Service Tips That Will Make Your Life Better.

Practice generosity. 

        Instilling generosity as a way of life can impact the world in a huge way. And as a side effect, you’ll be happier, too.

Appreciate where you are in life. 

        When you are thankful for your circumstances, you are stronger because you’re not a victim.

Practice mindfulness. 

        Learn to be present and mindful of the moment. While planning ahead is good, don’t let that detract from being present and centered.

Create a gratitude jar that you put one note into every week. 

          Expressing thankfulness on a weekly basis will help you be aware of how lucky you are in addition to give you something at the end of the year to look back on. I’m doing this now and it’s really fun!

Practice gratitude.  

       The more you express how grateful you are, the happier you’ll be. You’ll also attract more positive things into your life. The fastest and easiest way to practice gratitude is with the Five Minute Journal, which is what I use.

Be a mentor. 

          This is a rewarding way to give back to the younger generations. Volunteer and give your time. Giving your time (your most precious resource) is a profound way to give back.

Commit to donating a specific percent of your income every year. 

          This is the best way I know how to practice consistent financial generosity.

Relationships Tips That Will Make Your Life Better.

Be your own best friend. 

         Learning to love yourself will create a centeredness that everyone deserves to experience. You’ll be happier in every area of your life.

Set relationship goals. 

            You wouldn’t start a business, career, or anything else super important without setting goals, so why skip relationships? Start small and come up with goals together.

Give people the benefit of the doubt. 

             If you make this a practice, you’ll be happier. You won’t question people as much, and you’ll find that you’re less judgmental.

Have family meetings. 

          Discuss how things are going, including your personal goals, financial goals (here’s how you can set up budget meetings), and anything else. It’s good to have a time to check-in with each other.

Call one friend or family member once a day. 

        It’s important to stay connected to the people most important to you. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the need to stay in touch, simply call one person you care about every day. This way, over time, you’ll stay in touch with everyone.

Don’t be a victim. 

              Whatever your circumstances are, take ownership of them. Then, take action. If you feel like your situation is someone else’s fault, you’ll never change it.

Don’t put your partner down in public. 

              This is one of the worst things you can do. It’s disrespectful and harms the relationship.

Stop negative thoughts about other people when you begin to think them. 

           This practice can become a habit, and when it does, you’ll get out of a negative mindset. You’ll be happier and less judgmental, too.

Commit to playing with your kids regularly. 

                It’s not enough to provide for them financially. They need your time (and quality time at that).

Prioritize your kids over your work. 

           This is hard for the breadwinner of the family, but it’s worth it. Your regrets at the end of your life will be about people – not work. Prioritize your people.

Health Tips That Will Make Your Life Better.

Health Tips That Will Make Your Life Better.

Create a meal plan. 

Planning out your meals ahead of time will help you spend less money and stick to your health goals. 

Stop eating fried food. 

Fried food makes you feel awful for 24 hours (not to mention it lacks nutrients). You’ll feel better if you cut out fried food.

Don’t go more than 3 days without exercising. 

Exercising gives you energy, helps relieve stress, and helps you get fit. It’s too hard to squeeze it in every day sometimes, but don’t go more than 3 days without it.

Eat minimal dairy. 

If you have a sensitive stomach, try cutting out dairy. For some people this can eliminate digestive problems.

Cut out one of the following: 

pop, coffee, alcohol, or sugar. If you could cut all these, then even better.

Get enough good sleep. 

This may be 5.5 hours or it may be 8 hours  whatever it is for you, make sure you get it. The quality matters just as much as the time spent sleeping. Sleep allows you to regenerate and gives you greater concentration.

Focus on building strength more than on being skinny. 

This will create positive goals that are attainable and healthy for you.

Make sure you get enough Vitamin C and D. 

Both of these can impact your health in a positive way if you get enough (and can have the opposite effect if they’re lacking). Check with your doctor which vitamins recommends.

Drink enough water every day. 

A good rule of thumb is to divide your body weight by 2 and that’s how many ounces you should drink.

Keep track of your annual, routine doctor appointments and don’t miss any. 

Put a recurring reminder on your calendar for things like dental checkups, skin checks, and physicals so you don’t miss any. Take your preventative care seriously.

Take fitness classes or hire a personal trainer. 

If you struggle to get fit, classes or a trainer are great ways to go. Just make sure you can afford it!

10 Self Improvement Tips That Will Change Your Life

10 Self Improvement Tips That Will Change Your Life. 

#1. Love Yourself

       The first self improvement tip is learning to love yourself. Unfortunately for many, this is easier said than done. You have to learn to accept who you are and that you are beautiful just the way you are. You are supposed to simply be you.

#2. Exercise

       When you lift heavy weights, your body exerts more effort and you release more endorphins into your system. This is what makes you feel better and improves your mood.

#3. Eat Better

       If you are going to work out, you might as well eat well too, right? I find when I am working out, I eat better. When I stop working out, I eat poorly. It’s a simple cycle really. 

#4. Change Your Habits

     We are all creatures of habit. We follow the same routines, day in, day out. This makes life easier for us, but also makes us lazy. To spice things up, you need to change your habits. Instead of taking the same way to work every day, try a new way.  Find simple ways to change things up in life.

#5. Set Goals

      While you change your habits, you should also focus on setting goals for yourself. Where do you want to be in one year, or three or five years? Don’t just write them down, but visualize these goals. Make the goals a part of you.

#6. Accept Failure

Don’t believe the lie that failure is a bad thing. It is only a bad thing if you never learn from it. Be willing to try new things, give it your best shot and if you fail, take the time to step back. Reflect on the reasons that led you to fail and try again. As you progress, you are growing as a person.

#7. Create A Mission Statement

    You need to know who you are and what you stand for. In other words, you need to create a personal mission statement. Don’t mull over creating the perfect mission statement here. Just come up with something that identifies who you are and what you are about. As time goes on, you can modify it.

#8. Be Thankful

    Try to take a few minutes at the end of each day and think back on what happened and acknowledge the positive things in your life and be thankful for them. the more you do this, the easier they will be to identify.

#9. Learn A New Skill

     Learning a new skill breeds confidence in ourselves. When we learn something new, we get excited and are eager to learn more. This increases our self confidence and we grow and want to learn more. It’s a cycle that fuels itself. Challenging yourself is a great tool when it comes to self development. By learning new things, you grow as a person.

#10. Stop Wasting Time

     How will you find time to learn those news skills you wrote about above? Easy, stop wasting time. I bet you could easily carve out a few hours in your day to learn a new skill.
