We won't always be able to satisfy everyone's wishes
Being rushed is the fastest way to despair. On the other hand, having nothing to do can also be harmful. Working productively in a relaxed way means striking the right balance. This means that you need to expand your comfort zone, but not get out of control and go crazy in the process. Easier said than done, you might think, but this is exactly the positive perspective you need to get things done.
The method you need to follow to do this is to set heavy load and light load time intervals for each day. During the heavy load period you have to give it your all, and for the light load you have to slow down the pace. The only thing you need to do to avoid being too busy all the time is time control. Take stock of the day and distract yourself to rest and re-energize. Don't fool yourself, you have enough time to take a few minutes and do this.
Also keep in mind that you can't always fulfill everyone's wishes because people can take advantage of you that way. Sometimes you may have to set strict boundaries. We all have obligations in our lives, but you shouldn't disturb your own comfort by saying yes to everyone. Say no to most things so that you can say yes to the right things.
Intuitively, we all know that helping someone in need makes us feel great. Because lasting happiness comes not from what we get, but from making a difference in the world through what we give.
The math behind this is quite simple. Any kind act releases serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is incredibly beneficial and makes you feel more joyful. Another benefit is that not only will you feel good, but people who see your positive behavior will also release serotonin and be happy.
Research has shown that people who are able to discuss important problems with a few close friends are happier. Also, did you know that the average human mortality rate is 2 times higher in lonely people?
Good relationships, as it may be, are as precious as gold. The important thing here is not how many friends you have, but how much effort you put into these friendships. Even the strongest friendships and the best relationships can unravel and break up if they are not cared for enough, and although it may be too much to think about, intimacy with someone is something you have to continually earn. So you shouldn't take it for granted, you shouldn't take it for granted that this person will always be there for you. Whenever you get together with people close to you, you are strengthening your bonds and increasing your level of happiness. It's a win-win situation for both parties.
So don't wait to make big plans with your loved ones. Spend time together and plan together. Communicate clearly and openly on a regular basis. Do something together every chance you get.
Put away your smartphone, turn off your computer and enjoy your time together, face to face, as it should be. Remember that there are not many things that can replace a good conversation, a hearty laugh, a long walk, a night out with friends, the happiness that comes from hugging each other.
Things that may seem quite ordinary can become extraordinary when done with the right people. Choose to be around these people and spend as much quality time together as you can.
