All last month I spent 31 days making my August Awesome! I created my list of tips, inspiration and ideas and invited friends to follow along on social media taking a moment out of the day to appreciate this awesome life we live (yes - all of us!)
Of course it doesn't have to be August - any month is a good month to stop and appreciate your awesome life - and here are 31 ideas to get your started. Jump in at any time - with the corresponding day of the month or just pick out an idea at random and DO IT!!
- There are 2 ways to get richer. Have more or want less! Wanting less is more satisfying & healthier for you!
- You're wiser than you've ever been and you'll never be this young again! How will you take advantage of this moment?
- Ditch the scales - Don't let a piece of junk determine how you're going to feel about yourself. Measure waist not weight!
- No media day! Just for today turn off the TV, radio, smart phones, computers & anything else that poisons the mind - talk!
- Ban technology from the bedroom - permanently! Make your bedroom a place of peace & tranquility set the mood for sleep & love
- Squat! Don't just stand there waiting for the shower, elevator, bus, or cooker! Squat, keep squatting, and feel the burn!
- Be silent! Turn off the noise to get in your head, escape from everything, however briefly. Be still & enjoy the silence
- Make 3 lists; things you enjoy, things you're good at, things you can get paid for. The one activity in all 3 lists is your perfect career!
- Eat green! Buy 5 new greens on your next grocery shop. Use Google & your imagination to discover new recipes & explore
- Go one whole day with no caffeine in your life; make it 2 or 3, Now keep going till the headaches disappear. How do you feel?
- Breathe! At every opportunity be quiet & concentrate on deep belly breathing. In thru the nose & out thru the mouth. Repeat.
- Take time out! Just once today take 1/2 hour, find a quiet place alone, lie down & let your mind wander without judgment
- Go the long way! Walk everywhere - don't take short cuts, use the stairs, take the long route & waste time - you DO have it!
- Water water water! Replace everything you'd normally drink today with a glass of cool, live-giving H2O. Filtered is best
- Double the stairs! Quite literally, every time you walk up/down stairs go back & do it again - EVERY time, & do it quicker!!
- It's ok to laugh! Find your favourite joke (Google it!) tell it to everyone & challenge them to beat it with one of their own
- Eat Raw! Cook nothing all day, eat only raw veggies, nuts, seeds and fruit (organic/ local if you can) Eat all you can!
- Treat everyone with kindness for all have their own personal battles. Treat yourself best - you may even thank yourself
- Random act of kindness! #RAK Do something good anonymously for a stranger. You'll never know the ripple effect you may start!
- Try a new workout! Sign up for a new class, try an online video or new piece of equipment, cycle instead of run - surprise your body
- Never aim for mediocrity, there's too much competition! Strive for the top; you'll be surprised at the amount of support!
- One minute #meditation! Sit, breath hard, fast & noisily 15 times, in thru' the nose, out thru' the mouth. Close your eyes & relax!
- Don't take yourself too seriously! Watch the people at the top of their game; lighten up & be like them - it's only life after all!
- 100 years from now You, Me, our problems, failures, won't mean a thing. The world will still keep on turning whether we mess up or not!
- Enjoy the ride! Everything we do now becomes a future memory, good, bad or in-between - make sure it's all worth remembering!
- Just for today find something positive in everything that happens & everyone you meet - it's there if you're open & willing to see it!!!
- Get up early! Just one day, get up an extra half hour/hour early. Use the time to relax quietly!
- Make time for a hearty breakfast - everyday! High in protein and healthy fat, low in sugar
- Chew your food - chewing aids digestion & helps you feel full quicker. Aim for 50 chews but try for at least 20 per mouthful
- Set goals! Always have at least one goal to achieve. Break it down into bite size steps and don't give up!
- Repeat!!! Start the whole list over and do it all again. Or make up your own list...
