Ten Things You Should Do Every Day

This isn’t meant to be a checklist that you power through item by item, but rather something you should look back on at the end of a day to see if it was a day where you truly lived, and if there are lots of items missing, maybe you’re not really living.

1. Laugh out loud spontaneously because something tickles your fancy.

2. Cry out of sadness.

3. Shed a tear because of something you’re really joyful about.

4. Learn something new and take pleasure in it.

5. Take a break from worrying about what happened before and what will happen after and simply be present.

6. Quiet your soul before God and take in His presence in and around you.

7. Help someone freely, without attaching any strings.

8. Think about what you want your life to be about and whether today was consistent with that.

9. Feel honest remorse over some mistake you made, and do something to make it right.

10. Get better at something you’re not good at, or use some talent that you already have.
