The 100 Day Challenge is a Challenge That Will Change Your Life

By: Mark Jimson Are you willing to take a personal challenge that will change your life? This is not just about setting priorities and goals. But you will be doing that. These goals will determine your destiny and your personal wellness. They will also have a remarkable effect on those you love. But before we start off... Let me ask you an important question. "How do you see yourself?" Is what you see real, or is it a false perception? There is a verse in the Bible that states, "The truth will set you free." There is no one that will deny the truth of this statement. Even those who do not agree that the Bible is the Divine Truth will accept this quote as the truth. It's undeniable. So, the way you see yourself is of vital importance when it comes to being able to change the outcome of your future. Accepting the truth here is absolutely essential. You can not deal with a perception. The change you want will not happen if what you start with is false. Grab that mirror of introspection and begin to examine yourself. Ask the tough questions. Once you have started answering those questions, don't back down. You will have to make some tough confessions. Death and taxes are two things that are guaranteed to everyone, but there is something else too. What is real counts too. Too many of us put far too much time and effort into denying the truth and living in false perceptions of ourselves. Futility is hoping that our fantasy will become reality. Why do so many horrible things happen to US. Why not to those around us who appear to pick diamonds out of the trash at every turn. Let there be no doubt, undesirable consequences exist in life. You can't just make believe they don't happen. But you can accept them and move on instead of sinking into a pit of self denial. The bottom line here is obvious. Personal lies damage any possibility of success. It not only affects your forward motion, it changes your attitude and it ruins your relationships. Your character becomes suspect. Others will avoid you like the flu. And, quite honestly, it makes YOU sick. Worse, you don't know why because you are avoiding the truth. Accept it. Facts are facts. This will make your decisions much more effective. Once you accept the truth, it's time to take action to "fix" what's wrong. This may be tough, but anything that is worth doing will probably (not probably, definitely) require some commitment and effort on your part. It took you your whole life to get to where you are right now. It can't be too much to ask to commit a few weeks to get out of this rut you are in. And the results are sooo much more rewarding than where you are at the moment. Don't be discouraged. There will be lots of doubts and uncomfortable times. This is only natural. You will probably think, "It's not worth it." But the worth is in the results. Challenge yourself, and take a firm stand. Maybe you will benefit from an accountability partner. Get some help. Find an accountability partner. Don't put this one off like the other good ideas that have come and gone. If you wait, it's liable to end up in the same place all your other "good intentions" have gone. Jump on it now! Anyone really serious about achieving excellence and personal mastery should continue to develop the habit of personal introspection (examining premises and beliefs) or the old habits and thought processes will sneak back in. You will be faced with times of discomfort and hardship. You will want to quit, but don't give in this time. "The truth will set you free." http://www.articlebiz.com/article/1051346113-1-the-100-day-challenge-is-a-challenge-that-will-change-your-life/

Ten Steps Toward Happiness

1. FORGIVE
Forgiveness is not a gift you give to others, it is a gift you give to yourself. Work on letting go of past hurts so that you can live a happier and more fulfilling life. Harboring animosity toward someone else does not help you get even with the other person, it only harms you. It wastes your time and energy that you could devote to something more beneficial in your life. I know it doesn’t seem right for the person who was hurt to have to do the additional work of forgiving and letting go, but would you rather be self righteous or would you rather be happy? The choice is up to you. Always remember to forgive yourself too.

2. ACCEPT YOURSELF

Learn to accept and love yourself just as you are. Accept yourself with all of your good qualities and your faults. Your worth isn’t determined by how many times you have succeeded or failed or by how much money you have. Nor is it determined by who you know, what you do or what you look like. Your value to the world is determined by what is in your heart. Remember that you are perfect just the way you are. There is nothing else you need to do or be in order to be worthy of love. 

3. HELP OTHERS

If you want the shortcut to happiness, here it is! You can help anyone you wish, just pick something to do that gives you joy and comes from your heart. Whether you choose to help children in hospitals, homeless animals, the elderly, the poor, the sick, or wildlife doesn’t matter - whatever is closest to your heart is fine. Even if you aren’t ready yet to commit to a major cause, just give out kindness wherever you see it is needed. Giving out smiles and compliments is not only a great way to start, but a wonderful habit to get into. Kindness costs nothing and can bring you a great deal of joy. If you see someone who seems a bit down, just give them a big smile. That can make more of a difference in a person’s day than you can imagine. Remember that your actions and your words should always come from your heart.



