Here are 20 steps on how you can make your life better: 1. Accept yourself – what you are and what you are not. 2. Always choose to look at the brighter side of things, being pessimistic gets you nowhere. 3. Pray for others, including those who hurt you, it’s the best way to get back at them. 4. Take care of yourself – eat healthy and exercise; you only live once. 5. Simplify the way you live your life. Who wants a complicated one? 6. Give yourself good hours of sleep. Enough hours of sleep time will give you a good day and a good mood the next morning. 7. Spend. What’s a better way to enjoy the money you’ve worked for than to spend it for yourself? 8. Learn to say NO. Constantly searching for others’ approval by always saying YES will only make you miserable, plus you won’t enjoy things you’re only forced to do. 9. Keep your things organize. Cluttered stuff can lead to a cluttered mind. 10. Set your daily goals. Having a daily to-do list helps you organize your daily activities minimizing the possibility of overlooking some. 11. Work on your own pace. Instead of keeping up with others’ pace, work on your own rhythm; you wouldn’t want a mediocre and half-baked result, would you? 12. Do something for the “kid in you”. An ice cream treat, a stuffed toy gift – we all have a child in us. 13. Talk clean. Challenge yourself not to say any negative word everyday and aim to lessen the number by the time. 14. Cook (or order good to-go food). Treat your tummy to a delightful meal, it deserves that treat! 15. Spend time with nature. A good walk to a nature park, a mountain or a beach will give you time to recharge and reunite with nature; plus you get a time out from the busy city life. 16. Make a bucket list and update it yearly. Make it a tradition to make a bucket list and aim to do everything you have written in it. Add more to the list during your birthday – new things to look forward to on your (another) year in this world. 17. Have a cheat day. If you are disciplining yourself to do something say, a diet, set a specific day of the week to break the rules – we all enjoy a little criminal act! 18. Make a list of things you are most thankful for. When you see all these blessings on paper, you will realize and appreciate all the blessings you have in life. 19. Talk to a friend whom you’ve lost contact with for a long time. 20. Spend quality time with your loved ones. We all have our work and busy schedules and spending time with your loved ones is the best off-from-work activity you can do for them. Life is as it is, challenging, sometimes disappointing and sometime fun. Regardless of how life treats you, it will always depend on how you treat it. We only have one lifetime to live, so why not make the most of it? While stress, disappointments and hurts are inevitable, the choice to be happy remains just that – a choice. So you always have the say on how you let things work for your life – so choose those that make it a better one! emotional-detachment/20-steps-to-a-better-life-the-psychology-of-happiness/
