How to Get Things Done in 2020: Be Kinder to Yourself
With everything happening all the time, it’s easy to forget to take care of yourself. How can we focus on ourselves when there is so much going on around us, not even to mention worrying about careers, families, money, stress and everything else that comes with modern life?
But it doesn’t have to be as difficult as it seems. Choosing to spend time alone can benefit (пойти на пользу) your social relationships, improve your creativity and confidence, and help you regulate your emotions so that you can better deal with adverse (неблагоприятный) situations, according to experts.
It’s not that solitude is always good, but at times it can have a calming effect that prepares us to better engage with others. Getting better at identifying moments when we need solitude to recharge and reflect (раздумывать, размышлять) can help us better handle negative emotions and experiences — and turn them into positive experience.
