As a busy bee, who loves to constantly be on the go, I often forget to relax and have downtime. Not only do I have thousands of activities and projects at all times, but I also love to be in full control of my life. This can lean to overexertion. The result of not listening to your body and mind can lead to exhaustion and burnout.
Here are a couple ways I have found helpful in letting go of control.
#1. Be mindful of your body
We are not robots, and our bodies need rest. When you are tired or exhausted from lack of sleep, you’re body will let you know. You may start yawning, your eyelids get heavy, your body will tell you...all you need to do is listen.
#2. Stop comparing
With social media being such a big part of our lives, it is easy to compare yourself to everyone else, but you must stop! This kind of mindset will leave you exhausted and constantly wanting more.
#3. Take a break
It is important to give yourself time to relax. Stepping away from your daily routine can be hard, but sometimes that is just want you need. Change things up. Life is meant to be filled with all sorts of interesting experiences, and you will come back fresher. This could be taking a break from work to watch up on your favorite episode of Game of Thrones. Or this could be taking a vacation to a foreign country. Switch it up, surprise yourself.
This post is dedicated to my harding working friend @xaero1 :)
Hope you enjoy the tips!
Love,
Karen

Although Social Media is useful in terms of spreading awareness, staying connected with friends or for business, the downside is people can't help but compare their lives to others.
Great post! :)

Thank you! I agree, Social Media is not bad when used correctly. I'm a marketer as my "regular" job, and half of my job involves being on social media everyday! :)

Actually, I am around....though still to go through my backlog of steem replies! 😉
Finally a take-it-easy day today. Bought some OMG(!) last night (can you believe they created this symbol...so clever! I mean OMG! 😂 Supposedly stands for 'omise-go' whatever that is! No idea what it does, other than it's 'hot' right now!). Also bought back into BTC and ETH with all the rest of my cash :). Still not a bad day - up around $40k perhaps :) Probably I will need to sell everything by tomorrow! 🙃
Also I still plan on making that post! 😂 meanwhile you plan to make three posts a day! 😂 Maybe I need to hire you as my ghost-writer (haha...joking - my TA might end up slightly off-track...pictures of castles and such🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣)

AWW YAY!!!! haha btw I responded to your chat message. You dork! 🤣
OoO chill day chill day! I dig it.... well OMG sounds like my kind of currency considering I say that ALL THE TIME! LOL 40K pretty good... really good! If I made that much in one day. I would just khell over! (I wonder if they could also make a "LOL" currency... it would be pretty popular too)
OOO so I know you don't give trading advice, but I wanted to convert some of my Steem dollars into Bitcoin. If it's not too much, would you let me know when the right time is to trade them? Want to get the best bang for my buck... ya know?
hahah oh the TA sessions would be quite difference.. I would just stick GoT reference everywhere and when people beg for you to upvote them, I'll just stick that image I made you on all the comments. he he he
Okay. I'm prepping my first post! be on da lookout 🙃

Great post! I would add 'meditation' as the technique par excellence to develop the necessary relationship both with the body and with others that would prevent the damaging excesses you listed.
Especially given that ALL of our suffering in whatever form it takes comes from a separated ego. Healing involves bringing the ego back into alignment with the body and the Self.
