For some reason, a lot of people nowadays tend to be so stressed about things in their lives. Family, friends, studies, work, money, love life. It seems like people are forgetting they are actually in control of their lives. Yes, everything happens for a reason, but then if you keep on watching things happen and not do anything about it, then you are just watching your life instead of actually living it. Life is meant to be lived and it is something you should never forget. It can be pretty stressful and overwhelming, so here are some tips on how to declutter your life and make room for new opportunities and challenges that would make you feel like you’re actually living.

Focus On Your Priorities

One of the reasons why most people tend to get overwhelmed with their lives is that they don’t know what to do first. What you should do if you feel like this, is list down all the things that you have to do and sort them out from the most important to the least important things. Every task that needs to be done right away must be your top priority, focus on the things that must be done immediately because if you just do it randomly and end up doing the unimportant stuffs first then you’ll end up going crazy.

Once you’re done with everything you need to do, think of the other things that you think needs to be done. This way you can finally feel like you’re taking over your life slowly but surely. Doesn’t it feel great to actually get things done and over with? You should feel less stressed.
This is not just for people in school or work, this can also be for a full-time mom who have kids. We all have different roles in life and we should live it the way it is supposed to be lived. Don’t let your life control you, let yourself take over because it is your life and you’re the only one who has the right to control it.

Organization is Key

Not everyone can afford a secretary who can list down and plan everything we do or schedule every appointment that we have. But most people can afford a phone or a planner that is like less than $10. So you should start organizing your life because that way you can actually keep track of what is going on with your life and also if you forget something then you simply check your phone or planner.

It is also a best way to keep you from over-lapping your schedule for certain events and that you can say no to other things since you have prior commitments. But not only that, one of the perks of having an organized schedule is you can actually look back and see if there are things that needs to be improved or if certain things need more attention then you can do a much better schedule.

Spend Time With the People Who Deserves Your Time

This is probably one of the most important things you can actually do to declutter your life. Spending time with the people who actually deserves your time is the best way. It really does not matter who those people are. If it is your family, then spending time with them, especially if you have kids who are growing up too fast that you wouldn’t be able to catch up on their lives or your parents who are growing old right before your eyes. And If your friends are like your family, then spending more time with them to keep the friendship growing.

It does not matter who they are, what matter is how they actually affect your life emotionally and mentally. Just make sure that these people are inspiring you to achieve your goals and live your life instead of them putting you down. You should be comfortable around them and you shouldn’t feel stressed. Hanging out with people who actually cares about you and make you happy can actually motivate you to do things you are meant to do, especially your goals. They should be like stress relievers to you. You can even spend time with your pets if they make you feel so happy and relaxed just by cuddling or playing with you.

In this world we live in, there are a lot of temporary people that come and go. So it is really important for you to pick the ones who really does care and the ones who actually matter to you because time is so precious to be wasted. And with this way, you can actually declutter your life and just be happy to live it.
