Some useful ways to Make Your Life Easier this year

Do not expect that the problems will be solved by themselves. Here are some tips on how to become happier and less tired in the coming year.

1. Take a low-information diet

If your work is not connected with the redirection of information flows, you do not need to be aware of all the world news and events. On a modern person, information falls every minute in the form of mailings, messages in social networks, push notifications. In most cases, you can not help someone else's grief, only get angry or sympathetic, and these negative emotions take away strength and reduce productivity.

Determine the sources that will supply you news, and limit the time you spend on them. The less you know the better you sleep. And longer, if you go to bed instead of reading the tape in social networks

2. Throw out all the junk

Old, ugly, unnecessary things make the premises sloppy, and the mess around them spoils the mood. Eliminate the source of the problem, fill the house with only necessary or pleasant things.

3. Analyze what you are spending time on

Time is a non-renewable resource, but many spend it quite ineptly. Defragment your day like a hard disk on your computer. Think about how you can redistribute employment within a day to leave more time for pleasant pursuits.

4. Make a schedule

Maniacal control of all the events of his life is not necessary, just rewrite the list of cases in the diary and stop worrying that you will forget something. Establish adequate deadlines and solve problems as they occur.

5. Write down ideas

Brilliant thoughts do not always come up at the right time. Write them in a notebook, on a mobile device, anywhere, so as not to forget. Some ideas after a while do not seem genius, others can change your life.

6. Turn the house into a fortress

Let your apartment become the corner in which you will feel safe. Surround yourself with cozy things. Select the spare keys from intrusive relatives who come without an invitation. Allow yourself to turn off the phone or at least switch it to silent mode.

7. Save screenshots that please you

Start a folder in which messages will be stored, which you please and amuse. Confessions of love, praise from superiors, funny correspondence - all this will raise the mood and return faith in yourself, when something in life will go wrong.

8. Stop arguing

Do not try to convince your opponent of your rightness (if you do not get paid for it, of course). This will take a lot of moral strength and time, and the interlocutor, most likely, will remain at the opinion.

9. Use the bed strictly for the purpose

Do in bed pleasant things, including sleep, sex, eating pizza to your favorite TV series. Work and read the news better in another place, otherwise the bed will no longer be associated with a place of relaxation.

10. Find a way to get away from problems

Surely there is something that allows you to for a while distract from difficulties and at least briefly cheer up. Favorite movie, viewing funny pictures, picking up a puzzle, drawing comic characters. Make a list of such things and keep it on hand for an emergency. Use it when you need to quickly remove psychological stress and forget yourself a little.

11. Fight with perfectionism

Not everything should be done ideally. Some things are simple enough to do, others - do not leave it at all. Prioritize and do not try to grasp the immensity.

12. Express your feelings more openly

Of course, not all experiences should be shared. But in some cases this can be useful. First, people will begin to understand you better. Secondly, you will realize that you are not alone in your fears and anxieties. Thirdly, by showing emotion, you are psychologically relaxing.

13. Read more books

Reading reduces the level of stress, expands the horizons, allows you to learn something new and escape from reality into invented worlds, at least temporarily forget about anxiety.

14. Learn to experience separation from people

Friendship ends. You both can remain beautiful people, just you do not connect anything else. Release your friend and do not blame yourself for anything.

15. Say "yes" often

It's not about agreeing to walk with a stranger in a dark gateway. But remember, how many times did you refuse something interesting simply out of habit? You are a responsible adult with chronic fatigue, reports and deadlines, but sometimes you should set off on an adventure to feel alive again.

16. Learn to say "no"

To be good for everyone does not work, sometimes you need to be able to refuse even a request for help, if it is an attempt to do someone else's work with your hands.

17. Learn more about yourself

Start to keep a diary or write memoirs, make a genealogical tree of your family, try all the fruits and find out which one you like most, take a temperament test - get to know yourself closer.

18. Live this

Plans are good, but you do not need to postpone your life for a while. It's nice to believe in the magic "tomorrow", "from Monday" and "in the new year", but nothing outstanding is likely to happen. Live now..
