After completing these 20 tasks, suddenly I became calm and not so impulsive anymore.

1、Close the Moments app

Reduce intake of unnecessary information and also eliminate the urge to scroll

2、 Exit useless group chats 

Not disturbed by many ding-dong sounds, nor do I need to spend time clicking on little red dots to clean up

3、 Don't watch short videos

I keep doing it one after another, and this feels like an endless abyss. I can't find anything good about it.

4、 Running

Run forward until you are drenched in sweat. Sometimes what we excrete is not sweat but bad emotions.

5、 Read picture books

If you are distracted and can't focus on reading, what should you do? Then try reading some light-hearted picture books. They combine pictures and text, are easy to understand, and you can also learn some viewpoints from them.

6、 Practicing calligraphy

The process of writing one stroke at a time makes us more engaged and focused. As our concentration improves, our inner peace sets in.

7、 Daily Reading

Set aside fragmented time and develop the habit of reading. After one year, you will find a different version of yourself.

8、 Cultivate long-term thinking

Things usually start to improve gradually after you give up. Keep going and we will see the desired result.

9、 Cultivate hobbies

Growing small plants, keeping a diary, making a journal, and taking notes - these are all meaningful things that can help you become more calm.

10、 Lower Expectations

There is no perfect person in the world. Everyone desires perfectionism, but we should learn to lower our expectations of ourselves. Try to envision the worst outcome and be prepared for any unexpected joy.

11、 Learn to review and reflect

Sometimes our impatience and anxiety stem from repeatedly making the same mistakes. Therefore, learning to review and reflect is crucial. For what we have done well, we should give it positive recognition and make improvements. For the mistakes we have made, we should be good at summarizing the lessons.

12、 Don't follow the trend in consumption

There are many ways to please oneself. Compared to material things, I pay more attention to the spiritual aspect.  Consumption philosophy should be : avoid purchasing for non-essential items and reduce consumption while upgrading quality.

13、Regular decluttering

Regularly conduct decluttering for yourself. Abandon bad habits and cultivate good ones. Only in this way can your life progress step by step and become better and better.

14、 Learn to plan your time

There are 24 hours in a day. Learn to plan what the main tasks are for each period of time? Preparing in advance can help you stay calm when faced with problems.

15、 Set short-term goals

If you want to accomplish something, it's better to break it down into a series of short-term goals. This way, it won't be so difficult to stick to. Once the periodical goals are completed, you will also have a sense of achievement.

16、 Make an annual plan

1-year plan, 5-year plan, 10-year plan - clear goals will make your journey less arduous and less driven by blind following.

17、 Cleaning the Room

Sweep the floor, wipe the tables, cabinets, After the house is tidied up, your mood will also become much more pleasant.

18、 Learning Storage Skills

Sometimes a messy home can also affect our mood. So, learning some storage skills is a good choice. How to fold clothes? How to make full use of space? These are also very good options.

19、 Watch high-quality documentaries

In the era of attention economy, high-quality documentaries are a fortress against cognitive fragmentation. As Wiseman puts it: "Documentaries are a kind of fictional reality; they are more real than reality itself."

20、 Listen to music

At a certain age, in a certain situation, everyone must have a song that keeps playing over and over, just to heal themselves through singing.
