Here are 8 actions that can make your life increasingly enjoyable. Limit screen time, cherish relationships, and do everything with full attention.
Wake up earlier
An extra 15 minutes gives you many opportunities to make your life more enjoyable. You can tidy up, meditate, cuddle with loved ones or pets.
Focus on one thing at a time
When you do something with full attention, you’re more productive, calmer, more effective, and happier. It also takes much less energy.
Limit screen time
How often do you find yourself on your smartphone without any real purpose? Be aware of these ‘empty’ phone moments. Give yourself the luxury of truly doing nothing instead.
Invest in your body
No body, no life. If your body functions well, your quality of life won’t be limited by your health. And that’s truly worth it. Eat more vegetables and fruit, less junk, move enough, and meditate regularly.
Keep a goal journal
By regularly writing down your goals, you keep your mind focused. Write about what’s happening in your life, what you’re thinking about, and what worries you. Organize your thoughts—get them out of your head.
Work smarter, not harder
Hard work is valuable—but only if you use it as a tool, not as a goal in itself.
Cherish relationships
Why? Because research after research shows that, in the end, it’s our relationships that determine how happy we are.
Stay in the moment
A great life is built on great moments. Not just the moments when you toast to big successes, but also the simple ones—like sitting on the couch and fully experiencing the now.
