnosed issues include sleep movement disorders and circadian rythm wake disorder. See a healthcare provider if poor sleep is a consistent problem in your life.
