7 Ways to Cheer Yourself Up if You are Constantly Busy

1. To do what you never have time for

When we are constantly busy, we often dream of a free minute to spend it on an activity that we think will help us feel much better. For example, go for a walk in the park, take a bath, cook a favorite dish or tie a hat.

Try to give in to your desires and watch how it will affect you. Perhaps you will have such a rest and "recharge" that you will have time to do no less than what you are usually busy with, whether it is studying, working or raising children.

2. Apply the principle "change is like rest"

This is not quite true, but changes can improve the mood. Change the environment and work, for example, at another desk in the office or in a new coffee shop, if you work remotely .

You can also change something in your usual daily routine and perform routine actions in a different sequence or in a different place. For example, do exercises not in the bedroom, but in the living room, or check your mail in the evening instead of in the morning.

When we are busy, we rarely have the mental energy to plan such changes. Therefore, you may have to come up with them on the go.

3. Leave for the weekend

After a long week filled with work and household chores, it is not always possible to recover on Saturday and Sunday . And if the to‑do list is constantly updated with new items, it may seem that you will never really relax. A short trip with an overnight stay or at least for one day will not only allow you to change the situation, but also literally distance yourself from business.

4. Do something familiar, taking your time

For example, slowly drink a cup of coffee, really feeling the taste of the drink, or take a long leisurely shower. This will allow you to relax and enjoy the moment.

5. To complete a short task that was constantly postponed

Find in your to-do list an item that has been "languishing" there for a long time and does not give you rest, and do it. Try to choose a case that will take no more than 15 minutes. For example, to disassemble documents on the desktop or sew a button on a shirt. This way you will not only reduce your to-do list, but also reduce your stress level.

6. Take a walk

This simple activity can change your mood, charge you with physical energy and "unload" your thoughts. Go to the nearest park or to your favorite street and spend time alone with yourself.

7. Rethink barriers

Try to complete the sentence: "I can't (the desired action) because (the barrier that prevents )". For example: "I can't take English courses because I won't be able to combine my studies with work."

Make up three sentences with different actions and barriers, and then for at least one option find a way to bypass the barrier and perform the action. Show ingenuity and resourcefulness and forget about perfectionism. For example, in courses, you can agree on a flexible schedule of classes or redistribute hours at work in order to keep up with both.

You can also use sentences with the condition: "To perform (action), there must be (condition)". For example: "In order for me to go for a walk, it must be sunny." In this case, you need to decide whether you can perform the action without observing the conditions, even if the result turns out to be imperfect.

In order to change thinking and get rid of barriers, a creative approach is required. You can develop this skill if you practice regularly and make an effort to generate new alternative ideas.
