1- Act like a kid
Sometimes being a grown-up is,
well, boring. Yes, you should pay your bills, make your deadlines, and clean
your apartment, but make sure to leave time to be a little silly and have fun.
2- Find your inner optimist
Don't obsess over bad news or your
finances; instead, shine your attention on areas of your life for which you are
profoundly grateful.
3- Catch some zzz
Don't feel guilty about catching a
few extra hours of shut-eye. Sleep boosts your mood, improves your memory,
sharpens your focus, and can help you maintain a healthy weight.
4- Wake up with yoga
Shake up your morning routine with
a natural energy booster: yoga!
5- Take a hike
You can be blown away by the
awesome power and beauty of nature, while giving your quads a workout.
6- Get some love
Regular romps are more than just
fun and games. Sex is great for your health. It can satisfy all sorts of
emotional and physical intimacy needs and helps partners stay close.
7- Work your muscles
Not only does working out do
wonders for your body, but physical activity also improve your overall
well-being and health.
8- Indulge in food you love
You've heard it before: Healthy
eating is all about moderation, so that means you don't have to deny yourself
the foods you love. Just indulge in a smart way.
9- Sing out strong
Whether you're in the shower, in
your car, or on a public stage, belt out a tune. You're a terrible singer, you
say? A million karaoke lovers never let that hold them back. Singing may make
you happier, even if you're not Beyonce.
10- Find fresh air
Make time to go outside during the
day, rain or shine.
11- Read a book
Take the time to sit and read, a
practice that previous generations recognized as a necessity, not a luxury.
12- Share your goals
If you want to make things happen,
spread the word! Tell your family and friends about your goals. Your loved ones
can hold you accountable and help you stick to your guns.
13- Unplug and go tech free
Put away the cell phone, turn off
the television, and shutdown the computer.
14- Give back
Help yourself by helping others.
People feel good when they do good, but research now shows that giving is good
for you emotionally and physically.
15- Schedule fun every day
You can enjoy life without taking
an extravagant vacation. Each morning, think, "What can I do today that
will make it an amazing day?"
16- Get sociable
Prioritize time together with
friends. Whether you go out or stay in, it's important to let your hair down
and blow off steam every once in a while with your pals.
