There are a few things that you can do to reduce stress in your life by simplifying your decisions and avoiding something called decision fatigue.
I never realized that I was doing a few of these things, but in looking at my life overall I know that a few of my habits can make a big difference in your life.
Decision fatigue is a state where we just get tired from making decisions. Actually often these decision that seem very simple are just made over and over and are actually cluttering up our mind.
There are some simple hacks that make things easier.
Building A Couple Weeks Breakfasts Once
I have written before that breakfast is incredibly important for us for energy and health but the trouble for most people is that it is really hard to go ahead and make a really great and healthy breakfast each and every day.
What I have worked out is to make sure that I have the great breakfast I need every day.
I buy a big bulk bag of oatmeal, some sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and flaked unsweetened coconut.
I make a big ziplock bag with this mix and then every weekday for a couple or weeks I know that I have a really nutritious breakfast that I will actually eat and enjoy every morning without having to think about, plan for, or schedule time to eat.
Planning All Your Snacks and Dinners
Snacking is another part of my diet that I really have to regiment. Left to my own devices I am sure it would be reduced to chocolate bars and ice cream.
I have a regular daily set of food that I bring along with me every single weekday. I have two fruits, one veggie, leftovers from last night, one granola bar, and one chocolate bar – yes chocolate has to be part of a well balanced diet
