Back to Basics

When I feel tired with too much to do, I love to put on my shoes and get outside for a run. 【3】. Getting back to basics can include things like: getting outside, having real conversations with real people, enjoying a meal with a loved one or doing an activity that brings you joy.

Time Management

If life feels like it is out of control and you can't keep up, see what happens when you try to manage your time. There are many time management systems out there that can help. Have event reminders（提醒）on your phone and computer. 【4】. Start your day by writing a list of what you plan to achieve. And sometimes we also need to let go of things that aren’t important.

【5】.

Keeping our deepest desires and dreams alive is the very fuel that keeps our spirits bright. Give yourself the gift of having goals and dreams, and don't allow fear to have a say in how big your dreams may be.
