10 tips that will simplify your life!
We all have to fulfill so many roles that at times it can be
overwhelming. Therefore, it is not unlikely for some to live
stressful lives. This is not good because stress affect us
entirely. It clouds and slows down our thinking process and puts
a lot of weight on our bodies. The results are unclear
communication with others, malfunction in work/school,
irritability, tiredness, etc. As you can see none of the
symptoms cause by stress are positive. Therefore, it is best to
avoid it. You are probably thinking avoid stress? Yeah Right!
And I am here to say that you probably can not avoid every
single mishap but there are simple actions that can help reduce
some of the weight on your shoulders. Below I have added ten
tips that can reduce your stress level.
1. Do you have too many chores at home- if you have a partner
and children then you can divide the chores. You would be amaze
but even toddlers can help by putting away their own toys.
2. Buy organizers- Organizers in my opinion are a necessary
tool. With both sexes working outside of the home, there is not
that much time to maintain a tidy home. However, if you have
organizers this definitely helps you reduce the amount of
clutter in the house. The end result: A put together home.
3. Keep track of your time- Yes, planning ahead does help. Once
you know what you want, plan what you need to do and state
exactly when.
4. Have room for mistakes- Nothing is ever going to be perfect.
So, do not beat yourself up over and over again. Instead, rise
and use the negative experience to your advantage by learning
from it.
5. For people that cook daily- Reduce the amount of times that
you cook in a week. You can cook for two days at a time or cook
various meals in one day for several days. Just make sure that
the food is store properly. It is advisable to freeze the
prepared food until; you are ready to use it.
6. Have a daily or weekly to do list- Let's face it, with so
many things in our heads it is pretty easy to forget what you
need to do.
7. Pay for cleaning services- If you can not delegate different
chores to others and have some cash to spare then, pay someone
else. If you can not afford full service then pay for part of
the chores. Pay a kid from your neighborhood a couple of bucks
for raking your leaves or mowing the lawn.
8. Use the internet to your advantage and reduce shopping time
by buying things online. Even some supermarkets are offering
this service.
9. Lessen the time spend on unproductive activities- Included
are talking on the phone, watching TV, chatting etc. You can do
them but make sure that you do not talk for three hours or watch
five different TV shows in one day etc. Activities like this do
nothing but, waste time that you could use productively.
10. Leisure time- Always try to enjoy your life, set time to do
activities that you love to do or interest you. It's simple when
we have fun there is no room for stress.
Remember life is just a whole bunch of moments put together so;
be careful of how you spend them.
Until Next,
