Top Ten Strategies to "Downsize" Your Life
When life becomes too busy and too stressful to enjoy, then it's time to stop and rethink what is/isn't most important!Remind yourself often of the benefits that you will receive. Ex; more time for self, more time with family.
We can't reach our dreams without motivation
Everyone needs some motivation
First we need to know what we are spending most of our time doing and is it working.
Make a "to do" list that is manageable and not too overwhelming. Being better organized will allow you to have more time and opportunity to relax and enjoy life.
By using our time more efficiently and by working on our highest priorities (of the day) we can become better organized, more effective and focused.
Don't take life too seriously! You will make mistakes, we learn through our mistakes. Take time to find the humor in life. After all, isn't life meant to be enjoyed? Enjoy yourself, sit back and reflect on how much you have accomplished in your life.
Stop limiting yourself! Negative beliefs about yourself will affect your thinking and your actions. Remember, your personal behaviors are under your control.
Constantly say to yourself "I will be on time for my appointments. " "I am in control of my schedule. " Thinking positive about yourself will influence your behaviors.
Most of the time when you change in one area you'll start improving in other areas --such as becoming more productive at home and work.
Go for your Dreams! Becoming inspired to create/reach goals that are in line with your passion--helps you to feel more satisfied, more fulfilled and more successful.
Talk to a friend or someone you "look up" to who seems to be well-organized and efficient. Ask them how they became so organized. Most people are willing to share their tips/secrets to being in control of their time/life.
