9 Aspects Of Life You Must Handle If You Want To Be At Ease

November 8, 2019 By Christine Field

Life isn’t as straightforward as we’d like it to be, and that’s fine. It can get a little frustrating and crazy a lot of the time, but we wouldn’t have it any other way, would we? The stresses and strains aren’t exactly pleasant, but they make the highs feel so much better. The balance of life and the balance of our minds means that we need to experience toil in order to feel the full benefit of the positives. If everything was amazing all of the time, then we’d get bored of it, and that would only lead us down a route of endlessly searching for happiness and stimulation.

That said, you have challenges in life, and it’s up to you to make the best of those challenges. How do you do such a thing? Well, the first thing you need to do is get into the right headspace. If everything is fine internally, then it makes all of the external issues feel like cakewalks – even if they are relatively difficult to overcome. If you’re in a bad place personally, then everything will feel like a mountain climb. Once everything (or most things) are handled in your own mind, then you should be ready to do life a little better! It’s just a case of actually clearing your mind. 

 

Because your life is full of so many different aspects, that means you have so much going on at one time. If a bunch of these facets of life are causing a struggle, then that’s only going to have a negative impact on your life as a whole. You need to get to the bottom of these things somehow. They might seem like tedious affairs, but once they’re addressed, you can then move on and progress. 

 

What aspects of life are we talking about exactly? Well, each person has different priorities, but we all kind of share the same experiences and worries. If you want a better life, then you need to have clarity in most of these:     

Your Work Ethic

 

People that are constantly on the move tend to have fewer things running around in their heads. It’s not an exact science, but it’s more than just a little coincidence. If you’ve ever had lots of important and exciting priorities on your plate, then you’ll know that your focus immediately turns to that. Because the mind is full of productive and essential jobs, one will have very little time to worry about the small stuff going on. They won’t disappear for good, but their value will fall off a cliff! 

 

One of the best ways of clearing your head is to constantly be on the move doing something. If you sit around too much, that’s when the overthinking can come in. Work ethic is also something that you should think about in terms of your life overall. Do you feel as though you put as much effort into things as you should? When you know you’re not giving as much as you can, it tends to play on your mind. Force yourself to do more if you feel as though you must – it’ll improve your life and put a slight halt to any negativity.  

 

Your Job

 

People often talk about how work life isn’t everything – and they’re right, but it’s still an important part of life. You need to make sure that your job is absolutely the right thing for you. Nobody likes heading to bed on a Sunday evening and dreading the week ahead. If you can, try to find something that suits you or makes you happy. Work takes up a huge portion of your existence, so you’ll want to get it right. Sure, many people can get trapped in a particular job – at least try to find something different, though. 

 

If you’re okay with where you are, but you still have a few qualms with how things are going, then you’ll need to open up to someone within the hierarchy. Don’t let things sit and stew. Talking about issues will help to clear your mind in this regard. 

 

Your Domestic Life 

 

In order to make most things in life better, you need to sort out everything at home. This goes for the energy around the home between the residents and the individual aspects that make up the place. If your domestic life is struggling, then everything else around will suffer. If you’re doing well at home, then you won’t have those nagging issues constantly hovering in the back of your mind. 

 

Housework is never finished, so you’ll also have something to do – it’s just a case of keeping them to a minimum. If you have, say, plumbing issues, then they can really play on your mind as you handle other areas of your life. Thankfully you can head to places like mrrooter.ca/toronto and receive service for this kind of thing. We live in an age now where we can get what we want with a snap of our fingers almost. Focus on those kinds of problems when you can, and your mind will be a lot more at ease. Letting them sit will only exacerbate things. 

Your Overall Outlook 

 

This is quite a tricky one because it’s not something that you can just switch on and off. The way you view the world is based on years and years of feelings and experiences. Your attitude towards people and things is shaped by your history. If you live life with a negative outlook, then you’re constantly going to be saying bad things about everything. You’ll also worry a lot about trivial things in life because you’re expecting terrible instances to be around the corner all the time. 

