11. Declutter.

Demolition sounds like a big project, but setting aside 20 minutes a week can have a big impact. What can you do in 20 minutes? A lot. Set a timer on your phone and take 15 minutes to fix a specific area of one room - say, your wardrobe or that uncontrollable wardrobe. Put everything in its place and throw or give away any useless rubbish. Keep the selected donation box to make things a little easier (and avoid creating extra clutter).

Keep the selected donation box to make things a little easier (and avoid creating extra clutter).
Use the remaining 5 minutes to make a quick walk to your destination, placing any distractions that keep you on your way.
You can do this trick once a week, once a day, or anytime you feel like your space is out of control.
12. See friends.

People are friendly, and having close friends can make us happier.
Who do you remember? Reach out to them. Schedule a date or simply have a long phone conversation.
As you grow older, you may find it difficult to make new friends. But it doesn't matter how many friends you have. It's about having a meaningful relationship - whether it's just that or not two people. Try joining a local volunteer group or taking a class. Both can help you connect with like-minded people in your area. And chances are, they want friends, too.
Relationships need not be limited to other people. Pets can offer similar benefits, according to several studies. Love animals but don't have a pet? Imagine volunteering at an animal shelter to make new friends - both humans and animals.
13. Plan your church.

Do you feel like spraying? Try to sit down every weekend and make a basic list for the next week.
Even if you do not adhere to a schedule, restricting the time you can do laundry, shop, or do projects at work can help calm your mind.
You can find a luxury planner, but even a sticky note on your computer or a piece of discarded paper in your pocket can do the job.
14. Touch your phone.
If you haven’t connected for a while, you might be surprised at the difference you make. Let your mind wander free for a change. Read. Meditate. Take a walking tour and pay attention to your surroundings. Be friendly. Or be alone. Just be. Sound too scary? Try to do a short time several times a week.
15. Get into nature.
Your green space can be anything from your local park, your yard, or a roof garden - anywhere you can appreciate nature and fresh air. Better yet, add something outside exercise to get extra benefit.
16. Check meditation.
There are many ways to meditate. They can involve movement, concentration, spirituality, or a combination of all three.

Meditation does not have to be complicated. It can be as
simple as sitting quietly with your thoughts for five minutes. Even the deepest
breath tests mentioned at the outset can serve as a basis for meditation.
17. Consider treatment.

We certainly are happier when we learn to deal with obstacles. When faced with a problem, think of what you have experienced in the past. Will it work here? What else can you try?
If you feel like hitting a brick wall, consider talking to a therapist every week. You do not have to have a mental illness or a serious problem to get treatment.
Therapists are trained to help people develop coping skills. Also, there is no obligation to continue once you have started.
Even just a few moments can help you to add other new things to your emotional toolbox. Worried about the cost? Here's how to put one together for use with your budget.
18. Get a culture of self-care.

It is easy to neglect self-care in a fast-paced world. But your body carries your thoughts, passions, and spirit in this world, don't you deserve a little TLC?
Maybe unpack your work week with a long and hot bath. Or accepting a skincare program that makes you feel good about yourself. Or just set aside the night to dress up your soft jemmies and watch a movie from start to finish.
Whatever it is, give yourself time. Put it on your planner if you have to, but do it.
