There is a problem with the purposes of each year: they are born with the idea of making us better. There is nothing wrong with being better, more would be missing, but we will all agree that there is something more important ... be happy.
So the 10 things we (we) recommend doing in 2016 are not purposes, they are small goals of happiness ... here they go:
1. WANT MORE
Falling in love with oneself should be the purpose of the year, the century and the millennium. I'm not talking about throwing flowers, believing the king of the world or the smartest / handsome / funniest in the universe. Self-love has nothing to do with this. It's about valuing yourself and loving yourself a little more, because the worst enemy we have, all too often, is ourselves.
Well, it's very easy to say but ... How do we fall in love with us? Here we give you 3 ideas:
- Find a photo where you like it. Don't look for one where you come out perfect, perfection is an illusion. Find one where you remember that you were fully happy, where you laughed until you cried, where you feel beautiful or one that when you look at it makes you smile.
- Write on a sheet 3 things you like about your character. For example, I would say that I am brave - not everyone can boast of having peed with a snake looking at it - I am creative - although Picasso & co would have something to say about it - and I am loyal - with mine to infinity and beyond -.
- Find moments for yourself: a hot bath with butt foam and scented candles, reread your favorite book, go to the cinema to see that movie that nobody else wants to see, write a newspaper ...
- Bonus track: once a week (at least) listen to this song.
2. BE KIND
It's free, it suits you ... and others! If we were all kind to the people around us the world would be much better, Why don't you start?
3. TRAVEL MORE
Traveling is the best thing that has happened to us: we have visited wonderful places, known amazing people, enjoyed adventures and suffered misadventures, we have learned more than in the best university in the world... this is priceless. Do you know the best? If we did it, you can too! Besides, you don't have to go to the other side of the world to live adventures: explore your city, your region, your country, your continent ... the world is a place too cute not to see.
4. LEARN TO MEDITATE
It improves attention, reduces anxiety, relaxes, improves the immune system, reduces blood pressure, improves your emotional stability, gives you more mental clarity and inner harmony ... do you really not want to learn to meditate?
5. CREATE FUTURE MEMORIES
The key to 2016 being a great year is largely yours. Don't live your life passively, do things: travel, stay with friends, tell your family how much you love her, write a diary, take pictures of important moments and those of normalcy ... the little things are what make the difference.
6. ORGANIZE BETTER TIME
I do not know about you but I have a big problem with time management: I am substantially a boss in losing it by making jokes (social networks are very guilty as well as my tendency towards procrastination).
- A super simple trick that usually works is to have a Daily calendar where you can write down all the tasks you need to do.
- A trick, even simpler, close the fb window.
7. LEARN TO THANK YOU
Both the people around you (how much it sometimes costs to say the magic word ... how beautiful it is!) And life. One way to be more aware of the beauty around you is to have a notebook where write down 3 beautiful things that happened to you during the day.
8. READ MORE
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. He who never reads lives only one ”. What do you prefer? I have it clear! Hey, if you have nothing to read you can start with our book 😉
9.REMAKE THE OLD FRIENDSHIPS
You never have time, I know, but I tell you a secret: we all have exactly the same hours available in one day. The key is to prioritize... and in raising the ass of the sofa: word of a girl affected for a long time by 'acute divanitis'. Defeat laziness, pick up the phone and meet that friend you haven't seen in a while! Surrounding yourself with good people makes you a better person.
10. LEARN TO RELATIVIZE
Traveling opened our eyes in many aspects but still, sometimes, we drown again in a glass of water. Learning to relativize things and control negative thoughts is essential to live well... but how to do it? One trick is to try to see the situation from the outside and learn to distinguish whore from problems.
- The fucking They are tricks of life: you fall, get up and complain a little about the damage you have done.
- The problems They are more chungos: sometimes they leave us unable to walk because of the damage that we have done, but time heals everything and The scars are the testimony that we have survived.
