In this video, we'll talk about a guide to organizing your life.
Are you ready to take control of your life once more and learn how to organize it so you can enjoy better
mental well-being?
Then keep watching to discover a few top tips, how to reduce your obligations and commitments.
The first step is to look at your various obligations and commitments.
Do you really need all of them in your life or are there some activities that you can quit to give yourself
more time to unwind or spend with those who really matter?
It's time to weed out anything that you can't live without or that makes you anything less than happy
if it isn't necessary.
You don't love it and it's possible to ditch it, then let it go next.
Be selective when taking on any new activities or pastimes before you agree to anything or leap right
into something new.
Take the time to think about it.
Do you really want to do this new activity?
Will it add something positive to your life or will it drain on your emotional resources?
Make a decision based on your answers to those questions?
A Guide to Reducing Social Media Use.
Social media has proven to be one of the biggest causes of FAMO.
It stands to reason that we look at other people's profiles and often feel jealous of the lives that
other people seem to be living.
However, it's important to remember that in most cases people present the image of their lives that
they want others to see rather than depicting the real truth of their situation.
A family member can appear to be perfect on a Facebook profile, but the members could all be suffering
on the inside without those scrolling past recognizing it.
Never compare your inside to other people's outside.
If you're finding social media, platforms are causing you to struggle mentally or you're finding that
you're spending more and more time scrolling through pages rather than getting on with your life, it's
time to reduce your social media usage.
How do you get started with this?
Short of actually deleting your profiles, you might find that a simple place to begin is simply to
sign out of your profiles when you finish checking them.
If you have to go through the rigmarole of signing in every single time you want to check your notifications,
you'll soon begin to reduce your usage.
If this doesn't work for you, you should try leaving your phone in another room or in an indispensable
location for part of the day and never keep it by the bed at night.
This will help you to limit the amount of time you spend on social media, how to reconsider your routines.
Are your routines causing you mental strain?
Then it's time to give them an overall.
It can be all too tempting to stay stuck in a rut because change is scary.
But that's rarely a good cause of action when you've lost control of your life.
Take a look at how you spend each day.
Is it working for you?
Which elements are causing you to struggle?
How could you move them around to make life easier or less stressful?
For example, if you've scheduled a workout at the gym before you go to the office, but you're struggling
to get out of bed because you're so exhausted and then find it difficult to focus at work for the rest
of the day because you lack energy.
It's time to look at how you can make adjustments.
Consider moving the gym to after work or even to your lunch hour and take some extra time in bed so
you can be well rested and increase your productivity at work.
Just say now one of the best things you can do to organize your life more effectively is to just say,
no, don't be afraid of hurting.
Other people are losing their friendship or love.
Nobody who cares for you will think any worse of you if you back out of an ongoing commitment that you
don't have time for or if you refuse to attend an event or participate in an activity because you simply
can't fit it into your life.
Saying no can be very difficult, especially if you've never really done it before.
However, once you start practicing, you'll find it very liberating.
You will never need to accept an invitation that you don't want to accept again.
You'll never need to go to an event that you dread or participate in a time consuming activity just
because someone else wants you to.
Sometimes it's OK to put yourself first.
And when you're trying to take back control of your life and improve your mental wellbeing, it's perfectly
acceptable to decline politely.
