Energising Strategies to Enjoy the Process of Improving Your Situation

Are you stuck in a situation that you would like to change? Working hard is often seen as a chore, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether it’s getting out of debt, finding a new job, or starting your own business, working hard to get yourself out of the situation can be an enjoyable experience. Here are some tips to improve your circumstances while actually having fun.

First, make sure you are working towards something that you truly care about. If it’s something that is important to you, it will be easier to stay motivated and find joy in the process. Make a list of goals and use them as motivation when things get tough. Celebrate each milestone along the way – even small successes can make a big difference!

Second, take time for yourself. Allow yourself moments of rest throughout your journey so that you don’t get burned out. Find activities that bring you joy and help refresh your mind when needed.

A great way to do this is by trying this week’s Jugar Life games with friends, students, or family members. These exciting activities proved to keep morale and encourage progress in getting out of a bad situation!

Fun Ways to Reflect on the Past to Elevate the Present and Future

We all experience setbacks and disappointments in life that can feel hard to move past. But it is possible to use those experiences to inform the present and create a better future.

Reflecting on the past can be a powerful tool for personal growth. It gives us the opportunity to gain insight into our behaviour patterns, our strengths, and our weaknesses. We can use this knowledge to make positive changes that will have far-reaching effects.

For example, if you have a tendency to procrastinate or be disorganized, you might recognize that and commit to making small changes that help you stay organized and productive. Or if you notice that you often become overwhelmed by stress, take time each day to practice mindfulness techniques that help manage anxiety. Making changes doesn’t have to be difficult or intimidating when you look at it as an opportunity for self-growth.

Liven up and take this week’s activities from Fitness Games Zone as your first step towards elevating your present and future.

Kindness is Contagious: Spread the Love and Strengthen Relationships

We all have people in our lives that we care about, whether they are family, friends, or colleagues. To strengthen those relationships, it is important to show these people how much they mean to us. With kindness as the catalyst, we can create meaningful connections and foster a positive environment.

It has been shown that kindness is contagious, and when we reach out to someone with a kind word or gesture, it can encourage others to do the same. So, let’s all take the time to let people know what they mean to us. It will take less than two minutes (I promise!). You will be surprised at how good you feel once you do this simple act of kindness.

This week from Jugar Life Membership’s Play Portal, try these super fun games that will help you connect with your family and friends—it will make their day!

Using Musical Workouts to Maximise Engagement

The beat of the music and the bongo drums of the rhythm can elevate an individual’s mood and make them feel more alive. Music-based workouts are perfect for people who need something to move their bodies without dragging themselves along. It helps individuals enjoy exercise more as they dance away to their favourite tunes, feeling energized and in control of their workout routine.

Incorporating music is especially beneficial for those who have difficulty finding motivation when exercising or find it hard to stick with a plan as the beats keep them going until the end. Not only that, but musical-based workouts also allow one to express themselves creatively as they dance around in tune with the melody.

They can enjoy moving freely without restrictions, allowing them to be immersed in each moment as they focus on feeling good about themselves inside and out.

As Fitness Games Zone members, you have over 40 specially designed musical workouts ready. Below are three of the most popular from our workshops and members’ feedback. We can guarantee these three to four-minute activities will be a hit with everyone.

ACDC – TNT

The Police – Roxanne

Fun-Based Movement Improves Physical Fitness and Relationships

Making fitness fun is the key to gaining physical and mental benefits and building relationships. Movement is medicine, and having fun while exercising is an excellent way for any group to become healthier together.

Fitness doesn’t have to be tedious. Using various activities that get people out of their comfort zone can impact physical and mental well-being. Incorporating elements of competition and collaboration can also help build positive relationships in any group setting.

Fun-based fitness has been proven to increase motivation, reduce stress, improve self-esteem, increase endorphins, and strengthen core muscles. It’s also been linked to improved concentration, memory recall, coordination, muscle strength and flexibility, reduced risk of chronic diseases like heart disease or diabetes, improved sleep quality, and even increased creativity!

This week on the Fitness Games Zone, we would like to introduce you to two games that will pack a punch while making fitness fun.

Plank Air Hockey
Dice Car Racing

Both games are suited for participants of all ages and, most importantly, will put a smile on everyone’s face while playing.

A Playful Attitude of Gratitude

Let’s talk about gratitude! It’s not just something to say before dinner. It’s essential for our mental health and overall happiness. Here are some fun and playful benefits of practising gratitude:

It’s like a mental high-five! When you take a moment to feel grateful for something, it’s like giving yourself a mental high-five. You’re acknowledging something good in your life, and it feels good!
It helps you focus on the good stuff. When you’re feeling down or stressed, it’s easy to get caught up in negative thoughts. Practising gratitude helps shift your focus to the good things in your life, no matter how small they may seem.
It’s contagious! When you express gratitude, it can spread to those around you. Think about how good it feels when someone thanks you for something. You can make someone’s day just by expressing gratitude.
It boosts your mood. When you’re feeling grateful, your brain releases feel-good chemicals like dopamine and serotonin. Practising gratitude can make you feel happier.

With all that being said, here are two brand new ways you, as Jugar Life Members, can use play to get the benefits above in a super fun way.

We Don’t Stop Playing Because We Grow Old….

We Don’t Stop Playing Because We Grow Old, We Grow Old Because We Stop Playing!

It’s a simple fact: we stop playing because we grow old. And according to new research, that’s not just a coincidence – it’s the cause and effect. A recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology shows that there is a direct correlation between declining playfulness in adulthood and the onset of age-related physical and mental decline.

So what does this mean for us? It’s simple: if we want to stay young, we need to keep playing. Whether it’s playing tag with our kids, kicking a ball around with our friends, or even just taking a few moments each day to have some fun, playfulness is essential to keeping our bodies and minds young. And that’s something we can all benefit from.

This research provides valuable insight into the importance of playfulness in maintaining our health as we age. #HealthIsWealth

Active Play and Connection Can Prevent Burnout in Adults

According to a recent study, adults who engage in active play and maintain positive social connections are less likely to experience burnout. The study, which researchers at the University of Missouri conducted, found that adults who reported higher levels of playfulness and social connectedness were less likely to report feeling burned out.

The study surveyed 467 working adults and asked them about their levels of playfulness, social connectedness, and burnout. The findings suggest that adults who are more playful and connected are better able to cope with stress and are less likely to feel overwhelmed or burnt out.

This research has implications for adults who are struggling with burnout. By incorporating more playfulness into their lives and maintaining positive social connections, they may be able to prevent or reduce the symptoms of burnout.

Burnout is a serious problem that can have negative consequences for both individuals and organisations. That’s why we have created the three-hour virtual FunShop to share fun and practical ways that individuals can use daily to prevent burnout at home and in the workplace. Read more HERE.
