20 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO EVERYDAY

1. Wake up earlier. Not only does this improve productivity but it also gives you more time to make a good hearty breakfast.
2. Make your bed. Let's be real, being welcomed to a tidy bed after a long day at work/school (or a long day in general) is probably the best feeling anyone will ever experience.
3. If you want, spend a little more time on your appearance. Take some time choosing an outfit, applying makeup or whatever. do what helps you boost your confidence and self-esteem.
4. Stay hydrated folks. Keep a bottle of water with you wherever you go.
5. Stretch everyday or start yoga.
6. Create a playlist consisting of songs that make you happy and listen to it. Listen to songs for the mood you want to be in.
7. Compliment at least one person per day. this could be an acquaintance, co-worker, classmate, stranger or whoever.
8. Use your manners. If someone holds the door for you, lets you go first etc, they did it voluntarily and didn't have to do it, so a thank you wouldn't hurt.
9. Eat your fruits or vegetables and always choose the healthy version over the junk food.
10. Have a good laugh. Catch up with friends, go see some some stand-up comedy, reminisce about funny moments that happened to you. You don't need to be a doctor to know that humour has many benefits.
11. Be optimistic. Always look at the positives. There's no point on focusing on the negatives because that isn't going to help anyones mood at all.
12. Exercise. It doesn't have to be anything too intense. A run around the block, a walk with your dog or a short dance session will do the job.
13. Bring a book or magazine or collect the daily newspaper with you. Spend your spare time reading.
14. Try and learn something new everyday. this can be an interesting fact you saw online or a new skill someone taught you.
15. Help others when you are able to. Help your classmates with school work or offer to help your struggling neighbour lift those heavy objects.
16. Stop procrastinating. No matter how unmotivated you are, push yourself and complete what you need to do. Do what you gotta do and you will love yourself for completing it.
17. Drink some tea because it's good for distressing.
18. Make time to do things that help you relax, whether it's painting, having a bath, doing your nails or going for a run.
19. Don't dwell on your mistakes, but instead grow and learn from them.
20. And lastly, be kind to yourself. If you love who you are, everyone else will!
