 Hello, my name is Garnt Sarrantito here at the Human Performance Branch with Training and Education Command. Today, I want to talk to you about how to boost your mindset in order to improve your mental fitness. One great practice in order to improve your mental fitness is to find ways to combine mentally stimulating content while conducting physical fitness. We already know from research that physical fitness has positive psychological benefits such as reducing thoughts of depression and anxiety while boosting self-esteem. So as a marine or sailor athlete, when you are purposeful and intentionally steer your thoughts during a workout, you impact two areas of fitness at the same time. One option to consider is listening to a podcast that is educational or motivational while going for a long run. You can listen to music that has lyrics that are positive, encouraging, and boost your mental state and mentally prepare you for your day. If you PT out nature, consider just listening to the sounds that your surroundings produce such as the birds chirping, the wind blowing on the leaves, and anything else you hear. As you do, allow your thoughts to flow which can strengthen your resiliency as you simply process life and enjoy the beauty of the scenery around you. You may find that some of your most creative ideas and inspirations come while on a long run or hike while listening to the natural sounds around you. A second option is to incorporate spiritual fitness practices as well. Select music that you find feeds the intangible part of who you are. Spiritually uplifting music, meditation, guides, and personally chosen religious practices such as prayer and memorized texts boost mental and spiritual fitness while conducting physical fitness. A third option, bring a friend along with you and now you have added social fitness. So join us on the journey to boost your mindset and your overall resilience.
