Do you feel like you are the kind of person who is good at keeping a level head? Some 
people have a really hard time keeping calm in emotional situations. In fact, there are a 
lot of people who are sensitive enough to become quite intense when situations aren’t 
that emotional. Achieving peace and be tough in a world where people can find and talk 
to you at any given time, but when you employ a few simple rules as habits, then you 
can learn how to be more zen. 


Don’t Multitask

In order to keep things less stressful, it’s important that you don’t spend a lot of time 
with your life cluttered by pending task. Do just one thing at a time, and that will allow 
you to give greater attention and focus to the task that is in front of you. When you 
multitask, you will be constantly worried about where things are going, and when they’re 
getting completed. This can cause you to make tiny mistakes all over your work that 
take a lot of extra time to correct. Do the best to live your now, today.

 
Stop Rushing

There are a lot of saying that have been around for centuries that talk about the dangers 
of rushing around too much. Going fast make take you to the destination sooner, but 
you might not be in the condition that you want to be in when you get there. Take some 
time to do things slowly, and with attention to detail. Even things like exercise are better 
slow. It allows you to make more careful movements, and helps you to avoid injury. If 
you go too fast lifting, you're just throwing weights, and not completely engaging the 
muscle mass. The same goes for other tasks. 


Don’t Stop Until It’s Done

It’s easy to want to stop and take a break when you're in the middle of a big project, but 
if you just get through it, then you’ll be more likely to finish with cohesive ideas staying 
fresh until the end. Even simple things like making food and cleaning are better when 
you stop to clean after the food is prepared instead of waiting until after you’ve eaten. 
You’ll be more likely to clean up if you’re waiting for the tasty foods. 
 
 
Don’t Force More Tasks Than Needed into a Day

Have a realistic viewpoint of what is comfortable to accomplish in a day. If you find 
yourself rushing around, then you might want to consider trying to group tasks 
differently, or to simply do a lot less stuff in one day. Putting that kind of pressure 
creates stress, and unfinished tasks create disappointment. Be kinder to yourself and to 
your mind.
