Here are some aspects of life and ways you can begin to improve in them:

Emotional & Mental Well-being:

1. Optimism is the best and first step to bringing a positive change in your attitude. Looking at the brighter side doesn’t mean you ignore the bad parts of life, rather you accept them.  

2. Distance yourself from negativity. If you feel anxious by negativity on the news your surroundings, or a person in your life, try to take a breather and stay away from it for a short while. This time and space will help you calm down and allow you to refresh your mind in the process.

3. Cut down on Procrastination. Procrastination is a habit that makes you unproductive, lazy, and unmotivated about work and other tasks. Make a to-do list for your daily tasks and try the Now or Never mindset to motivate yourself to complete them throughout the day.

Spirituality:

1. Try to help others. Try your best to do something for others daily. It doesn’t have to be a big gesture but just a nice one. Buy a coffee for a homeless person, carry an older person shopping, or listen to a co-worker worries and we guarantee you will feel happier and brighter after doing so.

2. Don’t rush. Try to take even the mundane parts of your life slowly like eating breakfast, walking, or spending time with your loved ones. It allows you to think clearly and be grateful for the simpler things in life.

3. Give your best. No matter what the task is, whether its related to work or a relationship problem, always give your 100%. This way even if you fail, you will have fewer regrets and no more nagging ‘what if’ thoughts.
