Also worth noting to share with you:
Advent Recipe
- Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate antidepressant.
- Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
- When you wake up in the morning, complete the following statement. “My purpose is to ___today.”
- Live with the 3 E’s — Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
- Play more games and read more books.
- Make time to pray. It provides us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
- Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.
- Dream more while you are awake.
- Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food manufactured in plants.
- Try to make at least three people smile each day.
- Clear clutter from your house, car, and desk, and let new, flowing energy into your life.
- Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, past issues, negative thoughts, or things you cannot control. Instead, invest your energy in the positive present moment.
- Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class, but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
- Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a college kid with a maxed-out credit card.
- Smile and laugh more.
- Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
- Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
- Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
- You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
- Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.
- Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
- No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
- Frame every so-called disaster with these words: “In five years, will this matter?”
- Forgive everyone for everything.
- What other people think of you is none of your business.
- GOD heals and forgives everything.
- However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
- Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick, but your friends will, so stay in touch.
- Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful, or joyful.
- Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
- The best is yet to come.
- No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, and show up.
- Do the right thing. Pray daily and attend Mass weekly or daily.
- Call your family often.
- Each night before you go to bed, complete the following statement: I am thankful for____; today, I accomplished_____
- Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
