It’s very easy to get wrapped up in today’s fast-paced world. There are social engagements to attend to, bills to pay, businesses to run, family and friends to keep up with. So many factors need our undivided attention that it is only normal that our minds from time to turn into a chaotic mess. After all, the mental space is just like a house, we have to do a bit of spring-cleaning in order to keep it running smoothly. When the mind is frantically telling you that it is overdrive, you need to listen and free up some headspace. Of course, most times that is easier said than done.
Decluttering your mind gives you room to have peace and calmness in your daily life. It allows you to stay focused, motivated as well as productive.
Set boundaries
Prioritize the things that matter in your life and that you want to take charge of. What are your goals and dreams? What or who is holding you back from achieving them? Once you figure that out, you can be more conscious of the thoughts you are letting in and how they are influencing you.
Take a moment to reflect on your current relationships and how they are affecting your mental state. If you have a relationship that feels toxic, take a step back and set boundaries. You obviously can’t change the other person, but you can change the way you respond to them.
Limit the amount of your time on social media and media intake
How many hours a day are you spending scrolling through your phone? Most of us are guilty of spending countless hours going through Instagram, watching YouTube videos, reading blogs or media outlets. But the excess of information causes more harm than good. It can clog your mind and end up causing stress and anxiety. Limit the amount of time you spend on social media and be selective about your media consumption, especially when it comes to negative news.
Give your mind time to unwind
It is ok to stop, take a breath, and recharge. Your business will still be there, but it needs you to be present. Give yourself the time t turn off the computer and your phone and go out for a walk. Take a few hours a week and practice a hobby that makes you happy.
