Create more space in your calendar, add an extra hour after lunch without anything in particular planned. Add an extra day after coming back from a trip, just so you can land in your own home again. Build in more margin in your budget, to avoid that financial stress in the end of the month. And definitely add extra margin when it comes to how you spend your energy.
Never operate on 100% capacity. Leave room for the unexpected, leave space for when life happens - because it will. The difference between stressed and calm isn’t more resources, it’s more space.

 Image by freepik I’m a big fan of rest. Huge fan actually. Resting, recovering, breathing. Always planning my days with a lot of space for slow mornings, and planning my weeks with a lot of time for audiobooks and gazing out over the river. I’m even planning trips I'm taking with extra space before and after, just to give myself time to mentally prepare, and to rest. In today’s world everything seems to go faster and faster, and it happens almost without us noticing. We are getting so used to the uptempo and the high speed that we are becoming speed blind. Have you lately checked out your old favorite children programmes, just to realize how incredible slow they are so you’re just wondering how you even could focus and find it interesting for more than five seconds? Or feeling nostalgic and dug out and old hit from the 80s or 90s, that you used to dance like crazy to and get all excited about, just to realize, it actually doesn’t have a very fast paste?!
