I've read many tips about loving life. I have a list in my head and figure I would share it with you all to start off my blogging career. (Yes, its my very first time)! Being a blog virgin and all, I was hoping you could reply with any blogging tips along with your favorite way that you love your life.
1. Have Gratitude. If you aren't feeling grateful or worse, selfish... Make a short gratitude list. I list 3 things I am grateful for nearly every evening.
2. Pray and/or Meditate. You can pray without even knowing what or who your praying to. If that doesn't float your boat, try a free online meditation. YouTube has many.
3. Keep friends and family close. Tell one of them one nice thing you like about them every day. If you are having a disagreement, even just thinking about what you like about them will do.
4. Help Others. Volunteer, give to charity, lend an ear for a friend in need, join a worthy cause, and/or smile at a stranger.
5. Exercise & Eat Healthy Foods. Try just 10 mins of vigorous exercise a day if you are like me and prefer your sofa. Eat less meat, especially red, and load up on whole grains, fruits & veggies.
6. Journal and Take Time Outs. Yep you heard me... time outs aren't only good for the kiddies. Take 10 or so to write in your journal (if you don't have one I recommend looking in the dollar store. Try some breathing exercises if you're super busy.
7. Love Pets and Nature. If you don't have a pet, I feel very sad for you. My cat and dog are extremely therapeutic and are a huge part of my family. Go for a walk with the dog & enjoy the beauty that surrounds you.
8. Take Time for You. Alone time doing what you enjoy without worrying about anything or anyone else on a regular basis can do busy bodies a world of good.
9. Take "Inventory". Taking stock of your undesirable thoughts and behaviors helps to make you a more pleasant person. Get rid of them (Personally, I ask God to remove them and to show me what corrective measures should be taken) Make amends if need be. Don't forget to pat yourself on the back for all the good thoughts and behaviours that make you you.
10. Be Yourself. There's enough of everyone else to go around!
