Planner Cut-Back
Whether it’s your diary, calendar, or planner, you no doubt have some kind of record of things you need to do the next week, month or year. The question is, is it too much for one person to do and still have time leftover just to do nothing? We’re encouraged to be busy. It’s deemed as a desirable lifestyle trait for whatever reason to say that you’re in the office until late and partying until dawn. However, this impacts your mind and body in an extremely negative way. As you’re basically robbing yourself of energy for the following day to take care of your most important tasks with a stress-free outlook. Not to mention it saps up crucial time you need to sit back, unwind and, reflect on what’s been happening in your life lately. This step is simple, to cut back the stress, you need to cut back your to do’s.
Sleep More
With a lack of sleep having a devastating impact on your health, wellbeing, and concentration, sufficient sleep is critical to help you live an almost stress-free life. When you stay up late to fix a problem, complete a work project, or spend every weekend out on the town, you sacrifice your health and wellbeing and your stress levels sky-rocket. Your sleep is essential to give your body the time it needs to rest, recharge, and reflect on whats going on in your life. And so, prioritizing your sleep is non-negotiable. Decide on a set time each evening to hit the hay and get some shut-eye. If you find on waking for work you still feel groggy, try going to bed earlier the following evening. Keep doing this until you’ve found the amount of sleep that works well for you, to relieve stress and take on the next day with ease.
To live an almost stress-free life, you need to make a conscious effort to do the following; tackle your urgent to do’s as soon as you can. Cut down your unnecessarily busy schedule. And make sure you’re spending enough hours per night snoozing.
