- set yourself some daily goals. Keep them realistic and achievable. That will give direction – so you don’t fritter your time.
- read inspirational books and blogs; hang around people who are positive.
- stay in touch with what’s happening in the world. We’re not just islands – we are part of one another.
- make the effort to stay in touch. Just a “like” on facebook, or a brief text message, conveys to that person that they matter to you.
- invest some time in your appearance and health. We’re more confident when we look and feel our best.
- pay attention to your priorities. Do what’s most important, and not most urgent, first. (Note: If you never learn to prioritise then everything seems urgent – and that’s what runs your life!)
- smile. It makes people feel more positive towards you – and it tends to lift our mood, and enhance our feelings, too.
- tidy as you go. It’s easier to work, and you’ll feel a lot less stressed, if you’re working somewhere that’s devoid of clutter. Also, if you tidy as you go then it feels less overwhelming.
- include some margin in your life so you don’t feel so stressed, as unexpected things always eat away our time. Expect that to happen – and leave some extra time.
- take time for yourself as you need to relax, unwind, recover, and recharge your batteries.
