In the chaotic world of today, it is easy to get caught up in all that is going on around us. You turn on the news, there are deaths, murders, missing children, cases of domestic violence, terroism, and all types of craziness. Sometimes, all I just want to do is leave my TV off or not go online because of all the potential things that you hear and see that can make you sad or mad, or both.
While we may have so much to worry about. Sometimes, it is also important to take care of ourselves as well as the people around us. We can only achieve this by living better and happier lives.
So here are a a few ideas on how to Improve your quality of life.
1) Slow Down
Some of us work crazy amount of hours with no breaks in between. All that stress can actually be detrimental to your health. I remember a patient I had who was a workaholic, never took the time to rest, or go for doctor visits. He was clearly stressed out, and was hypertensive. He did not know he was hypertensive till he ended up in emergency room, with a huge stroke.
Sometimes, it is ok to just take a break. Go on a vacation! Just drop everything and relax for a minute. You can engage in other things that you enjoy, like playing sports, gardening, shopping, whatever it is that makes you happy.