4. STOP WORRYING

Worry takes you away from the present moment and strips you of your energy. I can’t tell you how many years of my life I lost being caught up in worry. I remember being so absorbed in possibilities of future events that I could not even feel anything in the present moment. I lived for the weekends, but could not enjoy them once I got there and seemingly wonderful events were always tainted by that ever present feeling of dread. I couldn’t even relax on vacation. Did all that worrying achieve anything? Nope! Did any of the things I worried about ever come to pass? Only in my mind, I lived them over and over again and experienced that torture on a constant basis. Don’t do that to yourself. Worrying about something will NEVER do anything to solve any problem. Worrying just forces you to repeatedly experience horrible things that may or may not even occur. Let it go! Even if the event does come to pass, it is better to only experience it once than several times, and usually the imagined events are far worse than anything reality would ever throw your way. Make a conscious choice to make every moment of your life count. Live in the present, enjoy the people around you and give 100 with them. When you are in a conversation, you are there with the person you are speaking to and not off somewhere else. When you visit a new place, you really drink it all in and experience it. 

Enjoy each experience fully and experience everything fully without thinking about what needs to get done or what the future holds. 

6. FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE

Stop paying attention to depressing things and focus instead on happiness. I stopped watching the news a long time ago and usually will just pop in a funny movie so I can control the content of what I am seeing. My internet homepage is customized with what I want to see and nothing more (this is where I get my weather updates for those of you who are wondering). It isn’t that I am avoiding reality, I just know that there is no use in seeing things that stress me out or make me sad. That doesn’t do anything to improve the situation and it just strips me of energy I could put to better use. 

7. MEDITATE 

Meditation helps you to slow down and look within. Take a few minutes each day and focus on your breath. Feel yourself breathing in and out. If thoughts come into your mind just release them with your breath as you breathe out. This is a great tool for learning to be present and a great way to discover the things that are bothering you so you can release them. As things come up, just let them go as you breathe out. As you think of things you need to do just let those go as well. Meditation is your me time, that little space during the day that is just for you.

8. EXERCISE

You don’t have to be a marathon runner to benefit from exercise, I certainly am not. What I am saying here is for you to just not be a lump on the couch. Get up and go take your dog for a nice walk. Play with your children. Do some yoga. Even clean the house. It doesn’t have to be much, just get moving! 

I will pair this one with eat healthy food, obviously!

9. LAUGH

Laughter is important - it relaxes you and triggers reactions in the body that are beneficial to your health and happiness! Do things every day to make yourself laugh. Watch funny movies. Watch your kids or pets play, or better yet, play with them. Read funny books. Talk to funny people. Do things to make others laugh and laugh along with them. Laugh at yourself. Laugh, laugh, laugh! 

10. LOVE

Love is the essence of who we are and why we are here. Love is the source of life and the farther you are from it the less energy and drive you will have to make positive things happen. Love more and you can become more. Love freely, deeply and fully. Love everyone around you including yourself. Remember that the more you give, the more you will receive in return. Live your life from love and happiness will follow you wherever you go.

How Gratitude Can Be Your Partner in Life

By: Sonia Devine

Are you constantly struggling with life? If so, you might be focusing on all the wrong things. Practising daily gratitude will help you to turn your life around. Want what you have and what you want will come to you!

Gratitude is one of the most important things you can practise if you want to manifest unlimited wealth. One of the best ways to keep abundance and wealth flowing into your life is to give thanks for what you have today. By focusing on what you already have, you allow yourself to receive even more, so it is really vital to practise true gratitude.

We live in a world that focuses on instant gratification. If we don't have the money for something that we want to buy right now, then all we have to do is go to the bank and they are more than happy to loan us the money. As a result, many people are inundated in debt, and they become trapped in a never ending cycle of wanting, buying, and then spiralling deeper in debt.

When we get stuck in this cycle, we are constantly wanting things that we don't have, and in the process, we forget to appreciate what we DO have; Every day, we remind ourselves of what we are missing in our lives, and we can't begin to grasp the concept of gratitude. Instead, we say:

"When I have everything I want...THEN I'll be grateful!"

But that is not the way the Universe works....

Are you always comparing what you have with what others have, or wishing you could have what is advertised on TV? Or perhaps the people who live next door have a better car, a nicer house and more "things to play with" than you. Of course, it doesn't help when pictures of the "perfect family" with the "perfect life" are right on that TV screen in front of you every day. Do you feel deprived, frustrated or angry because you don't have what seems to be on offer to everybody else?

