How to Get Your Life Back in Order Get rid of the negativity in your life. Put family and friends which bring too much negativity toward you on freeze for now. Dont start any trouble with them, but be less reliant on them. Also, cut back on negativity yourself! Whenever you think something negative, say to yourself, Thats negative and unnecessary. Keep saying that to yourself until your brain stops completely. 2Cut back on unnecessary activities to free up time. Any activity that does not produce a tangible result or lead you to success you can put on freeze. For example, cutting back on a movie or going on the computer to go on AIM half as often would suffice. But be careful about choosing which things in your life are important to you and which are not. To avoid common errors, first make a list of things (on paper!) that you normally do on a daily and/or weekly basis and put how much time you spend on each activity. Then, take the items on that list and lightly cross off the things that are useless in your life and you spend too much time on. For example, if you watch TV for 5 hours a day, youre definitely wasting some time in your life. If it has something to do with another person, specifically family, do not cross it off as doing this could affect the other person badly. Next, look at all of the things you crossed off and then at the things you still have on your other list. Does this seem reasonable? Could you live without the things you crossed out? Our main goal is to get you to stop spending too much time on useless thing Create a weekly goal list using three colors. A black priority would be something that has to be done at a certain date and time, without any exceptions. A red priority would be something that has to be done by the end of the day. An orange priority would be something that has to be done within less than one-seven hours. Dont look past 7 days until the priorities are met. 4Buy a few hundred index cards, or 2-3 packs. Keep at least a half of a pack with you at all times. They are valuable in social events and allow you to capture ideas onto paper, so you will never forget anything. Knowing that all of your problems are in your pocket will take away stress because you can stop thinking about them and start thinking about other important things. Organize most of your computer files into 5-15 folders to make sure you have your digital priorities straight. Example folders: Work, School, Research/Reading, Personal Writings, Weekly Goals, Music, Photos, Reminders. 6Write down 10 strengths you have and how you can use them to your advantage. Write down 10 weaknesses you have and how you can improve them. Try to improve yourself a little bit everyday but at the same time keep this quote in mind: Complete perfection is bliss, but when perfection is met with humanity, its useless. Never use the word perfect. Use improved instead. The process of improvement is slow, but if you try to improve yourself everyday, in 6 months, the next list you write will be very different. Build self-esteem. Dont compare yourself to other people and do not limit yourself to the standards of the consensus. To a certain extent, forget judgmental strangers and give yourself enough room to grow. Make physical changes to remind yourself that you are a new person. A haircut and new clothing would suffice. Also, cleanse yourself spiritually and mentally to begin a lasting new lifestyle. Meditation is a good way to do this. Spend 10-20 minutes a day thinking about what you did, what you are doing, and what you will do. Think about ways to save money, become healthier, and improve yourself. Dont spend any more than 20 minutes a day thinking, otherwise that will lead into procrastination. Try to think during downtime such as waiting on a line or riding a bus. Having self-discipline would be helpful. The company of friends and herbal remedies are perfect solutions to stress.
