We don’t live our lives, we just walk past them as stress leaves actually no room for us to enjoy life. But this is definitely not how it should be. We try hard, and life is already pretty tough, so getting rid of stress will allow us to live more and worry less.
Below are 5 steps towards a stress-free life. Even if you don’t entirely eliminate stress, you can at least learn to live despite it
1.Avoid negativity triggers
Focus obsessively on everything positive, get lost in a favorite book, engage with craft-making, socializing. Whatever gets you out of negativity and idleness and into creativity is anti-stress.
Stressed much?
2.Don’t fall into the perfectionism trap.
You’re human, you’re flawed, and that’s what makes you perfectly imperfect! Stop trying to be the best, take a moment instead and be grateful of all your blessings and talents. Don’t linger in the negative.
3.Take up challenges
Often stress is the symptom of being fearful of living, postponing life and dodging the inevitable. Accept challenge and embrace change. Once you stop resisting you will feel more powerful and stress will no longer eat away your spirit.
4.Simplify you daily life
Leave nothing but the bare essentials, which means being courageous enough to refuse, to take rain checks and to reschedule! Stop stressing over commitments you cannot keep up with, instead prioritize your needs and what you would like to commit to, rather than what you should!
5.Destroy that inner pitiless critic
Become your own motivational speaker. If there’s one person that truly (should) cares about you is you, so start acting like one, rather than being a ruthless, self-hating judge. Instead of deprecating your every effort, try to focus on your accomplishment and little life successes, this will allow you to grasp the meaning of life: do what you love, accept what you cannot change.
By letting stress in your life, you allow it to suck on your liveliness. Stop that today and get to enjoy life again!
