We need very little to be happy, right, Irene? It's not about money, it's about our well-being achieved through physical and mental health. Excellent tips.
Decluttering your home is HUGE! I declutter daily. Mostly because I find the visual clutter highly distracting. But even for those who can ignore it more easily, there is ample benefit to keeping a tidy home. I’d add to that, decluttering your mind as well! Mental clutter can take a toll on your mindset.
Hi Alexandra, you're SO right! I agree, the visual declutter is super distracting. I'm reminded of this every time I go back to my grandmother's house. She's a hoarder so, imagine, tons of stuff piled up everywhere. Love what you said about decluttering your mind as well! I love to journal because of this. How about you?! How do you declutter your mind?
Very great! Someone wrote to maintain a "to don't do" list 😅 swapping focus, and realize what we believe is so important to do now. Cancel all your plans and do nothing, reminded me about this. 🙏🍀
Yesterday I cleaned the appartment like a mad person after a run, and my gosh, I was soo energised ! I still am today 😄
Cleaning up helps a lot for me to bring clarity and peace. A cluttered room gives me stress. Not to say I'm a super clean or tidy person, but it will never be a complete mess either.
Hi Marie! I'm glad you resonated with the tips!!! And yes, I agree with you—my mind always feels clearer, calmer, and more peaceful after I clean my room/apartment. It's amazing how your outside can influence your inside, right?!?!!
So exciting to read your take on something that's been on my mind lately - what can you do for yourself when feeling low (and I wrote a pub about it too). I'm a huge fan of walks, being with nature and surrounding myself with positive-energy people.
Thank you for offering suggestions on how to elevate our mood! Personally, I find mopping the floor to be very empowering, especially knowing that Mumu will be walking barefoot on a clean floor. (Before having him, I only cared about myself wearing clean slippers, which led to nearly a month of neglecting vacuuming and mopping the floor.)
One challenge I'm currently facing is staying up too late. I used to be an early bird, but with Mumu, I can only accomplish tasks without interruptions after he falls asleep. After completing household chores and relaxing, I typically start studying around 12-2 A.M. and continue until 4 A.M. I really need to learn how to strike a balance between getting enough sleep and learning to my heart's content!
Hi Rose! Thank you so much for reading! It's great that you find mopping empowering! It's amazing how priorities shift once we become responsible for others, right? As for staying up late to study, finding balance can be hard, especially with Mumu. I think you're doing an incredible job, Rose - taking care of Mumu, chores, and studying. But also don't forget to take care of yourself, too, and sleep whenever you can! 🫶

Couldn't have said it better myself, Denis. You're 100% right. 👌And thank you so much!

Hi Patrick!! Thanks so much for sharing that tip about writing a "to don't do" list! I've never tried it before so may give it a shot. 😝
Each one of them works! Thanks for the great list. I'd also add go for a chilled out run for myself :)
Hi Prachi, thanks so much for reading! Oooh, a chilled out run sounds enjoyable and relaxing! 👌
Pretty solid advice!
Thank you, Harun!
I like all of the tips.

Hi Sylwia, I'm happy this post resonated with you! It's amazing how even a short walk in nature can make all the difference, isn't it? 😊
