Those sentimental things...


As of recent, I have not felt the way that I should. I am looking forward to making notable changes in my life and in others lives as well. I took some time to reflect on some of the things I enjoy. Making this list was therapeutic, in and of itself. I am guilty of overlooking many of these things.There is so much good in the world. Here are some of the things I love and need to do. You should do them too. 


  1. Fall in love.
  2. Look outside at the mountains, trees, and flowers. Enjoy the scenery.
  3. Everybody loves to look attractive. Putting on that pretty dress and heels will have you feeling better in no time.
  4. Take a few deep breaths. You are likely to feel some sense of relief.
  5. Compliment yourself. Don’t look at what is “wrong with you.” Look at what you’re doing that is RIGHT!
  6. Set goals and complete them. A sense of achievement will make you feel worthwhile.
  7. Go outside, inhale the fresh air, feel the sun, rain, snow, or breeze that touches your skin.
  8. Criticize someone.
  9. Laugh so hard it hurts.
  10. Laugh at your problems. Everybody else does.
  11. Take a hot shower, shave, and get into clean sheets.
  12. Be with animals. If you don’t have one, go to The Humane Society and play with them as long as you like.
  13. Save someone’s life.
  14. Let them save yours.
  15. Be open with someone, and have a frank conversation.
  16. Allow yourself to be helped.
  17. Pay it forward. If you find yourself serving others, love will find its way to your soul.
  18. Think about your ‘problems.’ What can you do to fix them? Do it.
  19. Wear comfortable clothes, watch a movie, and relax.
  20. Be grateful.
  21. Be with friends. Surround yourself with people who share your values. Positive influences are the only influence.
  22. Whistle, sing, or hum your favorite song.
  23. Be with your family—family is of utmost importance. No matter how you may feel, your family DOES love you. You should love them too.
  24. Put makeup on and fix your hair. (Boys, you can feel free to do this one too if you wish!)
  25. Create an idea that nobody has ever created.
