#101 Do the Best You Can

Find joy. Everything else is optional

That’s it! A list of 100 things that you can do on any given day to start to feel better, with no pressure to try to do everything all of the time. Life is an accumulation of little experiences and accomplishments and successes and failures. No single day needs to be perfect, but in each day if you remember to do at least one thing that makes you feel better then you are on the right path.

Make it easy on yourself to take care of yourself. Start with the basics – get enough sleep, drink plenty of water, and eat some fruits and vegetables every day. After that you can add other things from the list, or not. Do what you can and then forget about it. We can’t live perfectly every day, nor is it necessary. 

If nothing else, take away from this list the realization that there are multiple things you can do to truly make yourself feel better. Make sure that they fit your lifestyle. When you start to take care of yourself – body, mind, and soul – then you will be in a better position to roll with the waves of life and take good care of those around you.

Success comes from reaching for your dreams and enjoying the journey along the way. Treat your body well so that it can support you in everything you dream of doing. Don’t take your health for granted until something goes wrong. Likewise, learn to breathe deeply and calm your mind to minimize stress and the damage that it can bring. 

Live with a sense of purpose and the knowledge that you have some control every day to do things that can help you stay happy and healthy for a long time. Take it easy and never lose your sense of humour. Whatever is happening now, as long as you are still alive for another day there is a possibility to change everything about your life. 

Take it easy and pay attention to the little things around you. Embrace each day like the wonderful gift that it is, and fill your heart with love. May you find everything you are looking for in life, and may it be what you hoped it would be when you get it.

Live well.

Do the Body Right

My weekly fruit haul. When you eat a lot of this, it leaves less room for a lot of other stuff

You can’t get away from yourself.

No matter what you do, where you go, what types of behaviours you indulge in, or what you think about all day long, there is no escape.

You come into this world in a body and, although it changes constantly, you will be in it until you are gone.

Is there any reason to make this an unpleasant place to live? If you are going to be in the same body every single day, wouldn’t you rather it be a pleasant relationship?
