16 Ways to Calm Yourself When Life is getting difficult

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. Eat what you want. Watch series. Go wild.

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

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

5

Educate yourself

Research what it is you are experiencing. Arm yourself with knowledge and resources to tackle the problem head-on.

6

Preparation

Write the day's to-do list the evening before.

7

Strengths

Write down a list of 20 of your strengths.

8

Keep going forward

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

9

Re-visit an old hobby

If you don't have one, create one. Paint. Read. Sculpt. Gardening.

10

Prioritize

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

11

Sleep

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

12

Be silly

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

13

Relax

Lie in an open field and stare at the clouds.

14

Self-talk

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

15

Journal

Develop a habit of Journaling. This will help free your mind.

16

Life is a journey

Remind yourself that life is a journey. Remember that what you're going through is temporary, it will pass.
