Life is Good: How to Enjoy the Moment and Make the most of Every Day
Do you ever feel like things just aren’t going your way? Do you find yourself taking things one day at a time, waiting for tomorrow to bring brand new opportunities rather than planning for the future? Or maybe you’re like me and you think life is good. Everything’s going great for me. I have a great job. Great friends. Amazing family. A good relationship is. perfect home. And that’s all fine and dandy, but what about the people around me? Do they understand how lucky they are to have someone like me as a friend or Neighbour or daughter or sister or wife or mother? Or do they see me only as another person who needs to be improved? Is there something I can do to make them happy again? It can get pretty lonely at times, don’t you think? Especially when everyone else is having such a wonderful time in life. So many people are caught up in their world and miss out on so many great experiences because they’re too preoccupied with their problems to enjoy the moment. Life’s good: How To Enjoy The Moment & Make The Most Of Every Day by Dr. Esther Bauer MD, is an inspiring guide that makes you smile no matter how difficult life may seem.
What is Life’s Good?
As humans, we crave significance — even if it’s denial or counterfeit convenience. We crave to feel important, to know that someone thinks we’re Important, and to receive recognition for our efforts. We crave acceptance, and the reassurance that we’re not a mistake — that we do belong here. In short, we crave love. But what happens when we have it all, and then some? When do we have everything we want? When life is “good”? The answer, of course, is that life is nothing. It’s just the feeling that comes after we’ve painted the “good” picture.
How to enjoy life today
How can we make the most of today? We can start by deciding what we’re going to do first. Are you going to try to make the most of today, or are you going to put the “Tid” back in “Tido-tadi”? What are you going to do for the rest of the day? Are you going to try to savor every moment of today, or are you going to try to forget about today and move on to the next day?
Let go of the negative thoughts
As humans, we all tend to overgeneralize. We think negatively about others and ourselves, even in a kind-hearted way, because we don’t like to see ourselves as being at fault. We like to think that we’re a perfect “Tid” person, with no struggling or wrongdoing. But the truth is that we are all human. We all make mistakes, we all fall short, and we all make mistakes when we’re at our best. What we have to do is let go of these negative thoughts and feelings and replace them with thoughts and feelings that are more optimistic and see life as a “good” time, not a “bad” time. That way, we’ll be able to truly enjoy life and make the most of each day.
Find a mentor or a life coach
I know it’s a big ask, but I implore you to find a mentor or a life coach. One-on-one mentorship or life coaching can be incredibly valuable, especially when you’re in your 20s and 30s. There are plenty of online resources and forums where you can find others who are in your situation, and who are looking to share their experiences and knowledge. A mentor or life coach can be a lifesaver. They can help you navigate through the “good” times and “bad” times of life, and show you how to look at life from a more positive perspective. When you find a mentor or life coach, you’ll also network with other young people who are going through the same thing. You’ll share your experiences, and you’ll receive honest and helpful feedback.
Take care of your health
How many of us take good care of our health? Are you taking care of yourself by getting enough exercise, eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, getting enough Vitamin C, managing stress, and taking adequate vitamin B-12 and D-3, and other minerals and vitamins? If not, you’re putting yourself at risk. You may not even know it, but your body is already fighting a losing battle. Your immune system is struggling. Your brain is not receiving the attention it needs. You may be putting yourself at risk of depression, anxiety, and increased risk of certain diseases, kidney disease, bone loss, muscle and nerve damage, and strokes. Mental health is another area in that we need to take care of ourselves. We can’t be a “perfect” person all the time, we all make mistakes, and life is not a fair fight for everyone. There are ways to help yourself, such as: Becoming more involved in activities that keep you healthy and happy. Take care of your health. Keeping a food journal. Learning ways to cope when you’re feeling under stress. Getting emotional support.
Plan for tomorrow
What’s that thing you always tell yourself about tomorrow that you don’t want to say today? Well, make it today. “Tomorrow” has the potential to be a great or a terrible day, and we don’t want to spend our tomorrow in struggle or struggle with ourselves. What are you going to do for your “tomorrow self”? Are you going to take care of yourself today? Are you going to try to enjoy today and tomorrow as if they were your own? You’re not just having a good day today. You’re having a great day. You’re having a life-changing day. You’re having a day that changes your perspective on life. Make the most of today, and tomorrow.
Conclusion
“Your tomorrow should not be determined by what happened today, but by what you do tomorrow.” – Abraham Lincoln It’s difficult to be happy when you don’t know what tomorrow will bring. You can be certain that things will be okay, but you can’t be certain when something will happen. When we’re too busy worrying about tomorrow, we miss out on today. Don’t miss out on life’s good moments. Don’t put off doing things that you know you need to do, because you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.
