If like me, you live a wildly busy life, it\u2019s easy to feel overwhelmed by responsibility.<br><br \/>\n\tMore often than not, balancing a busy schedule is about self-discipline and keeping a watchful eye out for number one (that\u2019s you, remember!). Here are my tips for handling a busy life and being your best self!<br><br \/>\n\t<strong>1. Learn To Say No<\/strong><br><br \/>\n\tRepeat after me.<br><br \/>\n\tSaying no is not a sign of weakness. Saying no is not a sign of weakness. Saying no is not a sign of weakness.<br><br \/>\n\tSet realistic expectations for yourself. Don\u2019t worry about hurting other people\u2019s feelings \u2013 you can\u2019t please everyone! Don\u2019t spread yourself too thing \u2013 you don\u2019t have to agree to everything.<br><br \/>\n\t<strong>2. Don\u2019t Forget Your Sense Of Humour&nbsp;<\/strong><br><br \/>\n\tWe get it, you\u2019re busy\u2026 but no one likes a Debbie Downer. Do your best to keep spirits up and try to see the funny side of life. Stress is contagious so try to keep your own levels down \u2013 not only for the benefit of others but for yourself too.&nbsp;Take the time to have a giggle in the tea room and encourage a culture of laughter and light heartedness&nbsp;in your home and office. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br \/>\n\t<strong>3. Don\u2019t Forget To Slow Down &amp; Prioritise Rest<\/strong><br><br \/>\n\tScience says we should aim for seven to eight hours sleep a night\u2026 but we all know that very rarely happens. When you\u2019re tired, it\u2019s easy to feel overwhelmed by your responsibilities and tensions can steadily increase. When I head to bed, sometimes I struggle to switch off. That\u2019s why I do my best to keep my work and home lives separate.<br><br \/>\n\tTwo words: prioritise rest. While there\u2019s no alternative to a good night of sleep, there are steps you can take to bring your energy levels back up.<br><br \/>\n\tTake some time out and go for a walk during your lunch break\u2026 bring a book and your lunch. When you get home, make time for a long, hot soak in the bath. Or \u2013 invest in an adult colouring book and spend some time colouring in. It really helps!<br><br \/>\n\tAnd perhaps most importantly, turn your phone off and&nbsp;invest in an actual alarm clock. This will help you avoid any midnight social interaction.<br><br \/>\n\t<strong>4. Exercise<\/strong><br><br \/>\n\tThe health benefits of regular exercise are endless \u2013 for body and for mind.<br><br \/>\n\tIf you don\u2019t have time for a regular class or workout, try to integrate exercise into your daily routine. Walk or cycle to work. Park your car at the opposite side of the parking lots and ditch the lift for the stairs.<br><br \/>\n\tI\u2019d recommend taking a yoga class. When your mind is at its busiest, yoga is a good way to slow down your thoughts. Rather than replaying the events of the day or ticking things off your to-do list \u2013 breathing becomes your main priority. Breathe and follow the postures. Go at your own pace. Drink plenty of fluids.<br><br \/>\n\t<strong>5. Be Smart With Food Prep<\/strong><br><br \/>\n\tEvery Sunday, I look out for future Kate and smash out as much meal prep as I can \u2013 it really saves time during the week, especially when I\u2019m balancing my work with my responsibilities as a parent.<br><br \/>\n\tI want to make sure my family eat well \u2013 that\u2019s a priority I refuse to budge on. Thankfully, there a couple of supermarket staples that keep my time in the kitchen to a minimum \u2013&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PassageFoods\/\" target=\"_blank\">Passage To India<\/a><\/em> all-natural&nbsp;simmer sauces can be added to any vegetable or protein to make a tasty and nutritious dish. They even feature the recipe on the back \u2013 so no phone scrolling or memory required. Give them a try \u2013 they\u2019ll change your life, promise.<br><br \/>\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"900\" width=\"1200\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\" class=\"media-element file-default nova-lazyload-image-wrapper lz-cont img-responsive\" data-delta=\"2\" src=\"https:\/\/cms.smooth.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/chicken_korma_meatballs_pi_10100_v2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<p><strong>6. Take The Time To Socialise<\/strong><br><br \/>\n\tWhen I have heaps of deadlines looming but I\u2019m gasping for social interaction, I\u2019ll call my girlfriends and organise a working lunch at my favourite caf\u00e9. We can have a good old catch up over a plate then tap into the Wi-Fi and knuckle down. When it\u2019s time for a break \u2013 your mates are right there!<br><br \/>\n\t<strong>7. Establish A Positive Environment&nbsp;<\/strong><br><br \/>\n\tNothing beats a \u2018can-do\u2019 attitude. Whether you\u2019re working for yourself or as part of a team, make sure the environment you create is positive and supportive. Build trusting relationships and approach tasks with enthusiasm, patience and creativity.<br><br \/>\n\t<strong>8. Delegate<\/strong><br><br \/>\n\tAnother reason to build strong and supportive relationships. Surround yourself with people you trust, so when you need to pass responsibilities onto others, you\u2019re covered.<br><br \/>\n\t<strong>9. Playtime<\/strong><br><br \/>\n\tWhether it\u2019s with friends or with my daughter, playtime is not up for negotiation. Honestly, playtime will work wonders for both of you. Head to the swimming pool, the park or run around the garden. Playtime is medicinal, I swear!<br><br \/>\n\t<strong>10. Make Time For Each Other&nbsp;<\/strong><br><br \/>\n\tWhen life is at its busiest, don\u2019t forget about the ones you hold dearest. Remember to connect with the people you love, perhaps over a family dinner or a trip to the cinema.<br><br \/>\n\tWhen you look back in twenty years, these are the moments you\u2019ll cherish.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Passage Foods showcase exotic flavours and aromas through natural, high quality cooking sauces.
