10 Brilliant Tips To Make The Most Of Every Day
Food, Lists, Nature, Other, Social, WeirdSome people think the only point in life is to live as healthy as possible to live as long as possible. Conversely, many people also believe in living each day as their last, resulting in burning out and living selfishly. The true point to life is to make the most of every day in a way that helps others as well as yourself to have the best, happiest, healthiest and most balanced life. This list contains ten brilliant tips to make the most out of every day.
Smiling
It is proven that smiling releases endorphins in your brain to improve your mood and general wellbeing. The power of smiling most overlooked by everyone is the contagious factor. Try to make at least three people smile every day to keep the good going.
Meditation
Many monks already believe in the power of meditation. It is said to improve your health physically as well as mentally. Although meditation is a great tool, it takes practice, so instead try sitting in silence for ten minutes each day. This gives you some time to yourself and allows you to think about everything and nothing all in one sitting.
Seriousness
Don’t take life too seriously, and similarly don’t take yourself too seriously. There is more to life than working and fighting to stay ahead of the curve. Have some fun every once in a while, but as with all good things, balance is key.
Hate
Hate is a cancerous thought in your mind eating away at your mental wellbeing. Remove hate from your life. Whether to forgive, forget or to remove the source of hate from your life by moving on, this point is the key to progressing and developing mentally and emotionally.
Comparing Yourself To Others
Everyone on Facebook only ever posts the great parts of their life. We all know it is in an attempt to make others jealous. Nobody knows the individual struggles of each other persons, so don’t compare yourself to others. It will only lead to depression and doubt.
Friends Vs. Job
Your job takes care of you on a day to day basis. What happens when you get sick or injured? Will your work take care of you then? We all know the answer to that one; as great as work is, it can never compete with good friends. Keep in touch with the ones you love through thick and thin, for they will always be there for you.
Sleep
We are all guilty of either overdoing this or underdoing this. Very few people actually get the recommended 8 hours of sleep each night, either underdoing it and putting stress on your immune system and the rest of your body, or overdoing it and wasting your day. Ensure you stay healthy by sleeping enough.
Water
This is more of a health tip, so drink at least two liters of water each day. If you’re trying to lose weight, drink it before your meal to fill you up to prevent from over eating. If you suffer from constant headaches, constantly feel lethargic and tired, or feel that your brain is working slow, these are all symptoms of not drinking enough water.
Daydreaming
This used to be looked down upon by many in school, especially teachers and parents. It is this practice that improves creativity and helps with overall happiness. Nothing is quite as exciting as daydreaming about travelling to Mars or flying on dragons.
Gossip
This is a problem many face. With the prevalence of social media such as Facebook and Twitter, it is easy to get lost in the rumors and gossip that abounds. Instead, focus your energy on your life and leave the gossip. This will greatly reduce the negativity of life in general.
