Common conclusions
Though staying connected through digital means is important, it doesn't necessarily have to translate to seeing your phone every few minutes. Turn off the notifications and ensure that you see social media or respond to messages only at certain times of the day. This is important to allow you to focus on other things in your life as well. Studies have also shown that you tend to be more productive and less stressed about what's happening on social media.
Reading is a great stress buster, and at the same time, it helps you learn new things and improve your language. Scientifically, reading is known to help your brain make the right nerve connections and relax you.
Though you need to be productive, it doesn't mean running and doing one task after the other all the time. Sometimes, it helps to relax and unwind and have some time alone to do the things you like. This could be cooking for pleasure, sleeping, reading, watching a movie, or just about anything else that you think will relax you. This is important, so you are refreshed and ready to start rerunning your daily chores.
Schedules and notes are a great time-saver as they give a better structure to your day. This is more important, especially when you are always racing against time to finish all your tasks. When you approach a new task, it can feel too overwhelming. But when you break it down into small chunks and put a schedule against each, you will feel much better about it. More importantly, you'll be able to finish it as well.
One of the best words that are sure to guarantee good mental health is the word "no." While you don't have to use it often, never hesitate to say no if something is too much for you to handle. This is important because saying yes to every task that comes your way can be overwhelming and can make you tired and irritated quickly. So, save the trouble and refuse to take anything more than what you can handle.
In general, living a relaxed life can give you a lot of peace of mind, and you'll find that you're in much better mental health to handle all the problems that come your way. Running a rat race never gives you anything except physical and psychological fatigue, and it is not sustainable for long periods. So, choose a life that is geared just for your needs so that you can make the most of it.
Continue with what you do, and you're sure to find peace and tranquility.
