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.

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

Ray Parker Jr – Ghostbusters

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 Tale In Africa

On almost every occasion, when I am working with a new group of coaches, teachers or corporates, play is how I break the ice to ensure we connect in the best way possible. I call this ‘connection before content’. It’s essential to build a relationship and trust before you start delivering any form of content in any situation.

I find that play helps people feel safe and comfortable with one another and with themselves, and with me. People’s walls tend to come down a lot quicker when we use play-based activities. Meaning they’re then likely to be more comfortable and confident—adults’ play taking risks, showing vulnerability and absorbing key take-outs from our sessions.

A great example of this in action is when I was in Kenya. Some years ago, I ran a two-day African conference for teachers from all over the continent, along with a couple of international teachers. I was pretty nervous.

Click HERE to read the entire chapter of the book, as it’s a really insightful and heartwarming story. Completely free sample chapter from All Work No Play.

Here is a brilliant article featured in the UK Rugby Coach Weekly about the power of play. Click HERE to download.

P.S. Thank you to everyone who has purchased the book and left a positive review on Amazon and other platforms (The book is available online globally if you haven’t purchased a copy yet).

The final thing I want to leave you with is the power of kindness. I challenge you to do something kind for someone today after reading the message to make them smile simply. Below is a random act of kindness I did last week 🙂 Cheers Dale

FREE Student Challenge – JAG BAG Launch

Today is an exhilarating day as it marks three years since Dr Craig Daly and I started talking about putting together a challenge to help children and adults worldwide. This is completely free for everyone and labour of love to improve the globes happiness and mental health. Below you can read out what’s involved in the free packs and click on the link at the end of the show notes to gain access to the JAG BAG Packs from Jugar Life.

With approximately half of all mental disorders commencing before the age of 14, school settings play a crucial role in ensuring that mental health and well-being are constant focus points during a student’s formative years. Research over the past 20 years has suggested that comprehensive initiatives embracing a ‘whole of school’ approach (involving school leaders, teachers, staff, and parents) have fostered a climate where better transitions from childhood to adulthood occur.

However, overall, student mental health appears to be on the decline, with an estimated one in every five adolescents suffering from a significant mental health disorder. Of additional concern is that, sadly, most instances go undetected and untreated. Early research outputs since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic estimate incidences of adolescent anxiety, depression, and stress have risen significantly. Students worldwide struggle to deal with the loneliness, social isolation, and negativity brought on by continued uncertainty. At JUGAR|LIFE, we want to do our part to remedy that.

JAG, as an acronym, stands for joy, affection, and gratitude. These elements exist as core components of social and emotional wellbeing. We challenged ourselves to design an initiative that prioritised these components irrespective of school setting; an initiative that was comprehensive in nature, flexible in delivery, and aligned with specific learning objectives drawn from global social and emotional wellness curricula. We made it our mission to make it available free of charge to all. The JAG Bag is the result.

Connect, Listen & Love Today

Im a big fan of R U OK Day and the message behind it, reach out and take time to chat to friend’s and family today. But it isn’t just a one-day thing. This needs to be done every day, and not just asking if your OK. I have found that sometimes touching base with people and sending them a link, article or something to action can also work.

Two podcast episodes come to mind. A recent one I did with Wayne Schwass and also one I did with my Father Kevin Sidebottom. If you know someone who is struggling at the moment, sometimes hearing and listening to someone’s struggles and personal story can save lives. Anyway, be kind to each other and yourself in these challenging times. Here are the two episodes I mentioned above. Cheers Dale
