Have you ever thought, “Am I enjoying life to the fullest”? Think about it.
Many of us are too busy working, running, taking care of our own, stressing out, and thinking about the future to stop and enjoy the little things in life. We are literally too busy to live life without being stressed out.
Most of the time, we don't realize that it's worth living to the fullest except in times of crisis. But why? When did you become socially acceptable and encouraged to always be too busy to stop and smell the roses?
I say it's time for that narrative to change and for people to start enjoying life to the fullest. Because if all we do in life is stress, work, rinse and repeat, then what's the point of living?
There are many beautiful blessings all around us that we are too distracted to recognize. Life is short anyway. You too can experience the version YOU want to experience. Which I doubt is the stressful and busy type.
Let's change that for you and help us celebrate life and all the wonderful times you might be too busy to notice! Here are 25 things you can do today to live life to the fullest.
1- Wake up each day with a purpose.
You weren't put on this earth for nothing. None of us were. Every morning you must remember this fact.
When you wake up with a goal or something that you know you want to accomplish that day, your whole day instantly improves. Our state of mind is central to what we do and how we react to what happens to us, so remembering your goal every day is the key to a happy and balanced life.
2- Stop complaining.
Most of us complain every now and then, and complaining about harmless things once in a while is definitely healthy. However, there comes a time when the complaints become too numerous.
There are a lot of things that aren't worth complaining about, so the next time something is bothering you and you feel like letting off steam, ask yourself if it will still make a difference tomorrow. Most of the time, it will not. This is what makes it unnecessary to complain about something.
3- Go more slowly.
Between work, school, social life, family life, side projects and whatever life has in store for you, it may seem like you can never stop. If so, you need to start making an effort to relax every now and then. An easy way to do this is to spend as much time as possible, between 10 minutes and an hour, doing nothing.
4- Work smart, not hard.
Many of us make things a lot more complicated than they should be. Sometimes it's not that we do it on purpose but simply because that's all we know.
Structuring your tasks in a way that makes them easier and faster is the way to go. Lucky for us, technology has allowed us to do almost everything faster. Use it to your advantage.
5- Create joy for others
One of the easiest and most beautiful ways to enjoy life is to create joy for others. It's amazing how a helping hand can go into someone's life, so when life blesses you, be sure to bless someone along the way. So give it back without expecting anything in return.
6- Learn to manage your emotions.
Emotions are a funny thing. Some of us wear ours up our sleeve, and some of us suppress it entirely. The ideal is to have a healthy balance between the two, and don't be afraid to ask for help if you are having trouble expressing your emotions in a healthy way.
7-Love your body.
To love your body is to be at peace with what you have been blessed with and to work to improve it if you wish. It means feeding it properly, moving it daily and taking care of it. After all, it's the only body you have in this life.
8- Live without apologizing.
Do and be you. Be proud of all your quirks and differences! They are the ones who make you you!
9- See how you talk about yourself.
The way you talk about yourself has a direct impact on how you feel about yourself and what manifests in your reality. Instead of speaking to yourself with hate, make an effort to speak and think positively. Affirmations are a great start!
10- Work to improve yourself.
There are many areas of personal development that you can work on. Some good areas to start with are health, mindset, and finances. Keep learning and prioritizing your growth.
11- Allow time for personal care.
Burnout is no fun, which is why regular self-care is so important. Life is not just work, work, work. Rest and recharging should be just as crucial as restlessness, if not more.
12- Stop holding grudges.
Holding a grudge doesn't hurt anyone but yourself. It's like giving someone the power to live in your head for free. Forgive, learn from the experience, and move on. You won't believe how liberating this is going to be.
13- Celebrate success.
Do you get along every time you reach a personal goal? It should! Be proud of your achivements and celebrate every goal you reach. Become your own cheerleader, you deserve it!
14- Make each day special.
Find beauty every day. Take a nice walk in nature, enjoy an ice cream, watch your favorite movie again. There are so many little things you can do to make your days special, so make sure you do something for yourself each day.
15- Be your best friend.
Be comfortable being alone. Go out to eat. Watch movies yourself. It's nice to be with you from time to time.
16- Practice gratitude everyday.
No matter how worst things look, there is always something to be grateful for. Each day, remember all the blessings you have in your life. Be thankful for what you have.
17- Fill your space with pretty things.
Fill your space with beutifull things. It's motivating, relaxing and fun to be around, especially if you spend a lot of time there! Fill these places with a few things you're happy to see, like plants or art.
18- Let yourself be inspired instead of being intimidated.
Seek inspiration from successful people. No one is special, anyone can be successful in their life. It's okay to feel a little jealous when someone has something you want, but instead of being bitter about it, praise them and know you can have it, too.
19- Create routines that you really like.
Spending the day doing things you love is so easy it puts you in a good mood. You might not have a routine that you enjoy at work, but you are certainly in control of your routines at home. Take advantage of it and structure your days so that they are made up of activities that you enjoy.
20- Work to eliminate limiting beliefs.
You are who you think you are. If you think you are weak and unworthy, this is what you will become. Is this really what you want to think of yourself? Give yourself more credit. Make a list of the things you're good at and the things you love about yourself. Read daily if you need to get rid of these limiting beliefs.
21- Be a good person.
There is a lot of negativity and hatred in this world. Kindness doesn't cost anything, but that's it.
22- Let go of the difficulties of the past.
The past is in the past. Keep moving forward and know that all the evil that has happened to you has happened for a reason, perhaps to teach you a lesson. Take this lesson with you and don't look back, focus on the present and the future.
23- Spend time with those who encourage you.
Positive people have a huge effect on your happiness. Surround yourself with people you feel good with and motivate yourself regularly.
24- Take responsibility of your actions.
You are the main character in your life. Everything that happens to you is the result of an action you have taken, and it takes a lot of growth and maturity to realize that. Learning to take responsibility for your actions is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
25- Laugh often.
Laugh like there's no one around and never apologize for it.
