Sometimes it happens that there’s kind of work, and the family is quiet and calm, and friends don’t forget, but still it’s restless at heart. When you feel that the routine is addictive, take a little effort to make life sparkle again.
Instruction manual
one
Keep a diary. Buy a beautiful notebook and a new pen or create a blog on the Internet. Regular recording of occurring events will not only allow them to be recorded, but will also help to look at a particular situation from the side. The diary is a grateful listener who never interrupts. No wonder they say that paper will endure everything. But you can pour out all the unpleasant emotions if it’s hard for you, or at any time reread the memories of joyful events if you need positive emotions.
2
Put your house in order. Feng Shui experts say that the abundance of unnecessary and old things negatively affects the energy of the house and its inhabitants. If you don’t put on some thing or have not used the item for a year, feel free to dispose of it. Cracked plates and cups should be sent to a charitable organization in a garbage bag that has gone out of fashion or boring clothes. Reorganize the space. Move the furniture, throw away the annoying ottoman, grease the hinges, secure the shattered doors. Add color accents in the form of bright sofa cushions or new kitchen curtains.
3
Become a psychologist for yourself. For example, take a piece of paper, divide it into two parts. In the first column, write down all your advantages, and in the second - disadvantages. After analyzing the left column, you will understand what you have, what to be proud of and what to respect yourself for. The data from the right column will help you determine the vector of further development.
4
Learn to live now. Children never plan anything. They live "here and now." If something good happens to them, they rejoice, if something bad happens, they get upset, but soon forget and enjoy life again. Try to take an example from those who have not yet been spoiled by life, conflicts, stress and constant planning. Try to be aware of your feelings, emotions, actions. Such an approach will allow one to live without denying anything and perceiving life in its entirety.
5
Forgive the enemies, let go of past grievances. If you cannot forget some unpleasant episode of your life, mentally lose it again in your head. Imagine you are sitting in a movie theater and watching a movie. Try to remember as many details as possible, remember the emotions that you then experienced. And then come up with an alternative ending to your film. Surely now you know exactly how not to get into a similar situation or what to answer to the offender. Your subconscious mind will “rewrite” the memory. Facts will remain in the past, and negative emotions will be replaced by positive ones.
6
Think of a hobby. In the bustle of everyday life there is very little time left for doing what you really like. Try to devote at least 15 minutes every day to your hobby. During a break at work, you can manage to tie several rows in a new scarf, on the way home in a bus or metro - read several chapters from an interesting book, and in the evening cook an unusual dish according to a completely new recipe. If it is not possible to travel, at least once every two weeks walk around the city, discovering new places for yourself.
7
Solve financial problems. You do not need to be a professional accountant to do this. If you owe money to someone, but you can’t give it in any way, open an envelope, write “thank you” on it and indicate the name of the person you owe. Debt takes energy, and gratitude returns it to you. You are surely grateful to the person who helped you during the difficult period of your life. For every salary and bonus, save 10 percent in this envelope. After a while, you will find that you can easily pay off your debts and even some money will remain for yourself. Stop overpaying for goods in supermarkets, buying what you don’t need, and taking loans.
eight
Go in for sports. Even if you have everything in order with the figure, sports should come into your life. If possible, get a subscription to a good fitness club and go there at least 2 times a week. Engage in a sport that evokes positive emotions in you. Classes in the gym will help not only to strengthen blood and lymph flow, speed up metabolism and restore muscle tone, but also expand the circle of friends. With a lack of time or money for a fitness club, do sports on your own. Walk part of the way from work. This will give you the opportunity to "ventilate your head", breathe fresh air and stretch your muscles, especially if you have sedentary work.
9
Take care of time management. Modern man is so busy that he does not even know how much time he is wasting. It sounds paradoxical, but in fact it is. Install the scheduler program on your smartphone and schedule the next day in the evening. Do not waste time in convenience stores, it is much easier (and more economical) to go to the hypermarket once a week. Find a beauty salon, workshop, and dental office near your work or home. Spend 15 minutes a day cleaning the house daily (daily new area: kitchen, bedrooms, balcony, toilet and bathtub), and you will free up a whole day off for more enjoyable activities.
ten
Learn to think positively. Imagine that you bought a new expensive car. What kind of gasoline will you refuel it with? Of course, the best. Emotions - this is the very gasoline on which you "drive". Find something pleasant even where it, it would seem, cannot be. They caught a cold - there was time to lie in bed and read a book, stumbled on the street - it's time to think about buying a new beautiful and comfortable shoe. The more positive, the faster your life changes.
