Increase the well-being with some easy behaviors

In order to promote our well-being in 2014 we must practice some simple actions, each of which can reduce everyday stress and increase the self-control. These are activities that do not require special quality to be practiced, the only skill required is  to believe in the pursuit of own health and well-being. They are:
Relax – It ‘s an activity that can be carried out for 10 minutes on a daily basis. There are relaxation techniques that can be performed in any place, allowing to reduce stress at any time of the day.

Meditate – I do not necessarily need to go to a Zen master to learn to meditate, you can begin by imagining for a few minutes of being in your favorite place and you can do it at the end of relaxation .

Physical activity – We need to walk at least 30 minutes each day, we will not become athletes but body will thank you.

Being with the people we love – A positive social life is important and be connected with the people we love is essential to share positive experiences and feel supported in times of trouble .

Reading – Dedicate time to read novels, short stories and poems is a nourishment for the soul, and then we have to turn off  internet and mobile and read whenever we can even just a few pages.

Tennis is an emotional meat grinder

Nadal says that tennis is a difficult and lonely sport in which the mental aspect is dominant over everything else. It’s a description of this game, profession, explaining in a few words how hard it’s to be successful in court, and contains in itself the reason why so many young players leave but very few become high-level players, and became part of the top 100 in the world. Tennis is a sport that challenge the self-confidence, because at the end of each game one loses and one wins and this is repeated many many times, spaced a few seconds apart. Submit themselves to this subtle torture it’s what the players love and hate, but when you are in this meat grinder of ups and downs, which stimulate contrasting feelings only few resist the temptation to give up and maintain high confidence in themselves .

Jane Fonda: I love the mistakes

“I love mistakes because it’s the only way you learn. You don’t learn from successes; you don’t learn from awards; you don’t learn from celebrity; you only learn from wounds and scars and mistakes and failures. And that’s the truth.” Jane Fonda

Basketball coach Phil Jackson on team love

“What do you mean when you write that the critical ingredient for a championship is love?”

“I know teams that get along well, they party together, but they’re not about the sharing and the deep care that you have to have as a team. You have to protect each other. You have to cover the other’s butt when he’s getting beat offensively. You have to know how to deliver the ball so people can get a good shot. You have to move outside yourself and think others.”