Whatever your situation is, focusing on what is lacking in your life is the single most effective way to ensure that you remain in a
state of scarcity.

You might ask this question: But How Can I Show Gratitude When I Don't Have What I Want Yet?. And that IS a good question; so here's a good answer: Make A Habit Of It.

Now, if you have become accustomed to only seeing scarcity all around you, then my guess is that gratitude will be the last thing on your mind. So the suggestion I am going to make may be difficult for you at first; I would even go as far as to say that you may feel a bit resentful about having to do it.

Some people don't want to take responsibility for the fact that they are not doing well financially. It's so much easier for us to blame other people and outside circumstances for our lack of wealth; because if it's all other people's fault, 

then we don't have to do anything ourselves in order for "things to change".. right??

Well Okay, that's fine if you're happy for things to remain exactly as they are now. But if not, why not give this a go? You have everything to gain and nothing to lose! So make a commitment to change the way you see your life. Take stock of everything you have. You might be surprised and even amazed at all of the little things that you forgot are so special to you.

Begin by writing of all the positive things you have in your life. Who loves you? Who are your friends? What about your children. How do they light up your life? These are just a few things that we forget about that add so much value and joy to our lives.

Practising gratitude each day will remind you of the good things in your life. Now, I don't want to sound like a Pollyanna, but this is worth a try! If nothing else, it will help you feel better about your current life circumstances. Add something new to your gratitude list each day, and you'll be amazed at how many great things you will be able to think of once you develop this skill!

When you are grateful for everything you already have, you open yourself up to attract more great things. The Law Of Attraction always makes sure that this will happen. Thank the Universal Source for everything you currently have, and you will invite and allow even more prosperity to come to you. Make gratitude a part of your daily routine....and witness miracles in your life!

How to practice effectively...for just about anything - Annie Bosler and Don Greene

Mastering any physical skill takes practice. Practice is the repetition of an action with the goal of improvement, and it helps us perform with more ease, speed, and confidence. But what does practice actually do to make us better at things? Annie Bosler and Don Greene explain how practice affects the inner workings of our brains.

Build Your Social Support Network

By: Linda Dessau


First, let's talk about why social support is important and why it matters to your self-care. Research has shown that a lack of social support (isolation) can contribute to an ongoing state of chronic stress, which will negatively impact your immune system and put you at risk for dangerous conditions.

Now, what can strengthening your social support network do for you? Social support can improve the functioning of your immune system, protecting you from disease, and it can increase your vitality, decrease your stress and improve your self-esteem.

WHAT MAKES A SOCIAL SUPPORT NETWORK SOLID?

STRENGTH - Make sure that you're not counting on one or two people to provide all the support you need. That can be hard on them, and on you (if they're suddenly unable to be there for you). Reach out regularly to several people. 

VARIETY - Similarly, having many people in your support network gives you access to their different skills, perspectives and experiences. 

COMMON GROUND - If you're dealing with a particularly difficult challenge or have a very specific goal, then finding and regularly interacting with others in the "same boat" can have extremely beneficial results. Whether it's finding out how others have handled a situation, or sharing some of your experience, groups like this can be a great boost to your self-care program. 

SOMETHING TO REACH FOR - Make a point of building or strengthening your relationships with people who inspire, encourage and support you, and who empower you to grow and to be your best self. For instance, someone who is very committed to his or her own self-care will inspire you to make positive self-care choices. And someone who is very loving and supportive will help you to feel good about yourself.

5 WAYS TO NURTURE YOUR SUPPORT NETWORK

1. Call or write when things are good as well as when they're not. Sharing your gratitude and appreciation can help to deepen your relationships and will also intensify your good feelings.

2. Be open to new people. You never know when someone new is going to come into your life or the unique gifts they will bring. I believe that sometimes we're meant to connect with certain people only briefly - so instead of thinking, "I don't have time for a new friend,", go with your heart and get curious about what you can learn from interacting with this person.

3. Offer to help. Whether it's people you know or people you haven't met yet (i.e. through a volunteer position), helping others can be a wonderful boost for your own self-care. AND remember that YOUR self-care still comes first!

4. Live by the Four Agreements, as created by Don Miguel Ruiz - Be impeccable with your word, don't take anything personally, don't make assumptions and always do your best. For more information about the Four Agreements, visit http://www.miguelruiz.com/agreements.html. 

