1. ENJOY LIFE MORE
MATHEW T A

2. 1. ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION
• What is the one thing I can start
doing or stop doing that would have the
biggest impact on my life?
• Nothing in your life will change until you start
doing something differently.
• Progress, not perfection!

3. 2. GET CLEAR ON WHAT YOU WANT
• Try writing down your ‘ideal day.’ Be
very specific. What time do you wake
up? How do you spend your morning?
What do you eat? Who do you see?
Where do you go?

4. 3. MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF
• We often spend so much of our lives
taking care of others. And we have
an underlying feeling of guilt for
taking time for ourselves.

5. 4. MAKE TIME TO RELAX
• Somewhere along the way, being ‘busy’
became trendy. We go around bragging about
how busy our lives are, as if chaos were a
badge of honor.
• We all have busy times of the year, or seasons
of life. But beware of keeping busy just for the
sake of saying you are.

6. 5. AVOID THE NEWS
• Unless you’re a superhuman who isn’t
affected by the dismal daily news, I would
avoid watching it if you’re finding it difficult to
enjoy life right now.
• Watching it leads to fear and anger, and
hinders your ability to think for yourself. Plus,
99% of the time, the stories don’t really affect
your life.

7. 6. EXPLORE NEW PLACES
• Whether it be a new park, new restaurant, or
new vacation destination, exploring
someplace new will improve your quality of
life for a variety of reasons.
• Our brains don’t tend to remember the
experience of doing the same things over and
over. You’re far more likely to remember a
new experience.
Which shirt sleeve did you wear first this morning?

8. 7. ADOPT AN ATTITUDE OF
GRATITUDE
• You will be rewarded tenfold every time you
express gratitude. Be thankful for both the
positive and annoying things that happen to
you. We learn from all of it.
• Remember that you reap what you sow.
Sow the wind, you’ll reap the whirlwind.

9. 8. FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU ENJOY
• Just make a conscious effort to
incorporate things you enjoy
into your daily life.

10. 9. BE SOCIAL
• All human beings really are social
creatures, and we absolutely need
to engage socially. Try to choose
people who lift you up. If you feel
unhappy after hanging out with
someone, that’s not who you want
to spend your precious free time
with.

11. 10. TAKE CARE OF YOUR SPACE
• A cluttered, messy home is not going to help
you enjoy life more.
• Just put things away when you’re done with
them.

12. 11. MOVE YOUR BODY
• All the sitting we do is actually killing us.
• Exercise releases endorphins, lessens anxiety,
and has pain-relieving qualities.
• Spinning, boxing, zoomba, dancing

13. 11. BE CURIOUS
• If there’s something you want to learn or
know how to do, start researching it. Ask
someone who does it, research it online, take
a class, or read books on the subject.

14. 12. STOP COMPARING YOURSELF
• Comparison is the thief of joy.
• We all have different strengths and
weaknesses. But we’re all important. We’re all
here for a reason.
• If you look for ways to get more out of life,
you’ll find them.
