So instead, make a to-do list before going to bed, BUT make sure to put the most important things at the very front so they get done.
Bid Adieu to Pessimism
When I decided to take 30 days to stop complaining, you have NO IDEA how many times I had to stop myself mid-sentence as I started to complain.
It made me aware of how I wasn’t being thankful for the good things in my life and how much I needed to change my view on things. Seriously, turning your complaints into thankfulness will relieve a lot of stress in your life.
Cut Down on Social Media
It sounds difficult, I know. But trust me, social media contributes a TON to your anxiety and depression.
There is so much negativity online, that cutting it down to a minimum will lower your stress levels AND give you more time in your life to do the important things.
Get Rid of the Unnecessary
We don’t realize how many unnecessary things and toxic relationships can add misery to our lives. If someone or something puts stress into your life, learn to put up some healthy boundaries to protect your own health.
Learn to Say NO
Say no, it’s as simple as that. If you find yourself being too kind and saying yes to too many things, then it’s time to set boundaries. You can still be kind, but let them know why you can’t come or help them with something.