5. If you don't feel like talking to anyone, talk to someone. Sometimes we choose to be isolated. It can be really difficult to reach out when we feel like this. Do it anyway.

It's important to remember that your social relationships can also have a negative impact on your self-care. Unspoken truths, unintentional sabotage, or continuously taking on the role of care-giver can all add stress and affect your commitment to self-care.

So instead, nourish your positive relationships and keep your social support network strong and working for you.

What it Means to Take Charge of Your Life

BY ARTICLECITY BLOG

Our modern world can be a crazy, confusing and sometimes dangerous place.

It’s easy to get swept up in the chaos. But how do we avoid it?

Having to bring home the bacon, pursue or maintain a lasting intimate relationship, keep up a healthy lifestyle, build a successful career and lead a happy, fulfilled life seems like an impossible undertaking.

Does all this make you feel out of control? A victim of circumstance? Unable to take it all on and live the life you truly desire?

Do you look at other people who seemingly have it all and wish you could figure it out for yourself?

If it does, you are not alone.

Most people live their entire lives missing out on the vast wealth of joy available to us.

We get stuck in a job that just maintains us, but doesn’t fulfill us.

We “settle” for a relationship that at best feels safe and comfortable.

We eat unhealthy, “easy” food and don’t exercise because there “isn’t time” to do it right.

But don’t lose hope! It is possible to take charge of your life and have it all!

Where We Fail

How we manage the cornucopia of stress and responsibility of daily life is key.

Unfortunately, it’s all too easy to get wrapped up and rely on bad habits and quick fixes to ease our restless minds, hearts, and bodies.

You’ve made the decision you want to eat healthier. But you had a long day at work, and it’s just easier to turn off into that drive-through and start eating healthier tomorrow. Have you done this recently?

Maybe you determined you’d do some meditation to alleviate that daily stress. But a long day of taking care of the kids leads you to just have that cocktail or two before passing out to do it again the next day. Sound familiar?

An exciting new job opportunity arises in a field you’ve been wanting to explore. But the safety and comfort of your “survival job” pays the bills. So, you decide you just aren’t prepared, it’s too risky, and let the interview slide. Are you guilty?

All of these things are just a “flinch,” a way we push our true selves down and allow life to live us, rather than live life.

It doesn’t have to be this way!

Reclaim Your Power

“Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask yourself if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.” – Deepak Chopra

All too often we allow our habits to control us. It’s time to reclaim your personal power and make a change.

Here are a few things that you can and will discover when you reclaim your power and take charge of your life:

• Fear is not your enemy
• Personal responsibility is more powerful than victimhood
• Focus on what you want, not what you think you need
• Forgiveness, of yourself and others, will lead you to freedom
• Nothing lasts forever

I know you have the ability to take charge of your life and reshape it into that sparkling vision of happiness you deserve.

If you are ready to take the next step, Craig Beck’s Personal Power Coaching Club is the perfect place to start.

Self Improvement Has Never Been Easier Since subliminal messaging

By: Sonia Walsh

There are many programs on the market that demand huge investments of time and money, subliminal messaging does neither and will get you what you want out of life.

Any choice to improve yourself begins with you and your willingness to take that first step and put it into action. A serious commitment is needed for you to reach that higher state of living you so desire. Personal development is simpler and more attainable than ever before with subliminal audio.

These audio recordings need to be played and listened to, but they don't require you to focus and concentrate on anything per say. What subliminal messaging will do is inspire thoughts and give solid foundations to your thought patterns helping you reach your goals.

On top of the easy approach, any logical resistances your mind would normally put up are bypassed by the subconscious comprehension achieved by subliminal messaging. This allows you to tackle the largest issues in your own life and make changes that typical ‘conscious’ self help programs are incapable of.

Because you are sending information into the subconscious mind you can avoid any logical mental resistances and make powerful changes from within , changes which really will have a massive impact on your patterns of thinking, your self beliefs and your entire life.

There are a massive amount of targeted subliminal tracks which will place you on the fast track to growing to be the very best person you can be. You can literally get a subliminal album for almost everything - from weight loss to stopping smoking, improving confidence, developing memory, even to help you to achieve success with the subliminal law of attraction and much more.

I know this all sounds fantastic, and subliminal audio really can be if it is used properly, nevertheless it is just not an immediate ticket to success. You must really want the change and put in real effort in your everyday life to make it happen.

