Are you someone who frequently wonders how other people cope with life, when you’re over-burdened. How do other people manage? Stress is a problem many people have thanks to a hectic home life and a busy professional life. You have a home to run, bills to pay, places to be, people to see. In short, you have responsibilities. Throw in any bad habits you have such as eating poorly, drinking too much or smoking and lack of exercise, and you could be struggling to find a healthy balance. If this sounds like you, these helpful tips for a stress-free life could be just what you need.
It sounds ridiculously simple and it is, but the best thing you can do to lead a stress-fee life is to take one thing at a time. It may be that you want to revamp your life completely, get a haircut, find a new job, lose weight, write a novel. All of those things can wait. Do the one thing that is burning you the most, right now. This could be cleaning the bathroom, cooking lunch, googling job pages. Focus on that one thing. Whatever it is, do it now, and then when that’s done, you can move on to the next thing. While you’re doing that one thing, ignore all other distractions – your phone, the radio etc., and resist any urge you have to suddenly start something else until you’ve completed the one thing.
Find half an hour and attack a room or a cupboard. Set a timer and bring a black bin-bag. Then spend just thirty minutes tidying and decluttering. No more no less. Ignore any distractions. Once you’ve done that, do something fun!
Being constantly late is enormously stressful. If you’re the sort of person who is always late create a new habit of being early and you’ll be amazed at how much less stressful life becomes. Set your alarm for 15 minutes earlier, and get up straight away. Leave for work early. Turn up to meetings early. Get to your appointments earlier. Schedule extra time between appointments. Allow leeway for being held up on long journeys.
When you travel on a plane, there’s a reason you’re told to attend to your own oxygen mask first. If you take too much time to help someone else, you put yourself in danger. This is a useful analogy for life. Yes, you do have responsibility for other people, but if you don’t take care of yourself, you can find yourself in danger. Don’t waste time caring about what other people think when you’re looking after your own needs.
Following on from the habit of not caring what others’ think, is the idea that you should surround yourself with people who make you happy. Not everyone will. People who bring you down, or antagonise you, or constantly criticise you, deserve no place in your life, so distance yourself from them or stop hanging out with them altogether. Similarly, avoid people who are overtly negative all of the time. You need positivity in your life if you want remain stress free.
Are you over-committed? Take some time to look at your diary and all you’re trying to fit in. Learn to say no to things that aren’t beneficial to you, and to things you really do not enjoy at all. Create a schedule for yourself that allows you time to work, to take care of your home and yourself, and time for fun and leisure.
It is worth taking an hour or two to simplify your finances. You may be paying for things you don’t need any more. You may have subscriptions you don’t need. Perhaps it is time to change your energy company or insurance companies. Set up automatic payment facilities. Spend less. Have fun trying to spend less. Visit cheaper supermarkets. Eat on a budget. Cancel your gym membership and exercise outside. Make your money go further and you’ll feel a lot less stressed.
If you don’t exercise already, get active. Exercise is a great stress-reliever and often you work out issues and let go of anger and aggression while doing so. If you need some peace and calm, opt for an exercise class that’s gentle – Tai Chi or yoga are great stress-relievers.
You can meditate or do yoga, gentle swimming or even have a nap. You should find time every day where you just listen to your breathing and let your thoughts drift gently away. Walking in nature and listening to birdsong is also a great thing to do. Become lazier – do more of what makes you happy and less of what stresses you out.
One thing that tends to makes us stressed is when we overanalyse situations, often before they’ve even happened. Rationally there is no point worrying about something before it has happened. You can’t predict the future, and you can’t change something that has yet to occur. It is far better to deal with every situation as it happens, by reacting according to the problem that presents itself rather than try to second-guess what might happen.
Unless you’re complaining constructively to people who can actually make a difference, complaining is a complete waste of time and energy. It is unfortunate but bad things happen to good people – to all of us – at one time or another. It is far better to accept what happened and move on without holding on to bitterness or grudges, than to carry on feeling negative and making a fuss. No-one likes a whinger.
What are the characteristics you admire in other people? Perhaps you like people who are kind or compassionate, who have integrity and who are honest. Maybe you like those people who are respectful, committed or passionate. Which characteristics did you aspire to as a young person? Consider how you can go back to basics with your life and be that person once more. You’re in there somewhere, so give it a go. Inculcate some new habits, and somewhere along the way, you’ll find yourself living a life that is much less stressful.
