Eight Ways to Worry Less and Live More

You’ve probably heard the phrase ‘You only live once’ at some point in time, and there’s a reason that it became so popular. Living life to the fullest can sometimes be easy to say but far more difficult to do because there are so many things that distract you, make you worry and create anxiety in your immediate surroundings. However, the key to living life to the fullest is often to learn to…

Every start of a New Year we come up with resolutions we always want to follow but dies down when we get towards the end of the year. Here are the top 5 resolutions you can keep in mind if you have no clue where to begin.

1. Do Something Different

Whenever you wake up in the morning think of something you can do different today. Now I don’t mean by having an identity crisis and moving to Switzerland but what I mean is a small change.  Lets say one day you are heading to class with your normally “unassigned” assigned sitting. What if you sat somewhere else? Your whole experience of that class will be different based on the new people you meet. Just tweak your day with little changes and life may become unexpectedly more interesting.

2. Be more Optimistic

Learning to think more positive comes a long way when there are obstacles to overcome on a daily basis. Just by waking up, you can be thankful of the little things in life you might not even notice throughout your day. With this tactic, you can revert the negative mentality with an optimistic perspective and conquer any situation. Little do you know, you are setting a prime example for others, soon enough your friends and family will start to notice the difference you are making for yourself.

3. Traveling

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to experience something new for a change? Currently, you are stuck in a small bubble where it can be difficult to break free, take this as a challenge and explore new places. It is a great way to distract yourself from all your responsibilities and get a break from your normal routine. Tell us what places you will be traveling in the future, we would like to know what part of the world you are visiting.

4. Stick to Your Decisions

This year try to be more assertive with your decisions whenever you come across a difficult choice to make. Saying no doesn’t make you a bad person, it just means you are doing what is best for you. I guarantee you will live your life peacefully without any stress. Whenever you go out to eat and you’re not sure whether to get the sandwich or the combo, go for the combo you’ll thank me later.

5. Healthy Lifestyle

Our greatest enemy is being healthy. We have all been guilty of eating those extra spicy Hot Cheetos along with a nice cold refreshing soda on the side. It’s time to change your eating habits and envision a new version of yourself. I am not saying to go on a full on diet but just eat what is right, you know exactly what I mean.  One day whenever you have nothing to do just hit the weights or just go for a jog, you’ll feel a lot better than just being at home looking at your phone all day. Also, eating healthy greens while avoiding meat with a chicken based diet can help prevent global warming.

There you have it, the top five New Year’s resolutions we came up with. Make it your goal to finish the year strong by completing at least a few of your own resolutions. What are your New Year’s resolutions? Share with us your own list.

okay wow. i think this album is seriously under-rated. it’s one of my favourites.

Favourite song: A Day in the Life. I love the two different stories and the story behind the song itself.

"In a review of the field that’s due out this month, Carver and Scheier have further expanded their initial findings to show that increased optimism, after controlling for other factors, also leads to improved career success, strengthens friendships and marriages, protects against loneliness later in life, lowers the risk of heart disease and mortality in women over an eight-year period, protects against strokes, helps to reduce the need for rehospitalization following surgery, and improves sleep quality in children. In all cases, optimism serves as a shield, allowing us to see the world in a light that is more conducive to our own mental and physical well-being."
