1. Be conscious of your surroundings and those in it
Take time to enjoy your surroundings. Look at everything and appreciate what you have and where you are. Pick some flowers and bring them inside. Get a pet; enjoy life.
2. Be physically active and eat well
People are always happier when they are healthy and keeping active. What’s more, keeping active tends to lead to a longer life. Today is always a good day to start eating healthily, and there are so many options. Plus, being active is invigorating. If you incorporate healthy eating into your routine, you’ll have even more energy to do what needs to get done.
3. Take time to unwind with regular vacations
It’s so important to take time to unwind and relax. We need time to gather our strength and thoughts and be sure we are getting our own inner-self filled because if our jug is empty, we’ll have nothing to offer anyone else.
4. Set goals and make plans for the future
I have a room in my home and one in my office as well where, if I am alone, it is time to shut the doors to all the distractions and set my mental gears in motion. I write down my goals, adjust where necessary, then get to work.
5. Be real because it really matters
If you blunder, admit it. Work on you, and let others work on themselves. No one is perfect. Be liberal with your praise and stingy with your criticism. Address the issues that bother you, if you must, but do it kindly. You don’t want others to criticize you, and they don’t want your criticism either.
