15 Healthy Practices You Already Know (But Should Go Ahead & Start Doing)

 

7. Make connections (in person!) with nature and people.

 

Life is amazing and beautiful, but you have to look up from your phone to see it. Please connect with nature and people in real life rather than through your technology. And when you are with them, keep your technology away. The filling of the heart and mind you’ll experience will surprise you.

 

8. Accept that it's OK to be bummed, but keep it in perspective.

 

Life can be very hard, and suffering can be overwhelming. So give yourself a break if you're bummed by something that feels trivial compared to the suffering in our world. It doesn't take away from your knowledge of how fortunate you are. If you’re overwhelmed by the larger picture, get smaller. Focus on those in your family or community you can impact daily in positive ways through your attitude and presence. Even though you can’t see it yet, it's changing the world for the better.

 

9. Be you.

 

Make the best of your unique gifts and appreciate your opportunity on this earth. You are worthy of any good that comes your way. Embrace it, embrace yourself, and shine on. Life is not a competition, so just bring your best, most sincere self forward and experience the joy in being you.
