If your life is full of stress and unwanted pressures then you’re doing it all wrong. Simplifying your life will free up the space and time to enjoy the things that are really important. Here are a few carefully selected ways that you can achieve some calm in your day-to-day life.
Take a break from social media
Despite beginning as a way to bring people together, some studies show that social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram actually make us lonelier. Try taking a break from social networking and see how you have much more to talk about with your friends next time you see them. You might find that a little break will transform the way that you use it, making your usage more functional and freeing up your time.
Travel light
How many of your possessions do you carry around with you on a daily basis? Phone, wallet, keys, pen, paper, laptop, tablet, books? Unless your name is Batman and you have a utility belt then you probably aren’t equipped to carry so much. With fewer possessions you can take in more of the world around you and experience much more.
Treat your body well
Many of us will experience major health problems at some point in our lives, ending up dependent on medicines and unable to enjoy the things that we once took for granted. By taking good care of your body, with regular exercise and a balanced diet you’ll be investing in your quality of life during your later years.
Learn to say “no”
It’s easy to over commit yourself, both at work, home and in your social life. Learning to say no can help you to stay on track with your goals, dreams and ambitions. Whether that’s a short term goal like meeting a deadline at work or a long term goal like becoming healthier or spending more time with your family and friends.
