The Importance of Relieving Stress & Living More Intentionally
Many people are living a life that is not in alignment with their values and goals. One of the reasons for this is that they are too stressed out or distracted by life events to pause a minute and think about what they want, to look at the big picture. This article will hopefully provide you with some life and well-being hacks that will help you relieve stress and live more intentionally.
Make the Most out of Your Life by Relaxing and Taking Breaks
This section is all about how to make the most out of your life by taking breaks. We often forget the importance of taking breaks and that it can be a good thing to take a day off for yourself every now and then, particularly when you need it or for a special occasion. There are many benefits to taking intentional breaks throughout your day, such as having more energy, being able to concentrate better, and feeling less stressed. Be aware that an intentional break is not the same as letting yourself get distracted by social media or something else. The idea is to disconnect from your devices and do something else, a walk outside, take a snack, or even chat a little bit with a colleague or friend. This should prevent you from feeling stressed out or burnt out but it only works as a preventative measure not to fix burnout.
Make the Most out of Your Life by Cutting Down on Distractions
The average person spends several hours a day on social media, scrolling through their feeds and checking notifications. This is a lot of time and energy that could be invested in other activities such as reflection, hobbies, planning, deep work, or deep rest. The good news is that we can cut down on distractions and have a more fulfilling life with simple steps. The first step is to set limits for the amount of time you spend on social media each day, or limit the number of notifications you receive from your favorite apps so they don't interrupt your daily routine. You can also go more drastic and block social media from your phone or computer so you are not tempted to spend time scrolling through the feed. Lastly, make sure to not over-commit yourself with too many activities at once - it's important to give yourself some rest every day too!
