The more grateful you are, the better you will feel. Stop stressing about the things you don’t have or want and pay attention to all that is before you. You have a lot more than you think.
4. Be as mindful as possible.
Being mindful plays a big role in your well being. If you don’t pay much attention to the moment before you, things will fall through the cracks. Pay attention to what you’re doing and be more in the moment. Tomorrow is not always promised let go of the things that are stressing you and appreciate the time you have already.
5. Pay attention to your breathing.
Pay close attention to your breathing. Take deep breaths and really calm yourself when you’re feeling overwhelmed. This will de-stress not only your mind but also your body. Breathwork is important.
6. Show yourself kindness.
Always be kind to yourself. Don’t be too judgy or harder on yourself than you would be on others. If it’s not that big of a deal, don’t make it out to be.
7. Cry if you need to.
When we are emotionally built up, we need to cry. Crying allows you to release all of the things you’re holding within. Let yourself go from time to time. There is nothing wrong with showing your emotional side.
8. Let go of the things holding you back.
Stop holding onto the things holding you back. Allow yourself to let go and even if it is hard, keep at it. If you feel like life is bringing you down, make the changes that you need to make in order to build yourself back up.
9. Meditate for at least 20 minutes a day.
Spend some of your time meditating. Whether it is in the morning or at the end of the day keep at it. This is a way to cleanse your soul and keep your mind as it should be.
10. Go for a walk in the rain.
When you are at your emotional worst, a walk in the rain will clear your mind and allow you to release the pain within. Walk in the rain and let it really seep into your being. Once all is said and done, move forth with a new light.
11. Get rid of social media.
The more time you spend away from social media the better. Social media creates a lot of stress in our lives and getting away from it will make you feel a lot better. While it will be hard at first, it will be worth it in the long-run.
12. Cut ties with toxic people.
Stop letting toxic people have a place in your life. Cut ties with any and everyone who wants to hurt you or bring you down. They don’t belong in your life and you shouldn’t waste your time on them.
