The Humble Diet: with Martyn Park

EP 66: Yes it's hard but who cares so let's get on with it anyway.

Listen Later

In today’s episode we are going to explore the empowering mindset of embracing challenges with a light-hearted sense of joy, or… as I like to put it, a “yes it's hard but who cares so let’s get on with it anyway,” attitude.

 

My top 20 strategies for developing resilience, optimism, and joy:

  1. Practice gratitude daily by reflecting on things you're thankful for.
  • Cultivate a positive mindset by focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on problems.
  • Build a strong support network of friends, family, and mentors.
  • Engage in regular physical activity to boost mood and reduce stress.
  • Develop healthy coping mechanisms such as deep breathing, meditation, or journaling.
  • Set realistic goals and celebrate small victories along the way.
  • Embrace change as an opportunity for growth and learning.
  • Maintain a healthy work-life balance to prevent burnout.
  • Foster self-compassion by treating yourself with kindness and understanding.
  • Practice mindfulness to stay present and reduce anxiety about the future.
  • Challenge negative thoughts and replace them with positive affirmations.
  • Seek out humour and laughter as they can be powerful stress relievers.
  • Engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfilment, whether it's hobbies, volunteering, or spending time with loved ones.
  • Take breaks from technology and social media to disconnect and recharge.
  • Cultivate resilience by viewing setbacks as temporary and surmountable obstacles.
  • Prioritise self-care activities such as adequate sleep, healthy nutrition, and regular relaxation.
  • Practice forgiveness, both for yourself and others, to let go of resentment and cultivate peace.
  • Surround yourself with uplifting and supportive environments.
  • Learn from past experiences and use them as stepping stones for personal growth.
  • Stay hopeful and optimistic about the future, focusing on possibilities rather than limitations.
