10 easy points

Since it is very fashionable to make lists,i tried to make a list of ten ways in which you can improve the quality of your life:

1. it is essential to spend some time alone with yourself everday. not all of us can meditate successfully,but we can,at least, collect our thoghts together. sometimes it helps to write your thoughts down; you can feel the weight visibly lifting from our mind(and indeed you heart).

2. In times of stress, imagine the worst outcome of whatever it is that is worrying you. you will,then,suddenly realize that it isn't worth the worry. Sometimes , you can conjure up a mental picture of actually digging a hole in the ground and burying your worry. It may , perhaps,fade from your mind.

3. Do something new and challenging each day( like speaking to someone you don't usually speak to).Sometimes, it is important to get out of your comfort zone.

4. Make learning a continuous process- pick up a newspaper,read a book or browse the internet. Learning something new daily will make you a better conversationalist and enhance your creativity.

5. Combine mechanical physical work with an activity you enjoy. Listen to music will travelling/cleaning your room,/waiting for an appointment. If ou enjoy talking to someone,do so when you feel like it.catch up with old friends at regular intervals.....attend the reunions ,little get-togethers.

6. Go outside and look at the night sky. you will realize how vast the universe is ,and that you are only a speck in it. it will create in you a natural sense of humility and also a sense of timelessness about the continuity of you life.

7. find out what makes you happy. rate your overall satisfaction with each activity on a scale 1-10. that will help you to understand which one adds more meaning to your life. tr to include more of those everyday.

8. when you remember something ,do it at once.posponement can mean oblivion; or mark against the date on the calender, the nearest when you can do it.

9. Actively express appreciation. Smile a lot, give lots of warm hugs. Sometimes a simulation of happinass can actually generate joy.

10. Forgive little hurts. It is up to you whether you wish to take offence. we do not,after all, receive it.

relax and things will fall into place.

warning: not to be put to actual practice....only to be enjoyed in print!!
