For those people, this can generate a series of conflicts, problems and psychological disorders that prevent them from being happy and functional in society.
So things, Strengthening and taking care of self-esteem is of vital importance to face the changes and difficulties that arise on a day-to-day basis.. For this, it is essential to maintain a mental balance and a good formula to achieve this is to structure our lifestyle. In this way, there will be time for work and rest.
To maintain a mental balance in life and help us give each situation the necessary time, it is essential to put into practice the 8-8-8 rule. This method helps correct harmful habits such as lack of sleep or addiction to work.
This rule poses the following equation: 8 hours of work + 8 hours of leisure + 8 hours of sleep = happiness. According to the psychologist Sara Navarrete, “with the simple fact of learning to distribute the hours of the day in these three groups we will have advanced towards a happier life.”
This can be the most complex part of our day, due to the fact that limiting the 8 hours of active workday can become a challenge for those who are used to dedicating their lives to work. However, this method invites you to optimize those hours, it does not refer to working less, but more effectively.
A good way to start this rule is by defining the things that must be done first thing in the morning, prioritizing each activity, from the most important and the one that must be done in the morning, to the least relevant and which can be done in any other time of the day.
Finally, there is eight hours of sleep, an adequate rest routine is essential to perform at work and in free time. Some experts say that “it is essential not to go to bed too late, eat dinner at least an hour before going to bed, not drink coffee or stimulants in the afternoon, take a bath before going to bed or read for 15 or 20 minutes before turning off the light”.
These exercises can help you get restful sleep and feel active for the next day. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid watching movies until late if the next day our day starts in the morning.
