The Top Check-list of Things You Can Do To Better Yourself

Here is a checklist of things to do with ideas and stuff on how to live a meaningful life – it’s a long one:

  • learn about whatever interests you
  • cold showers
  • pay attention to your body language
  • work out
  • minimize your daily use of electronic devices
  • meditation
  • spend time in nature
  • try to be helpful but take care not to be exploited
  • do not watch porn
  • limit your alcohol intake
  • pay attention to having a good posture
  • read
  • go to bed early and rise early
  • drink water
  • stop care about what people think of you
  • when you’re reluctant to do something, count 1… 2… 3… and it gets a lot easier overcome your fear
  • when a task takes one minute or less, do it immediately
  • try not to look at a computer screen at least one hour before you go to bed to improve your sleep
  • listen to music while doing tasks that don’t require your full attention to make them more fun
  • never visit sites that give you an unlimited amount of entertainment (like YouTube, subreddits about entertainment, meme sites, …). Seriously, quitting memes was almost as hard as quitting porn.
  • try to engage people in conversations
  • don’t lick your lips, especially when it’s cold or windy
  • try to talk to at least one stranger every day
  • look people in the eyes
  • never break eye contact with someone before they break it with you
  • watch movies/ series or read books in a foreign language
  • watch the news (without spending too much time on them)
  • greet people
  • smile
  • have positive thoughts
  • don’t act needy towards men, or women, whatever you’re attracted to… 
  • eat healthy and cook your own food
  • take some minutes every day to keep your home tidy
  • be proactive (= don’t let your life be formed by the circumstances but by your own actions)
  • never over-consume anything
  • talk slowly, loudly and clearly
  • every day, take the time to think about what you like about yourself
  • prepare for possible failures, but be optimistic
  • don’t complain about things
  • don’t have big secrets in your life (things you wouldn’t even tell your best friend or SO or whoever you trust a lot)
  • when you don’t do an activity that would be good for you, go into yourself and think about whether you have valid reasons to hold you back or only made up excuses
  • don’t lay down in your bed if it is unnecessary, it makes you lazy and depressed
  • have a big goal or purpose in your life you work for
