HOW TO CALM YOURSELF WHEN LIFE IS GETTING TOUGH?

1. Walk: Walking helps clear your mind. It offers you a different perspective.

2. Indulge: Take a day off to spend a whole day doing exactly what you want.

3. Be Generous: Give something to a total stranger. Acts of giving make us feel warm and fuzzy inside.

4. Sit in a coffee shop or a busy street and soak up your surroundings. You don't have to talk to people.

5. Strengths: Write down a list of 20 of your strengths.

6. Keep going forward: Keep taking small steps, no matter what. Being stagnant doesn't serve you.

7. Re-visit an old hobby. If you don't have one, create one.

8. Prioritize: Decide what's important right now. Say no to extra obligations.

 

9. Sleep: Get enough rest. Sleep 7-9 hours each night.

10. Be silly: Do something that you did as a child. Don't take life too seriously.

11. Cry: Release all that emotion. You will feel better.

12. Check your self-talk. Negative self-talk does not serve you.

This will help free your mind.
