The Top 10 Ways to Be Your Very Best - part 2
6. Get organized.
If you’ve gotten rid of stuff you don’t need, this step will be much easier. You’ll gain a lot of time if you’re not constantly searching for things. Create an organizational scheme that works for you. Hire a professional organizer if you’re not sure how.
7. Take care of your needs.
There are basic needs we all have - food, water, clothing, and shelter. And there are the other needs that are more individual - respect, security, prestige. Make sure all of your needs are met.
8. Eliminate things you are putting up with.
Start by making a list of 25 things that you’re tolerating - a dirty car, a squeaky door, a picture that won’t hang straight. Then pick the 10 easiest ones to take care of and fix them now. Believe it or not, these tolerations are bothering you more than you know. Notice what happens and how you feel when you take care of the first ten. Keep working on your list.
9. Celebrate your successes.
This is important! Celibrate your successes all the time. Find great ways to appreciate yourself for everything you do. Give yourself a pat on the back or buy yourself a present.
10. Laugh often.
I hope that laughing made it on your list of 10 delightful habits but just in case it didn’t, I included it here. Laughing makes us feel good, brings health benefits, and makes the world look brighter. Create a laugh list - a list of things that make you laugh - and use it when you need a laugh.
