10 Ways to Improve Your Life
And a few more.
There are a zillion things that I need to work on. I gave it some thought, and these are the items that rose to the top of my list.
Exercise. I know you didn’t want to read this (and I didn’t want to write it), but it’s true — exercise improves the quality of your life. You don’t even have to do much. I walk, and then do other stuff when I can.

Eat some vegetables. Your Mom was right. You don’t have to go full Vegan to get lots of nutritional benefits from eating veggies.

Don’t lose money. This may be Warren Buffet’s most famous piece of advice, but it still holds up. Making risky investments, doing something illegal, or playing the lottery are all good ways to find yourself back in your parents’ basement.

Go to the doctor. I know two people who both found out they have cancer from routine tests.
Find your group. We are social beings.
Call your Mom. And everyone else who matters to you.
Help someone out. You may not feel like it. You may not think you can do much. But helping others can improve self-esteem and can provide perspective. Alfred Adler, a contemporary of Freud, went so far as to define mental health as “an interest in the interests of others.”
Ask for help. This is the hardest item on this list for me, and maybe for you too.
Try something new. Travel, or just take a new way home from the grocery store. Get some stimulation.
Save more money. No matter your age or your income, this is a good idea. If you haven’t got anything saved, start now.
Find your passion.
Have some fun.
Take a break. This blog can help.
