Remaining focused on our life goals and keeping our lives in a state of balance is getting more and more difficult in the modern world. Here are some tips to help you maintain your focus and regain the balanced state of your life.
Skip some activities
Take a look at your to-do list and ask yourself, “If I don’t do it today, will something happen?”. Remember not every urgent task is important. Just as not every important task is urgent. The best way to not be overwhelmed is to learn how to simplify life by just doing the things that are really necessary, the things that are not really needed, just let it be, slowly solve it.
Take a deep breath
When faced with a stressful situation, stop for a minute and do this: Take 5 deep breaths. Imagine that each exhale is an exhalation of the tension. Smile, if necessary, pretend to smile. Practice this exercise regularly, at work as well as at home, life will be more comfortable.
Relax yourself
After practicing deep breathing, check to see if there is a place on your body that has not relaxed naturally. Next, gently massage stressed areas to bring your body to a state of complete relaxation or imagine being somewhere that makes you feel peaceful: hot tub, the beach or a country road with peaceful scenery…
Eat slowly, chew well
This is a method that not only helps you learn patience but also has a very effective slimming effect. Eating in a hurry only makes you eat more than you need and can also cause obesity. The best way to practice patience is to eat slowly and take the time to feel the flavors of the food. A lot of evidence has shown that the habit of multitasking is really not effective. The same is true in the case of thinking about multiple issues at the same time (mind frantically jumping from one thought to another without trying to concentrate on analyzing a particular thing). . To solve this problem, a few minutes of meditation or music is really necessary to help calm the mood, so that the mind is less overwhelmed.
Enjoy the journey to your goal
Only aim for the final goal will quickly drain all of your energy. You are pursuing a big goal, which requires a lot of time and patience, so do not rush. Break the journey down into several milestones, and celebrate each passing one. Regular positive feedback will help you be more persistent, more confident, and find more joy in achieving your goals.
Don’t expect yourself to be perfect
Many of us usually want to be perfect. I may say that perfection has become an obsession for many people and the pursuit of perfection has caused some severe effects on many lives. It doesn’t matter if you are not a perfect person. In fact, quite a few people who say they are perfect are usually not true, no one is perfect. We all have something that stops us from being perfect but that’s what makes us human. We are not perfect so others can help us complete ourselves. For many people, they consider perfection as a foreign concept, they accept who they are and what they are lacking, their way of thinking keeps their minds stay in a calm and balanced state.
Practice patience every day
Patience is a virtue that everyone respect and want to have but not many of us naturally have this virtue. Not many of us enjoy waiting, there’s no doubt about that. We all want goals in our life to be completed quickly but sometimes, patience can yield much better results than rushing things. Every day, you can practice your patience and your ability to cope with stress, in simple ways like: When in line at the supermarket, choose the longest line, or take a walk through a park or a secluded country road. …
Be active
Any exercise, from walking or dancing to your favorite rhythm to soccer, badminton, etc., has the effect of “pumping” some feel-good hormones (called endorphins) into the body and mind. . Several studies have shown that staying physically active increases work productivity, enhances the ability to cope with stress, and boosts mood in a positive direction.
