Five Simple Things to Make Your Life Better - Week One

By
Real Estate Agent with Sabinske & Associates, Inc. (Albertville, St. Michael)

Since I haven't been posting much lately, I thought I would make myself write at least one post a week.

So I decided to start a series of ideas that I find when I am browsing the net.  Here are the first five that I liked.....hope you do, too.

 

 

Better to give one penny a day for a hundred days than to give a dollar once in a hundred days. Why? Because every time your hand does an action of giving, it becomes more and more a giving hand.

 

If you pay cash for your groceries, you will spend less.  And, that, my friend is a very simple way to make life worthy  of living your way.  Also, never spend more in a day than your budget allows….say it’s $10.00.  Do you spend that on a latte and a bagel?  If you do, you are wasting money…..those things only last a few minutes’ worth of pleasure.  That $10.00 can go toward a credit card debt so you can buy a house, or a vacation or a car.  Think about what $10 a day can buy in real terms, not a coffee and a treat!

 

Happier people tend to have salmon two servings per week or fish oil with DHA of at least 100 mg per day.

 

Only watch television as a reward,.  People who watch a lot tend to feel inadequate because of all the commercials for thing you don’t have, but the advertisers make you want.

 

 

Heading out to the soup kitchen or volunteering at a local school does more than benefit others. Volunteer work actually increases happiness more than paid employment.

Suzanne,

 Bob and I w ent to Chicago and Cincinatti and we so saw so many homeless people there were so many fakes in Chicago and I can tell you how I know, in Cincincatti we gave out to many as we could tell they were truly in need. I said a prayer for them.
