Stress makes you age prematurely
Life is fast-paced and work stressful… High-pressure life causes some urban women to age early and even show hidden menopause symptoms.
With the increasing pace of life and work pressure, most women have fine lines from about age 28, and as they age, the symptoms of aging become more pronounced, with skin starting to sag, dull, rough, and wrinkles becoming more and deeper.
Surveys show that close to 30% of white-collar women, just past the age of 30, are experiencing hidden menopause symptoms to varying degrees. Experts suggest that those urban women should strengthen their mental and physical regimen to prevent early aging from occurring.
Experts suggest that urban women should first regulate their emotions to have a calm and happy mood in the face of tremendous pressure to survive, and secondly, pay attention to good lifestyle habits, pay attention to diet and exercise.
1. Write it down.
Think about something more meaningful than just remembering what’s going to be done. The brain is usually like a leaky bucket, so write down your good ideas, insights, thoughts, and add what you need to do to your to-do list before you forget.
2. Do one thing at a time.
If you do one thing at a time, then you will achieve better results, feel better, and have less stress. Thus, instead of doing more than one thing at a time, you are better off doing the most important things each day before doing the other less important things.
3. Be bold and ask, not second-guess.
People’s hearts are unpredictable, so ask and communicate in a way that resolves doubts, which will help you minimize unnecessary arguments, misunderstandings, and denials.
4. Get your “act together” before bed.
This way you won’t be stressed in the morning and you’ll be less likely to forget things.
5. Set boundaries for what you do every day of the week.
Set boundaries to better balance your work and life. By doing so, you’ll find yourself doing things more productively. Because not everything has to result in something. Here are three ways to help you set some boundaries for what you do every day of the week:
1. Set a time for your work to start and a time for it to end. I don’t work between 7pm and 8am the next morning.
2. Take more breaks a few times a day. Rest more during the day so you can keep your mind sharp and have energy at night and on weekends.
3. Don’t work on the weekends. Try to spend your weekends away from your daily habits and things, from media and the Internet. Choose to spend time with your loved ones, friends, family, or to read a book, watch a movie, or do some other fun activity.
6. Make room for a very clean work space.
By freeing up a very clean workspace, you can greatly reduce mental distractions or stress due to crowding. Your attention can be more easily focused on what matters most in a natural way, so think about how you can have such a work environment.
Advice: All you need is a small desk, a laptop, a stack of paper, a pen, and something to put on the wall that gives you motivation and positive energy, such as a list of important things, dreams, quotes, or meaningful pictures.
7. Don’t make a big deal out of it.
When you start thinking deeply about something, or when you decide in your head that you want to do something big, you should ask yourself, “Am I making a big deal out of it?
If you’re defeated in some way by your thinking, ask yourself: Is there anyone in the world worse off than I am right now?”
8. 10 minutes early.
This very simple habit transforms those car rides into time for you to relax and rest, rather than into segments of time and space where you feel stressed or have other negative emotions.
It also gives you a habit of preparing things in advance, and getting into the habit not only saves you time, but also allows you to organize your time better.
9. Put everything away.
If everything is placed in a specific place, your home will stay in order and you will come home with a sense of well-being, a warm atmosphere, and no clutter every day.
When it’s time to go out, you’ll be able to easily find your keys, wallet, and phone.
10. Breathe.
When stressed, or confined to a rut, obsessed with the past or lost in the future, breathe through your belly for 2 minutes, paying attention to the flow of air in and out. This calms your body and brings your thoughts back to the present again.
Being an optimistic woman is the best care you can give yourself, letting go of your mind when things go wrong and letting these ways to ease depressed moods open up your happy heart for you.
