Every Wednesday is Tip Day.
This Wednesday: Tips for the minimum to do every day.
The beginning of a new year is a promising time to resolve to live a better life, but that goal can sure seem overwhelming. So here’s a list of a few things that everyone can do every day.
So, at the very least, after a discouraging day, I can comfort myself, as I climb into my smooth, tidy bed, “Well, at least I went for a walk. I ate an apple. I gave the Big Man a hug.”
Every day…
Make your bed.
Wear sunscreen.
Wear your seat belt.
Go for a ten-minute walk.
Eat a fruit or vegetable.
Put your keys away in the same place.
Touch everyone in your house with affection.
This ties in with the "what counts are your daily actions not the once-in-a-while actions", right?

It is the little things that make life good if we would just remember to do them. Thanks for the reminder.

Wonderful list Gretchen! I would also add "process your mail" and "do the dishes" to that list. These small habits will keep you from ever having to dig out from under a yucky pile of mail or nasty plates. :)

I'd add: take a shower/bath every day to that list. Makes you, and those around you happy :)

That's really nice, but everything should be done without THINKING and FORCING yourself. Of course, first we need to say ourselves: "I should do this and this". But it should not last all life, it should become our habit: so that we can feel it as something natural, something inside our souls.

I think exercise is a pretty good one, try to go for a walk, take the stairs whenever you can, it helps clear the mind and enhances your mood.
