Strategy #1: It is what it is
You’ve heard this saying, and you’ve probably said it yourself. But have you lived up to it?
Every time you try to fight what life is handing you, you’re just creating a struggle for yourself.
This is one of those practices that is ongoing. Practice accepting 'it is what it is' in each moment.
Strategy #2: Confront your feelings
Stop with the “I’m fine” speech.
If you’re feeling something (negative, positive, or anything in between), show yourself some respect and allow yourself to experience those feelings!
Life is too meaningful not to acknowledge your feelings and let them be expressed appropriately.

Often times, we ignore things that seem like “little things,” but over time, these things add up and pile on top of each other. Pay attention to your life – especially when it pertains to your wellbeing.
Strategy #4: Peace Supersedes Performance
Sure, we all love to perform well and aim for success. Sometimes it comes at a cost, though.
If you notice yourself overpromising and working too hard, at the expense of your happiness, tone it down and take some time to find peace with yourself.
Strategy #5: Minimise clutter
Take a look around your home. If it doesn’t bring you a sense of peace, it may be time to minimise the clutter.
If you’re a disorganised person, start small. You may be inclined to live your life among the clutter, but this does not keep you stay on top of things.
If you make it a regular habit to de-clutter, you’ll feel a tremendous sense of relief.
