1. Laugh and smile
Laughter and
smiles are scientifically proven to have health benefits. Don’t just wait
around for things that will make you laugh and smile, seek them out. Rent
comedy movies or go to a comedy club. Smile as often as you can, even if you’re
not in the mood.
2. Go and Smell the Flowers
These days the slogan has changed to go and smell the Flowers.
This is because people as a whole are getting out and about less and less
thanks to modern creature comforts. Plan a trip and go somewhere new to you at
least quarterly.
3. Test your own limits
If there’s
anyone that knows your limits, it’s you. But how well do you know them? You may
think you know your limits but if you’re not actively testing them it could
just be something you thought up and it became your self-imposed limit.
4. Rage against complacency
It’s so easy
to get complacent, because the known feels so warm and fuzzy, while the unknown
can seem like a faceless monster. Always strive to grow and improve yourself,
because if you’re not growing, you’re dying, just like a flower, there’s no in
between.
5. Make time for
the people you love
Taking time from your day to spend with the
people that truly mean the most to you is never wasted time. The same cannot be
said for mindless things like TV watching, Face book checking, tweeting, etc.
