The Tips - Part 7 (Simplifying Our Life)

1. 
   1
   Spend time with people you love. Re-evaluate time spent with people you cannot mingle with and choose to spend more time with people you can enjoy. Whether those people are a spouse, a partner, children, parents, other family, best friends, or whoever, find time to do things with them, talk to them, be intimate with them.

   Spend time alone. Alone time is good for you, although some people aren’t comfortable with it. It could take practice getting used to the quiet, and making room for your inner voice. While it may sound new-age like, it is extremely calming. And this quiet is necessary for finding out what’s important to you.

   Simplify your interactions. There are some absolute basics that can make your relationships far simpler, far less trying on your nerves and time:
   • Learn to say no. If you can't say no, you'll always be the person who is trying to fix everyone else's problems as well as your own. Learn to discern what is important enough to agree to and say no to the rest.
   • Don't keep giving to people who always take and fail to reciprocate. Don't try to please others by neglecting yourself.
   • Use your instincts. Don't be easily led. If you feel there is something wrong, there probably is.
