The biggest improvement in your life will come when you realize that happiness and contentment are just a byproduct of good habits.
Say No by Default
Your time’s precious: don’t give it to people who don’t deserve it. Especially to Energy Vampires who drain your energy.
Conquer FOMO and put yourself first – make it your rule of thumb that if it’s not a “no brainer” yes, then it’s a no.
Choose Writing Over Complaining
Complaining isn’t attractive – it repels ambitious people and fosters a negative mindset.
Write down your thoughts instead: you’re forced to think slowly and deeply so your irrationality loses its edge.
It’s the therapy your therapist uses.
Prioritize Nature
A study of 20,000 people in the UK found that 120 minutes/week in nature improved health and well-being.
It’s the planet’s greatest healer.
Whenever you’re in a rut, time in nature will always spark the return of color to the gray.
Pay it Forward
Random acts of kindness boost well-being:
• Holding the door for someone
• Picking up trash outside
• Giving a compliment
The world’s a closed system: if you send waves of positivity out, they’ll find their way back to you.
Maintain Relationships
Human connections are the fabric of life – but you need to be intentional with them amidst life’s chaos.
So schedule time weekly for thoughtful texts and calls to those you’ve neglected.
It’s a couple of minutes with an ROI you’ll measure in years.
Focus on Your Health
I’m convinced most mental health problems are actually physical health problems. Everyone I know who:
• Eats well
• Exercises daily
• Drinks enough water
Has a Teflon mind that repels all negativity.
