Opinions on ReviewsBird.com have shown that life can be made more productive even amid a pandemic. You learn through the reviews and opinions of others. Also, you do not miss out on their experiences, some of which are good and some of which are bad.
There are just several ways to make life more fruitful – from reading opinions on education platforms to applying these opinions in your life. Life is not only about making lemonade out of lemons. It is both theoretical and practical. Both simple and complex.
But since we tend towards the easy and simple aspects of life, here are changes you can make to make your life simpler and more enjoyable.
1. Positivity:
Rather than be faced with obstacles, being positive allows you to see strengths and opportunities. It means keeping up, looking up, drawing on your strengths to make up for your weakness. And there are several ways to do that:
- Keep a gratitude journal
- Sleep better at night
- Affirm yourself positively
- Surround yourself with positive people.
2. Make your bed:
As simple as this is, it is the first task you would have completed for the day. Also, it is the first responsibility you commit yourself to. Making your bed prepares you for the day. And when the day goes rough, fortunately, you have a bed to look forward to.
3. Wake up before time:
Being punctual to the beginning of a day is a coveted effort. Even the day will appreciate you. Begin by setting your alarm half before time – say half an hour earlier. Wake up thinking you are late when you are early. Truth is, the mind does always follow through with adjustments. By setting your time later than usual, your mind already adjusts.
4. Don’t overcommit:
This is simply saying learn to say no and yes, even with personal choices. Overcommitment will punish you with burdens beyond your capacity. Do things step by step, project by project. Start from the easiest and then move to the hardest. Do it routinely until such commitment has become part and parcel of your strength.
5. Don’t be so predictable:
Life will never be easy for those whose expectations can always be predicted. Be not static with your ways. Always try new things. Go out with friends even when you’re an introvert. Surprise your family with gifts and visits. Read that book you hate and ride that storm you’ve always been evading.
6. Try gratitude instead:
Rather than complain over something that is not changing, why not try to be grateful. Gratitude fulfills your heart’s desires and allows you to overlook the ugliness in it. The more reason you should keep a gratitude journal. If you were to look intensively, you’d find that there are several things in your life deserving of gratitude.
Conclusion
These simple life changes, although seemingly unimportant, are effective for living a simple life. When habituated, you’d find that it’s the small and simple things of life that constitute the big things. Be intentional with the small and the big await you.
