The 80/20 rule popularly known as the Pareto Principle was born by an Italian, Vifredo Pareto, after observing that approximately 20% of the people living in Italy owned an astonishing 80% of wealth. It reflected a simple symmetry of inequality then, and the principle gradually spread to other areas of life, particularly #stress #relief. According to #Pareto, the #majority of any #output comes from the #minority of any #input.
From a #wellness perspective #80% of your #health #problems will come from #20% of the #lifestyle #choices you make. #Smoking for example, is a small thing that causes many people several health problems. When it comes to stress something that seems trivial would be enough to #trigger major problems in some people. Someone might say something about your #appearance thinking it’s a #joke but if you take it to #heart, chances are that it will weigh down on your #mind. To #deal with the #negative #thoughts you will probably run to the pub for a drink but end up spending #money that was meant for your #bills. Later you might have to #lie and the domino #effect of stress continues. #Depression easily steals 80% of one’s #quality of #life and most often, we fail to #realize that its root cause is not what people say but low self-esteem. Simply working on your #confidence would in this case be the 20% you need to do to avoid stress.
In today’s #society, people with #depression or #ADHD quickly turn to #drugs in a bid to #manage the situation but if you were to follow the 80/20 principle, that is a drastic turn. Attention deficit problems, stress and depression are usually as a result of #lifestyle #choices so the simple solution would be making #changes of the #foods you #eat, how you work out and #improve your #outlook on life.
Anyone can use Pareto’s principle to reduce stress especially during this festive #season when there are countless matters to attend to. Try making two columns of things that brings you stress and those that bring you #joy. If for example you find that #shopping causes you a great deal of #anxiety, have someone else do it for you so you can #focus on #activities that bring #happiness. Trying to impress others is one of the reasons why many people feel #dejected, #rejected and #unwanted. In line with Pareto’s principle you should #protect the 80% that encompasses #happiness and #well-being by invoking #positive #thoughts and embracing simple #solutions to seemingly big problems.
