Everyday life can leave us with steam coming out of our ears and the feeling that we just can’t cope with it all; here are the tips that can help our life easier and stress less.

I don’t have time to get everything done

We all fulfill a dozen roles, are busier than ever, and never have enough time to get things done. But if we’re constantly on the go, we become exhausted, maybe irritable, and everything we do seems insurmountable. Take 20 minutes out of your day to do something entirely unrelated to your to-do list. It might seem counterproductive when you’re so busy, but not only does a break leave your feeling energized, it gives you more space in your mind to cope and achieve things more effectively.

Try an activity that takes you completely out of your situation. If what you’re doing is physical, change tempo by sitting down and listening to classical music, or read a magazine. If you’re in front of a screen, get out for a short work.

Lots of people struggle with the question are air-conditioners bad for the environment. The first thing we all seem to know is that air-conditioners are very electric-energy demanding devices.

This unless the air-conditioners are solar-powered, not much solar-powered air-conditioners in Thailand, the electricity used when you switch your air-conditioner on is likely produced by a carbon-emitting electrical power plant.

The search for meaning is an essential part of what makes us human. It answers a deep need within us to find some kind of purpose in life. We want to know we're doing something significant with the time we've been allotted.

I personally believe that there's a concrete link between meaning and happiness. It's well documented that people who have a vocation or calling in life are significantly happier than those who don't because their daily lives have real meaning.

Where it's Saving the Japanese Dolphins or setting up your own amateur animal welfare shelter, find a cause that fires you up. It needn't take up hours – start by organizing a recycling system at home, holding a fund-raising quiz night or writing a letter to the government. People who are committed to causes report being happier because they can recognize their contribution.
