We all have this amazing ability to connect to everyone and everything around us. We are capable of doing it so intimately and innately, that it’s a wonder how disconnected we have become from each other and our world. Learn how to tap into what you’ve always had…the power of bonding, connecting, celebrating, appreciating and loving all that you are and can be.
1. A New Day
Making simple, conscious decisions about your everyday life can influence your physical and mental well-being. Following through on the right resolutions about your health and lifestyle choices is not difficult, especially if you have a firm idea of areas you want to improve, and understand that small, gradual steps typically have better results than cold-turkey or all-or-nothing approaches. Take some time today to consider areas of your life you would like to improve. You may want to be healthier, more generous, less stressed, or just more optimistic. Once you determine your goals, create a timeline and attach some simple steps. Consider your strengths and how they can help you on your path, as well as your weaknesses and ways you can work around and with them. If, during your progress, you take a step backward, keep looking forward. Most goals are reached with both good and bad days playing a part!
2. Enjoy the company of People In Your Life
Be mindful of constructive criticism. Learn to have patience and tolerance for others and respect their ideas, even if you disagree. Help your community so you can feel happy about yourself. Appreciate the little things in life. Help keep your community clean and encourage others to do so as well. Feeling good in your surroundings will help you feel good in other aspects of your life. Provide comfort, company, or help for your neighbors- whether that is visiting an elder weekly or maybe helping with yard work, a little love goes a long way. The knowledge must be in effect for the good of all. Each individual can be guided by the collective decisions of the community; be willing to take advice. You can also gather everyone to celebrate certain occasions together- it always turns out to be fun and you’ll gain friends in the process. “A genuine friend is someone who loves or likes another person for the sake of that other person.” -Aristotle. Establish quality friendships that will last a lifetime. As Epicurus was quoted through the Principal Doctrines; “Of all the means which wisdom acquires to ensure happiness throughout the whole of life, by far the most important is friendship.”
3. Appreciating Art
When was the last time you went to an art gallery, museum, or simply walked down the street and appreciated the public works of art that surround many of us? Viewing art is a wonderful way to raise your spirits. Paintings, sculpture, architecture and other forms of art can please the senses and nourish your nonphysical being. They can also inspire creativity and excitement, and can be savored as a tangible expression of history. Next time you see an interesting building, a challenging sculpture or a provoking painting, take a few minutes to look at it from different angles and enjoy the feelings you get from it.
