Living fast takes up a lot of your health and affects your relationships. The pressure to express yourself and pursue an impossible wish makes you want to have a simpler and more peaceful life than ever. By adjusting your schedule, rearranging your priorities for life issues, and changing your physical environment, you will be able to live the way you have always expected.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Adjusting a Schedule

1. 

   Slow down. There are times when you work so hustle that you don't even realize you've lived so fast.Simply saying "Slow down" will help you to pause for a moment and see things. This step is mentioned first so you can remember it throughout this article and apply it to your life.
   • Avoid taking too many things on yourself. Doing more than one thing is already quite common, if not normal. Research shows that the quality of your work is at risk when you try to focus on too many things at once. Just because everyone is doing that doesn't mean you have to.
   • Find a limit to cut down on the amount of work you can do well. The goal is to do well at work so that you feel comfortable and satisfied with your accomplishments.
   • Do nothing as if do something. Doing nothing can be an art. Many people find it difficult to take the time to stop and put things together. However, take 5 minutes to take a break and relax.

2. 

   
   
   Limit making commitments. If you recently committed to something, keep going until the work or event is over. However, from now on, you should make less of your commitment. It may be difficult at first, but focus your thoughts on simplifying your life that will give you invaluable peace. Let the ultimate goal motivate you and ease your feelings of shame.
   • Limit the number of times saying "Yes" by keeping a check on your schedule. First, decide on the “level of relaxation” so that you can comfortably do about how many events. Next, follow that number! No one can forever be a perfect person by saying "Yes" all the time.
   • When someone invites you to an event, don't respond immediately. Take a few minutes to think about whether the event will help your life. If that doesn't help, it can be said like this "Thanks for inviting me, but unfortunately I can't come."
   • Develop your ability to say no and say "no" by expressing your thoughts. Sometimes, some people will not accept "no" as an answer. Here is a suggestion for you to share a little information with others in order to set a line for yourself. Consider saying the following: “You are kind to remember me, but I am making some changes in my life that are important to myself, my family, and my health too. Unfortunately, I must refuse ". People will usually support your decision.

3. 

   
   
   Avoid unnecessary shopping. The thought of being extravagant and bragging can describe your life. It requires you to spend wastefulness or luxury in an attempt to show your noble social status to others. Living simply will quickly cut down on the number of "unnecessary items" you are used to buying them. The goal is to cut down on extra expenses so that you won't be tied to some financial obligation.
   • Ask yourself if you really need a third-generation tablet, the latest electronic components, or enjoy a take-away coffee twice a day in the car. Just say "no" to yourself, and say "yes" to your wish for a simpler and more peaceful life. Each time you are faced with a decision, you can make an informed decision.
   • Find happiness from the simple things in life by spending time with friends, being in nature, or building something yourself. The real rewards you get will motivate you to live well and be completely satisfied with your life.

4. 

   
   
   Organize the house in order. Humans create the world around them and fill the world with many objects. If you want to simplify your life, take a look at your surroundings and get organized. A tidy house is good for your health. Getting rid of excess items that you no longer use will help you organize your home neat, control your emotions and thoughts. When the world around you is no longer messy, your inner world will also be clear and unambiguous.
   • Set aside at least 10 minutes a day to organize your surroundings.
   • Take weekends or days off to do more important things, like cleaning the toilet, closet, and garage.
   • Divide objects into three categories: Retain; charity donation; and leave. Giving away used light items to charities will give others the opportunity to use those items and create jobs for people handling charity work. For charity, you are helping the community, which will help you increase your self-esteem.

   Make a clear plan and commitment to implementation. Following the problem-solving guidelines will give you a structure to change.

   Write a gratitude diary. The benefits of a gratitude journal include improved sleep, increased health, and enhanced happiness - all of which are essential for a peaceful life. Here's what you need to take care of to get the most out of it:
   • Start with a determination to become happier and more grateful.
   • Include details of the things you are grateful for instead of just saying a few simple sentences.
   • Show gratitude to people instead of for things.
   • Consider how life will change by removing some of the things you care about. This will inspire you to think about some other side of gratitude.
   • Remember to watch out for some unexpected surprises.
   • Don't lose the inspiration to write by forcing yourself to write every day. You may enjoy the habit of writing once or twice a week.

   Train compassion and compassion to feel at peace. The ability to appreciate someone's hard work is an important skill for you to develop. This may be easy for some people, but not for others. You know how you want to be treated, so use that desire as a guide when you try to forgive someone.
   • If you want to train empathy and compassion, start by reaching out to a family member or friend and actively helping them in some way. You can run errands, or be willing to do something simple for them such as loading and unloading goods, or watering plants. The purpose of this exercise is to let others know what feelings and actions you value highly when someone else is doing the same thing for you.

7. 

   Switch from feeling frustrated to feeling grateful to improve your relationships. Most of one's internal and external anxiety arises from conflict with another. As the saying goes, suppressing resentment towards someone is like drinking poison and expecting that person to be poisoned. Thinking about gratitude can help improve your mood and in turn reduce your frustration and resentment. When you feel frustrated, stop yourself and ask yourself the following questions:
   • Am I comfortable thinking about that person?
   • Are negative feelings helpful or harmful to me?
   • Is my thinking of revenge on that person really having an impact on another person?
   • The obvious answer to these questions is always no. Next, respond with gratitude statements such as: I feel comfortable letting go of my resentment towards the person; Focusing on giving up on everything I used to live helps me feel better; I want to wholeheartedly improve my life instead of ruining the lives of others.
