Life Change Experts Nik and Eva Speakman share tips to ensure a smoother journey in life
The old saying goes, “When you make a plan, God laughs.” And while not all of us believe in a higher power, there’s no doubt life can be wildly unpredictable.
“The more you exercise a muscle, the bigger and more pronounced it becomes – and the same applies for your anxieties. Long-term exposure to stressors usually worsens anxiety. You may be interested in world events but listening to the news on repeat will intensify your anxiety, so limit listening to the news and scrolling through social media. One of our favourite sayings is, ‘Don’t believe everything you think’.
“If you envy a friend’s life, then see this as a positive, as this will motivate you to start taking actions to create your own path. If your friends are getting married and you feel like the only single person left, join a dating site or start telling your friends you’re looking to meet someone, so they might be able to introduce you to suitable friends of theirs.
“Block them on social media and reduce any time you have to spend with them. Pity them, too, as their actions highlight how little they have going on in their own lives. “If you feel like you need it, schedule another 15 minutes for the next day – but don’t extend that time. “Listen to the things they say – do they talk about their children a lot, a particular TV show or a holiday destination? Build up a bank of information and try to find some commonality. You can cheat a friendship and make your working day more pleasant by aiming to boost your interest levels in what they love.
