a life worth loving
make a contribution:
join a charity as trustee or volunteer
give generously of time and money
become aware of the environment and waste
rather than be overwhelmed by the problems of the world, pick one country and one small project and look to make a difference
enjoy your time:
find three things that are better each day
complement three people each day
change activity when you are not able to ‘flow’
leave work early sometimes and go to the beach (or equivalent)
appreciate the seasons
take time to meditate/pray/reflect
keep a journal to become more aware of actions, reactions and progress
take daily time to switch off and disconnect (internet, mobile, pocket computer)
be creative:
change daily patterns (journey to work, times, lunch)
look up and look around
buy the type of newspaper you would never normally choose to read
ask more WHY questions
stretch your mind in a new direction (language, philosophy, history)
look for patterns around
ask What might happen if
join a society of
different
people
be a tourist – at home