If you are focused and committed to changing then subliminal audio will be your best friend and help you to achieve your goals much faster, and much more naturally.

5 Self Improvement Tips You Need to Try to Live Your Best Life

BY DALE HARRIS

According to a recent study, a shockingly sad 85% of people say they suffer from a lack of self-confidence.

To make matters worse, only one out of every three Americans say they’re currently happy with where they are in life.

Worldwide, only 13% of people say they’re enthusiastic about going to work everyday. 

These statistics all point to one thing: most people seem at least somewhat unsatisfied with their lives.

Are you one of them?

If so, you need to read this post. We’ve collected 5 of the top self improvement tipsyou need to try to start seeing your life — and yourself — in a better light.

1. Enroll In A Self Improvement Course

Sometimes, you need the support of a group environment to help you propel yourself forward.

A group mentality doesn’t just hold you accountable. It also allows you to listen to the stories of others who may have faced the same challenges as you — and came out on the other side.

Look at options like the avatar energy master target course or even look for local mental health support groups to get started.

2. Stop Comparing Yourself To Others

It’s natural to want to see how you stack up in comparison to those around you. Social media has made it easier than ever.

It’s so simple to get stuck in a cycle of self-loathing, anxiety, and jealousy when compare where you are in life to your friends of family members.

Doing this will only hold you back. Remember, no matter how it might look on Facebook, these people also have their own challenges.

Plus, everyone has their own set of circumstances that influence the choices they make.

Our best advice? Log off, and celebrate your own accomplishments.

3. Ask Yourself This One Question Every Day

Many of us set lofty goals for ourselves — and we want to achieve them quickly.

However, get realistic about your pacing, and the actual attainability of these goals.

Before you fall asleep every night, ask yourself this question:

“What is one thing I did today that got me a step closer to my goals?”

This way, you’ll be able to clearly see that, even if all your dreams didn’t come true overnight, you’re well on your way to making them happen.

4. Give Back

Many of us struggle with a sense of self-worth. However, very few of us realize just how important we are to so many around us.

One way to start understanding how much you matter is by giving back.

Get involved in local volunteer work. Assist in taking care of your community garden, or volunteer at a local soup kitchen.

Even donate some of your own clothing to a shelter, or office your design services to a nonprofit.

This will help you to see the value in your life, and you’ll understand that even small actions can make a big difference.

5. Remember: You Deserve Success

Many people wrongly feel that the reason they aren’t successful is because they don’t deserve to be.

Stop beating yourself up over past choices and wishing you’d done things differently. You know in your heart that you’re just as worthy of success as every else.

Changing your mindset — and even repeating positive mantras to yourself in the mirror — will boost your self-confidence.

Use These Self Improvement Tips To Boost Your Self-Worth

We hope these five self improvement tips have reminded you about the importance of self-care.

No matter where you are in life, it’s always important to check in with yourself. Taking some time to focus on you is far from selfish — in fact, it can help you be more productive and more empathetic to the people around you.

Midlife Crisis is a scam

By: Yong Mu Ming

Good for you, because what you are about to discover is a proven system to get you out of it easily. Have you caught yourself using phrases like ‘Monday-blues, Work life balance and Thank God its friday’? Chances are, this is not your fault. Our culture is so used to tapping into entertainment as a solution to our stress. What would it be like if you are living with fulfilment in every aspects of your life anytime and anywhere, starting from today? What would it be like if you’re paid for who you are and what you love? What would it be like if your family members are inspired by the contribution they know they’re making every single day? When your 4P of life is in alignment, miracles happens. They are your Personality, Passion, Purpose and Practices.

Personality

Personality is what enables you. Have you fully utilise your true strengths and preferences? I’ve facilitated in a class and met a lady manager whom suppressed her true energetic self just to portray herself as the ‘right’ relational image as a human resource manager. She could be an HR manager who gives bright ideas to move the department to the next level. She could also use bright ideas and her energy to build relationship as people wants to experience the joy around cheerful people like her!

