Sometimes we need to slow down and take stock for the sake of our own mental health.
We are always busy and find it difficult to relax.
We are faced with an influx of horrific news stories on an hourly basis.
Anthony Tran
We are constantly comparing ourselves to the highlight reels on other peoples social media accounts.
Its all just bloody exhausting.
It has become embedded in our minds that no is a bad word.
Thats because the word no is often used in situations of defiance, rejection, and negativity.
This little two-letter word has gumption and can often provide you with enough defence to protect your energy.
If something is going to make you unhappy or uncomfortable, say no.
If you just dont have the energy required for something, say no.
If you simply dont want to go somewhere or do something, say no.
If you want to say no, just say no.
Practice listening to your intuition.
The only person who will ever truly know what you actuallyneedis you.
Use your intuition to determine what you need.
Whether you need love and comfort or if you need time alone to recoup.
Whether you need rest or if you should probably go dancing.
Your intuition knows what you need, so practice tuning in.
Every once in a while, analyze what impacts your energy levels.
Notice your feelings and energy around certain people and situations.
How do certain people make you feel when youre around them?
How do certain situations make you feel when youre in them?
Its okay to cut the ties from certain people and things, even if they once served you well.
Eliminate toxic people and try your best to avoid toxic places and situations.
We are forever changing, and sometimes things have to come to an end.
Eat well, get enough sleep, drink water, and exercise.
Give yourself the best chance of inner peace by looking after yourself in the physical sense.
Be conscious of your thoughts.
They say that the majority of things we worry about never even eventuate.
We spend a huge amount of time and energy worrying and letting negative thoughts rule our lives.
Similar to listening to your intuition, this is a skill that can be developed.
Whenever you feel a negative thought creeping in, tell yourself, Nope, not today.
Stop it immediately in its tracks, dont fuel it.
And then change it completely.
Replace your negative thoughts with something else something happier, something better, something brighter.
Surround yourself with the good and you will be more inclined to have good thoughts.
Declutter your home donate or get rid of anything that you dont love or no longer need.
A clean environment can lend a hand to creating a clear mind.
We all have enough on our plates, so try and unburden yourself when possible.
These six steps are all easy and actionable right now.
