Ancient wisdom is there for a reason. Listen to people with a lot of life experience and use it to your advantage. People over the age of eighty who are still vital and energetic often have a positive attitude to life.
Live in the now
Try to concentrate on your activities as much as possible. Perform all your actions with utmost concentration. The chance of errors is then much smaller. Don’t be too busy with all kinds of things at the same time. There is a good chance that at the end of the day you will not be able to think of what you have actually achieved. When you do something with your entire being you enter a ,flow,. Time then seems to stand still. You will feel much calmer at the end of the day.
Take care of yourself
You can’t be there for others if you don’t feel good about yourself. Get enough rest. Go to sleep on time and maintain a regular sleep and wake rhythm. Go to bed at about the same time and get up at about the same time every day. Don’t go crazy over the weekend. Make sure that your weekend pattern does not deviate too much from your weekly pattern. People who are tired are a lot less mentally resilient. Eat well and treat yourself regularly. Wear nice clothes and you will feel a lot more confident.
Always do what you say
If you are straightforward and always tell the truth, you will have a more relaxed life than an inveterate liar. You must always remember what you said to someone. If you promise something, you have to deliver on it. If people trust you, you simply get more credits. Never engage in questionable practices. It takes years to build a good name. However, it only takes you a few seconds to lose face. Being honest just gives you more peace of mind in the long run.
Deal with criticism in a relaxed manner
If people have a lot of comments about your actions, it says more about their views on life and frustrations than about your shortcomings. Listen patiently to comments and comments. However, take them with a grain of salt if you do not recognize yourself in the picture painted. Comments from others then start to dominate your life.
Don’t speculate too much
If something happens, don’t lie there and grind. Don’t think of all kinds of disaster scenarios. It could well be that the other person does not mean a comment as negatively as you think. If in doubt, ask questions and inquire about someone else’s motives.
Go to the extreme
Once you have determined your priorities, you must do everything you can to achieve your goals. A half-hearted approach will not ensure that you achieve your goals. However, you also need to have a long-term vision. If circumstances prevent you from spending a little less time on your goals, you should not immediately lose heart. If your goal is really important to you, you will definitely pick it up again. For example, consider quitting smoking. If this is really important to you, you will probably attempt to quit several times. But perseverance wins: at a certain point you will be able to stop for a while, a longer period of time or forever.
