We'd lover to know your favourite ways of practicing self-care too, so why not leave us a comment? 1. Learn how to pace yourself When you pace yourself, not only are you more likely to meet your obligations, but the entire process becomes much more tolerable too. The reason it becomes more tolerable is because: You have time to think and evaluate whether your current technique is working, or not. You have time to mix more enjoyable or relaxing tasks in between each of your obligations. You have more time to work something out, if you're struggling to find a solution.

6 ways to navigate decision fatigue
It's no secret that making decisions can be daunting, especially when there are multiple options to consider. The more significant the impact of the choice and the greater the number of options, the more challenging it becomes to decide. Depending on a person's general stress tolerance, decision-fatigue or decision-apathy can set in. The good news is that there are ways to mitigate the effects of decision-fatigue, and reduce the stress of the decision-making process. 1. Recognise the signs The first point is to recognise the signs of decision-fatigue, because it's easier to thwart it in its tracks, than to resolve it once it's set-in.

6 ways to feel happier, when you really feel sad
Hear me out on this one, because I have lived with depression for a long time. For me, medication wasn't really that effective, so I really had to max out on many other things - things which I could change.

You will have heard of some of these no doubt, but my hope is that you find something a little different, which you haven't tried before. Doing these things have helped me eliminate 75% of my depression medication. 1. Ask yourself this question...

Take some time to be in the moment Being in the now also known as mindfulness can help with stress, anxiety and depression.

Some will find that focusing on different parts of the body at a time works for them, whilst others will find that focusing on their breath works for them.
