No matter which way you look at it, life can be overwhelming. With so many responsibilities, societal pressures, and the state of the world in general, it is easy to feel like it is all just too much. But before you burn out, try some of these methods to simplify your day.
Hand on Heart
Most of us reach for our phones as soon as we open our eyes. From then on, we are bombarded by emails, news alerts, and other notifications. So, before you enter the madness, take a minute to check in with yourself. Put your hands on your heart and listen to your inner voice.
A Little Does a Lot
They say that a cluttered space is a sign of a cluttered mind. Clean out both in a methodical way. We’re not saying to tackle it all at once—just three items a day. Keep a box or bag in an accessible location and drop in 3 things. When it is full, you can donate the contents.
Life is Short
So often we tell ourselves that we only deserve nice things if we have completed or accomplished something. No, you deserve to be kind and treat yourself. Allow yourself one small pleasure a day, whether it be coffee in bed, chatting with a friend, or listening to your favorite music.
