Ways to Learn to Love Yourself and be Happy with the World

30 Ways To Learn To Love Yourself And Be Happy With The World

Posted by

1.  Stop comparing yourself to others.  People achieve success and fail at different rates.

2.  You’re not as fat as you think.  Besides, your body fat percentage  has no bearing on what makes you a quality human being.

3.  Exercise because it is good for your soul and not solely for your outward experience.  Appreciate your body and all the things it can do.  Stop picking it apart — you will never achieve perfection.

4.  Find something at which you excel.  Maybe you are really amazing at working with kids and you just don’t know it yet.

5.  Spend more time with your girlfriends or guy friends.  Relationships may come and go, but friends are forever  — cherish that.

6. Spend time alone.  It’s okay if you want to stay home on a Friday night, catch up on your shows/movies and eat your favourite food because you’ve had an exhausting workweek.


 



7. Read that book you’ve been meaning to read. In fact, read as many books as

possible.  Reading expands the imagination and sharpens the mind.

8. Spend time outside.  Discover a new trail or a mountain to hike.  Soak up the sun.





9. Take a lot of pictures.  Take way too many and don’t forget to print them.  Don’t let them just sit in

your phone memory.

10. Let go of the past.  Forgive the people who hurt you so that YOU can move on.  Carrying around anger only poisons you.

11.  Reunite with old friends from high school, university and your past in general. Let go of friendships that no longer serve you.  People grow apart; it’s natural and it’s okay.

12.  Call your friends and family more often; don’t just follow them on social media.  Remember

when we used to have to call or meet up with people to hear their voices?  That experience is so much richer.


13. Resolve the issues you might have with your family .  Tell them you love them.   Show up to family events and don’t have something better to do.

14.  Take vitamins because you want to be the healthiest version of yourself.  Unless you want to be cranky and lethargic all day, make sure you get enough iron.

15.  Treat yourself to something you want but don’t need. Whether it’s a fancy designer purse you’ve been eyeing for years or a plane ticket to the destination of your dreams, remember how fine the line between saving and living is.

16. Care about your appearance — not in a vain, superficial way. Care about how you look, so you can feel great when you leave the house. But, if you feel like wearing sweatpants and your hair in a bun to the grocery store once in a while,  do it.

17.  Watch that movie or that Netflix  series you’ve been meaning to see.

18.  Be active.  Exercising regularly releases endorphins and contributes to your level of happiness and will help you feel better about yourself.


19.  Pick up a hobby.  Be creative




20.  Save up money and travel somewhere new.  Try the sunrise at the top of Mount Haleakala in Maui.  You will literally feel like you are in heaven.

21.  Laugh at yourself. If you trip over your feet or realise your shirt is on inside out, don’t worry about it and make it a joke.

22.  Do karaoke.  Do it sober. Do it drunk.   Sing. I read somewhere that the more you sing, the happier and healthier it will make you.





23.  Eat less processed food. If you actually knew what was in that sh*t, you would be disgusted. Watch the Christmas Giftsdocumentary “Food Inc.”  , if you want to have fries, with extra, extra ranch sometimes, do it.

24.  Dance.  Freak Dance.  Weird Dance. Make up a dance routine with your friends like you did when you were 12.  Stop caring about what you look like. Have fun.

25.  Smile more.  The more you smile, the happier you will feel. It makes others happier too — trust me.

26.  Do favours and don’t expect anything in return from the kindness in your heart.

27.  Guard your heart, but be open.  Don’t let people take advantage of you.

28.  Be less judgemental.  “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”

29.  Look up at the sky.  Realise that sunsets are gorgeous.  Look at the stars, as they’re pretty incredible, too.

30.  You will never be able to please everyone.  Not everyone will like you.  You won’t like everyone you meet.  That’s perfectly fine also.

Make Creativity Part of your Daily Life

Make Creativity a Part of your Daily Life Posted by Jodie Minds practicing creativity have changed the way we live and experience the world. Without them, it would not  be possible to sit down in a warm place reading these words that a person from   another part of the world wrote. For creativity, there is no limit. If we want to live in a better world, we can do it! We are all born with a creative mind. It is our nature. But many of us have lost strength in our “creative muscle”. How to fix that? We just need to use it more often to make it grow nice and strong! And just as in every other activity that we restart to do after some time without practicing it. It will get hard at the beginning. So, we will need some patience!Remember past times as a kid. Transforming boxes, chairs, bed sheets into enormous castles, mystical caves, sports cars, modern spaceships and many other amazing things? Fear of making the fool was not there, fear of “what ...

The Benefits of Op-Shopping

The Benefits of Op-Shopping – You’ll Love it! Posted by Jodie 1.    It is ethical and environmentally friendly Being ethical and kind to the environment is so “in” right now, but we’ve been doing it for years. Buying clothes at the op shops cuts out the worry of whether or not it was made in a sweat shop. Buying second hand clothes and goods is recycling, keeping stuff out of the landfills. We interrupt the cycle of buy, use, throw away. 2.    It saves you money The obvious one. Why buy brand-new clothes for hundreds of dollars when you can buy a whole new wardrobe for the cost of one of those brand-new clothes? Why buy brand-new clothes for your children that they grow out of in 6 months, when you can stock their drawers full of op-shop goodness for a quarter of the price? Why buy brand new items of furniture and home ware when the same things are available in the op shops where they are cheaper, built to last and have character? 3. ...

Only you can Bring out the Best in You

Only you can Bring out The Best in You Posted by Jodie Self love begins with the inner confidence that you can do it – and the belief that your’re worth the effort! Believe We’re all inspired by women who break records, change the world or just have an amazing life.  But what’s  stopping us from joining them? Self belief.  The simple act of believing in yourself is the difference between amazing and average – it’s that simple. When we’re young, it might be a lack of self confidence that holds us back.  Later in life, we can get caught up with reponsibilities to others.  Either way, it’s easy to put yourself at the back of the queue.  But remember settling for second best stops you from being YOUR best! Put yourself first and your positive energy will resonate like a shining light.  Then instead of just being inspired by others, you will become an inspiration yourself! BUT HOW DO WE BEGIN? IT STARTS NOW! ...