1. I often visit _____ because…

2. I am more of a doer/ thinker/ relationship builder/ communicator, that’s why I tend to…

3. In a team of 5-10 people, the 3 contributions I think only I can make are…

Passion

Passion is what excites you. We’re going to work for more than 50% of our life anyway. Why not choose to be paid for passion and live an exciting life? It is very sad at how our culture has over glorified professions like lawyers, doctors, accountants and dentist. I’ve a doctor friend who feels that he is born a craftsmen yet it is a struggle for him to switch out of it. Imagine yourself actually doing the things you love and get paid by it, that must be one of the best experience you can have in life! Fortunately, with the help of technology, we can learn anything, anytime and anywhere. What do you want to improve on to achieve better results for your passion? Ask google, period :)

4. Before I die, I want to…

5. The 3 things that I’m always amazed about are…

6. If I have 3 arts/works that can support me for a lifetime, they will be…

Purpose

Purpose is what empowers us. While dreams and passion are said to give life to our works everyday, I believe that it only kickstarts what we really want to do in life. I believe, on the other hand, purpose is the inner core of what keeps us going. On top of having a dream, great leaders like Martin Luther King, Steve Jobs and Nelson Mandela have a strong vision and purpose to do what they do in life. They want to fight for mankind, peace and something worthy.

7. I strongly believe that…

8. The 3 things that frustrates me most in life are…

9. The 3 reasons why people should give a ‘crap’ about my ‘crap’ are…

Practice

Practice is what expresses you. It all makes sense only when we put our strengths, desire and beliefs into practice. Fortunately, the world has changed, and now is time for us to change the world. Take a video, upload to YouTube and you’ve setup a TV channel. Record an audio, upload to iTunes, you’ve just setup your Radio Station. Find a blog, choose a theme and you’ve just setup a business and movement.

10. When my personality, passion and purpose are in alignment, my life practices will be something like….

For example

I tend to think and share ideas with people about life. I love to create blueprints to keep myself aligned towards my goals and think of new ideas to improve quality of life. I feel for people who’re unfulfilled in their life because my early education experience does not affirm me for what I can do, while guiding me into a places where I don’t wish to go. That’s why I startup Brakefreee community with simple roadmap for like-minders who wants to live fulfilling life to come together, share issues and ideas to overcome and grow as a community.

Ten Powerful Keys to Healing Yourself

By: Wayne McDonald

1. Be Present
Live in the now. The past is gone. You can never go back and make it right. You can never re-live a life that was yesterday. Live positively in the present moment, no matter what is occurring. It is All right and perfect. Do not look ahead and dread what may come. Our mind creates a lot of chatter and makes us afraid in order to keep us safe. Tell your mind "Thanks for sharing" and affirm "I am here, I am present". You are always at choice and you know how to make this day beautiful.

2. Nature
Sit on the lawn or next to a tree. Feel the pulse of the earth, the grandeur of the sky, the coolness of the breeze on your face, or the warmth of the sun on your face. Smile at nature, say hello to the bugs and all the animals you meet. Take a walk in a park or hike on a trail.

3. Exercise
Daily exercise gives you a break from ! your mind chatter, helps pump your heart, circulates your blood, clears toxins from your body, charges you with energy and has many other benefits. Choose an activity that is fun and mix it up. Do walking one day and yoga another day. Take a Tai Chi class and meet new people. The list of possibilities is endless.

4. Spirituality
Recognize and know you are important and unique. Meditate, or sit quietly, and be in the moment. Read books that are uplifting and have positive messages. Give thanks for your health, your home, your friends, all the joy and happiness in your life and all the good that surrounds you.

5. Forgiveness
It is time to let it go. Forgive all parts of yourself to be whole and perfect. Forgive yourself for any past mistakes or shortcomings; forgive the child within for being afraid; forgive the teenager that spoke words of anger; forgive the young adult for not being a risk taker. Forgive others in the past. Forgive your parents, your siblings and relatives. Let go of all grudges. Forgiveness is about coming to peace within yourself.

6. Bubble Bath
Give yourself permission to relax and savor quiet times. Read a book for fun. Spend that extra money and get a massage or a facial. Do something selfish for yourself.

7. Nutrition

Listen to your body. Feed it good nutritious food. Take a high quality multi-vitamin or a liquid supplement. Most health challenges can be reduced or eliminated with a dietary supplement.

8. Let Go of Judgment
Give up judgement and give up blame. Never speak critically of others or yourself. Speak words of encouragement to yourself and everyone you meet. Accept everyone for who they are and embrace their differences.

9. Service To Others
Reach out and lend a hand to a friend in need. Offer unconditional service to others. Be a great listener and really listen to people when they speak. Find ways to help others to lift their spirits and help lessen their burdens.

10. Love
Love yourself and use positive words of encouragement. Compliment strangers and make others smile. Speak from a loving heart and shine with joy.