 

A positive outlook is the right way to go. Obviously, you shouldn’t be too positive all the time because then you might become a little delusional, but looking at the brighter side is the right way to go most of the time. Your issues don’t go away completely, but you’re in a much clearer headspace when you see things as positives. Try it. Practice placing a good spin on things. If you do it enough, then it’ll become a habit that you’ll struggle to kick!

 

Relationships 

 

Much like work, relationships aren’t everything in life. They, again, play quite a big role in one’s happiness, however. If you’re a lone wolf, then good for you – that kind of solitude is something a lot of us wish we could live with! We are creatures that need to be around others, however. Whether it’s a love interest, a friend, or a family member, you’ve got to make sure those relationships are tight. We need to love and affection from others to continue, so don’t lose something good. 

 

If your relationship with somebody is plaguing your mind some, then you’re going to have to confront it and get to the bottom of any issues. Your feelings towards people run through your mind many times a day, so clearing that up would do you so much good.

 

Physical Fitness

 

You need to have a decent level of physicality in your life. It not only does wonders for you in terms of your physical health, but it boosts your mental state, too. Your physicality needs to be worked on because you could have serious repercussions if you don’t. When you’re constantly sat around, you might start to worry about how your life is going to go. You think about potential health issues, but you also consider your appearance – don’t worry; everyone does this. Your head will be cleared massively once you start getting into a routine of working out. Give it a go – you have little to lose.  

 

Your Finances

 

Money is the route of most things in this world, and we have to make sure we keep enough of it for ourselves. When you have money troubles, it can weigh heavily on your mind. You’ll always be thinking about the forthcoming bills, and when payday will come along. You’ll wake up every single morning and remember your financial situation.

 

Manage your money wisely. It might sound tedious and difficult, but write out a budget and stay strict. Assign certain amounts to appropriate aspects of life and stick to them.

 

Your Goals And Ambitions 

 

A lot of people stumble through life wondering what they’re actually doing. Now, a mundane, quiet life isn’t bad by any stretch, but people have dreams that they’d like to make real. Have a little sit-down and think about what you actually want out of this life. Don’t wake up every morning worrying about how you’re wasting your precious time on this planet – do something about it. This is obviously much easier said than done, but just planning things out would add a little clarity to your situation.

 

Your Fears

Fears are what stop us from doing the things we want in life. We have fears due to our ancestors needing to survive. Unfortunately, they’ve stuck with us. We don’t need to run and hide from large predators anymore, so our brain fears much lesser scenarios now. Recognize that most of your fears are tiny and in your head. If you can face them head-on, then that will remove so much doubt from your mind.

Hi, I’m Christine

Have you been a wholehearted mother, but time, toddlers and teenagers have moved on? If you are wondering what comes next for you, you’ll feel right at home here.

Or, are you a mom for whom family life has been non-Pinworthy and parenting has been downright painful? I hear ya. There are many of us around.

Are you looking for a life full of exploration and adventure after the nest empties, but maybe you have no idea how to go about doing that? Stick around! We’ll explore adventures together to help you gain more clarity for your own path.

After a couple decades of writing books and articles about parenting, homeschooling and adoption, speaking to homeschoolers and other parent groups, and reaching out to the mom in the trenches who was trying to make the best of it - my kids grew up. Some grew up and grew away. I was determined to find a way out of the pain, emptiness and lack of direction.

For many of us, the journey starts with something we moms are not accustomed to. After years of caring for and serving others, sometimes we forget the beauty and wonder of US. We need to spend some time getting to know the parts of ourselves that have lain dormant, and take the time to explore interests and passions that we set aside.

I’d like to invite you to get the “What’s Next for Mom” workbook and jump into this growing tribe of Moms who are emptying the nest and filling the life! Let’s reignite your Mojo after Mothering!
