Do you know the feeling when you try to fall asleep in the middle of the night, but you just can't because you are overwhelmed by negative thoughts?
Stress, anxiety, a sedentary and unhealthy lifestyle can affect your health, especially your mental well-being. However, it is important not to allow these negative thoughts to surround and overwhelm you.
See a brighter perspective of life.
First, start sticking to a healthy routine
It doesn't have to be a disciplined lifestyle, it's hard to achieve everything at once. Instead, start one step at a time. You may want to start each morning with a short ten-minute walk or cut back on unhealthy habits.

If you're not a person who likes to write, do it in your head. Talk to yourself, identify stressors and relax. Don't rush to find a solution. Just recognize them and start trying to avoid or overcome them, whichever suits you best.
Be happy
Go on a short trip, to a meeting or to a coffee. Do what you love and enjoy it. Don't depend on others. Learn to enjoy it.

Try to get eight hours of sleep every night. Go to bed at a certain time and wake up at a certain time. Your weekends can be an exception.
Remember, negativity is just an emotion, not a way of life
Many people often fall prey to negative emotions because they cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. It is often considered permanent and irreversible. However, this is just part of your daily life. Deep breathing, maintaining a comfortable and happy environment at home, and listening to soothing sounds can help.
