    Incorporate Movement

    Along with grief oftentimes comes feelings of low energy, low motivation, stress, anxiety, depression, and others. None of these experiences are easy to overcome, so it can feel like a hopeless endeavor trying to get yourself out of it. If you find that you are struggling with coping with these difficult feelings after a loss, we suggest reminding yourself that you are not alone. Plenty of people face extremely similar struggles every day, and some even find a way to overcome them. One of the first ways that we suggest trying to overcome your grief is by regularly incorporating movement into your daily routine. Now, you may immediately be thinking that this means rigorous exercise, but it can really be anything at all that requires you to move. Some of our favorite options include things like running, jogging, swimming, biking, dancing, walking, and more! Truthfully, any time of movement is good movement so be sure to get yourself moving at least once a day. Now, while you may expect to notice immediate results in your grief, this is not how this works. While movement will greatly benefit your physical and mental health, it will only do so once you’ve been maintaining this routine for a lengthy amount of time. We promise that the more you keep up with your routine, the better and better you will feel. If you find that you have some difficulty staying motivated, then we recommend inviting a family member or friend to do this movement with you each day.

    Eat Healthy Meals

While reaching for sweets and junk food is much simpler, these types of foods will only serve to harm your physical and mental health over time.

Again, if you have trouble keeping yourself accountable, then it could be fun to do this alongside a friend or family member. You might even come to enjoy the process of cooking, eating, and shopping healthier.

    Play Comforting Music
