The Power of Small Positive Changes

Enhancing your lifestyle might include committing to small positive changes like solving puzzles daily or at least on a regular basis. Your daily Solve puzzle ritual is a pleasant activity that helps build a positive attitude for successful habit change.

It is said that every morning Benjamin Franklin asked himself “What good will I do today?” and in the evening he asked, “What good did I do today?” That is an admirable intention and if we all did that, our focus and perspective would likely be enhanced.

Making small positive changes in your life can benefit your mind and your body. You may be surprised by how much positive impact one small change can have on your life. Besides starting or maintaining your daily Solve puzzle ritual here are some other ideas to get you thinking about the power of small positive changes:

• Maintain uninterrupted sleep for 8 hours each night

•  Eat 2-3 well-balanced meals each day

•  Engage in physical activity for 30 minutes a day

•  Practice mindfulness or meditation regularly

•  Learn how to effectively manage your stress and build resilience

•  Stay present in your daily relationships

•  Take time for yourself every day (maintaining your daily Solve puzzle ritual)

Consider this quote from Pat Conroy, author of the novel Lords of Discipline, “The human can always use a new tradition. Sometimes we require them.”

The Solve Team endorses the many elements that contribute to a healthy lifestyle. A healthy brain requires good general health. Add a Solve puzzle ritual to your daily health habits and experience the power of small positive changes. When you solve puzzles daily, you will start to enjoy those small wins that come along with successfully completing the puzzles.  

Let’s end with a quote from Karen Lamb (words in italics have been added by Team Solve), “A year from now you may wish you had started your Solve puzzle ritual today.” There’s nothing like an inspirational quotation to reboot your enthusiasm. So get started and keep going with your Solve puzzle ritual!
