Advice for living well

Stacey Grant

Have you ever thought that life was passing you by each day without mastering your basic goals? These goals could include eating well, dressing modestly, exercising enough or just keeping your environment clean. Do you take moments to reflect on the events of the day? Are you comfortable in our skin? How are your relationships?

Here are some some of my most significant approaches to living well:

Each day I try my very best to assume it’s going to be a good day. Starting the day with a positive, simple mindset helps to create a basis to manage my joys and woes. On my most productive days, I will also create a to-do-list (with times frames), which helps to mentally prioritize how I want the day to happen. I also leave room to be flexible or be available to help someone in need. Having a plan, and then learning to also go with the flow and spend time with people you care about also helps to build healthy relationships.

I will also intentionally do something outside. Fresh air has a wonderful way of clearing your mind, and while you walk outside, nature has many lessons--just keep looking!

Eating should go without mention, but I will briefly suggest that eating right, on time, and enough with modest portion sizes, helps me in making good decisions as I try to accomplish the goals on my list. I have a plant-based diet, which is one the best the decisions I have made in life. I have noticed that I am able to think better and make food exciting, and I have new desire to keep things simple.
