Making significant changes to your life always seems like a massive task. You may think that making a change boils down to one category, such as your mental health, or your fitness. But the reality is that making small changes, and breaking down these components, is going to be better in the long run. Changing your life is not about these big, sweeping statements. Rather, it is about changing your life in small ways. Let’s show you two little ways that can make a large difference.
Addressing Stress Symptoms
When we look at what causes stress, it doesn’t necessarily remove the sensation of it. This is why we have to make a two-pronged attack to tackle stress or anxiety. When we understand the root causes, it gives us a better sense of perspective, but we have to remember that, in a biological sense, we have evolved to have adrenaline coursing through our veins. This isn’t beneficial in our daily lives. Therefore, tackling the symptoms of stress is going to help us. There are many ways that we can do that. Firstly, you need to recognise your stress symptoms, but then find the right tactics to help you cope. There are significant approaches that you can try. There’s deep breathing exercises, meditation, and mindfulness. But there are also aspects that aren’t as widely known. CBD can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and come in easy to use forms, such as CBD gummies. If you can tackle the symptoms, it gives you a better perspective.
Increase Your Resilience
The one thing we fear in life is rejection. Those that are experienced in rejection have increased resilience. And we all cannot bear being told “no,” and by reaching out in life, you may find that you get rejected. But this gives you a temporary dose of negativity but can help you increase your resilience in the long run. Rejection can beat us down if we continue to face it, but this is where we can control rejection to the accent. Think about applying for a job on a semi-regular basis that you would really like, even if you do not think they would respond to you. And in doing this, you may recognise you have nothing to lose but a lot to gain. You can also increase your resilience in one little practice every morning. After your nice warm shower, turn the thermostat to cold. The benefits of negotiating a few seconds of freezing cold water can help you increase your resilience.
It is the small practices that will help you make massive changes. We have to get over this idea that, in order to make any changes to our lives, we’ve got to make massive, life-altering decisions. It doesn’t work that way. Much like a diet is far more beneficial by being a lifestyle choice rather than a temporary change in what you eat, the same thing applies when you are looking to change your life. It will always be the small things that make a difference.
