I read this on a friends blog and thought it was great. 29 things you can do to have a better life.
- Take a 10-30 minute walk every day and, while you walk, smile. It’s the ultimate anti-depressant.
- Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes a day.
- Tape your late shows and get more sleep.
- When you wake up in the morning, complete the following statement, ‘My purpose is to _________ today.’
- Live with the 3 E’s - energy, enthusiasm and empathy.
- Play more games and read more books than you did last year.
- Make time to pray. Prayer provides us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
- Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6. Appreciate their genuine nature, strength and innocence.
- Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
- Try to make at least 3 people smile each day.
- Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid.
- Smile and laugh more.
- Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
- Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
- You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
- Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.
- Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
- No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
- Frame every so-called disaster with these words: ‘In 5 years, will this matter?’
- God can heal any hurt.
- However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
- Your job won’t take care of you when you’re sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
- Envy is a waste of time.
- No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
- Do the right thing!
- Call your family often.
- Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
- Enjoy the ride. Remember, this is not Disney World and you certainly don’t want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.
- Glorify God with your life.
