It's no joke that life can sometimes get the best of us when we are not on top of things. Personally, if I don't take the time to gather my thoughts and get a little organized, my life becomes chaotic.

Have you ever noticed your room or workspace getting cluttered and once you took a step back you realized your head was also a cluttered mess?

This happens to the best of us but instead of being down on yourself and letting it stress you out, take a deep breath and try to work a few of these ideas into your daily routine.

1. Spend quality time with the people you loveĀ 

2. Set a weekly goalĀ 

3. Make a list of the things you need to get done (and actually do them one by one)

4. Don't make plans or commitments you know you can't doĀ 

5. Break things down and take it one day at a time, don't overwork yourselfĀ 

6. Set weekly or monthly budgets and stick to itĀ 

7. Pay attention to the people who surround you and if you notice ones who put you down- let them goĀ 

8. Find one thing that relaxes you and do it every day before you go to bedĀ 

9. Prioritize your plansĀ 

10. Stop procrastinatingĀ 

11. Take a mental health day and let yourself recuperateĀ 

12. Be optimistic about things even if your day started on the wrong footĀ 

13. Make a separate chores list for things you need to get done around the houseĀ 

14. Find something you can do/ have all to yourself and embrace itĀ 

15. Talk yourself through situations that give you anxietyĀ 

16. Communicate with others and don't be afraid to ask for helpĀ 

17. Get a coffee and get to work on the things you keep putting offĀ 

18. Be your biggest fan and always reassure yourselfĀ 

It's time to stop letting stress bring you down. When the world around us gets us in a funk the best thing to do is stop, breathe and focus on yourself. Getting your things together before freaking out and letting the stress eat you alive is crucial.

Being busy and stressed out 24/7 doesn't get you anywhere. See how much happier you become when you find your triggers and remove stress factors out of your life.
