If you are spending less time per day on something, you\u2019re more likely to do it for longer, in turn creating a sustainable habit. Something that takes only 5-10 minutes means you won\u2019t have to sacrifice anything for it, giving yourself little to no excuse for skipping it one day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are examples of mental fitness?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mental fitness can easily be brought into a daily routine. Ways this can be done through activities such as a few minutes of mindful attention to the present moment during your morning coffee, such as what we practice in <a href=\"https:\/\/balanceapp.com\/\">Balance<\/a>\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/balanceapp.com\/blog\/benefits-of-morning-meditation\">Morning Brew meditation<\/a>. If that meditation isn\u2019t for you, the Balance app is home to a variety of others, ranging from dream scenes to forgiveness. Unknown to many, meditation doesn\u2019t have to be done sitting in a compromising position in a gym, it can be done simply by listening to certain audio tracks and following a few breathing exercises. It can be done on your way to work, on your lunch break, or on an airplane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meditating every day can help you maintain consistency because you\u2019re integrating practices into your everyday life. Not only this, but it makes everyday mundane things feel even better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I ensure I don\u2019t give up?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be helpful to keep a journal to track your progress and insights. Reflecting on the benefits you\u2019ve been experiencing from practicing mental fitness will reinforce the value of these practices. Forcing yourself to focus on the \u201cWHY\u201d behind your actions will motivate you much longer into the future when the original burst of holiday new year energy subsides.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find a community, friend or accountability partner that can either do the practices alongside you or simply check in with you on your commitment, and give you encouragement and support. Alone we can go far, but together we can go much further.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it normal to want to give up?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adopt the mindset that practicing mental fitness is a journey, not a destination. Be patient and kind to yourself when motivation wanes, and it will at least once. Balance this kindness with commitment and muster the dedication to show up and do the practices even on the days when you feel less than enthusiastic. You will always thank yourself for the benefits you receive from it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I am motivated but I can\u2019t enjoy it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a particular practice isn\u2019t working for you, check in with a coach. It may be time for you to try different types of meditation or mindfulness exercises. It\u2019s good for people to have 3-4 different practices in their personal tool kit that serve different purposes depending on specific needs that day. Some days you may feel low energy and need a pick me up, other days you may need to calm your nervous system down. Some days you may need more focus to combat overwhelm, while other times you may need something to help you release resentment or grief. Keep experimenting until you find the practices that seem effective for you and your particular needs. This way you can keep your routine engaging and prevent it from becoming monotonous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"addrop-wrap\" data-id=\"58481\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/editorial\/sustaining-mental-fitness-going-beyond-januarys-burst-of-motivation\/\">&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;Read more about: Sustaining Mental Fitness: Going Beyond January&#8217;s Burst of Motivation &nbsp;&raquo;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":60298,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[132,133],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editorial","category-health-wellbeing"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
