Life Lesson #1: Make sure to laugh every single day.
Laugh at yourself. Laugh at your lover. Laugh at your best friend's corny jokes. Laughter truly is the best medicine. I genuinely believe that this is what keeps us young. Not only does laughter make you feel good inside BUT it also helps keep your stomach muscles strong and tight. Ka-ching, double bonus!! :-) Laughter is contagious too. Some would claim that happy, giggly people are not respected or taken as serious as Conservative Carl but I agree to disagree.
Life Lesson #2: Believe in karma.
I 100% believe in karma. When you do good deeds, good things will come back to you. Take things as they come. We can't always change what life throws our way but we can change our own outlook and the way we handle life's challenges and crises. Have a bit of faith. Something good your way will come. And everything, EVERYTHING in life happens for a reason. It's what makes us stronger human beings in the end.
Life Lesson #3: Eat ice cream.
Just not the whole damn pint. Or whatever food it is that you ultimately like to indulge in whether it be pizza, cupcakes (my personal favorite), french fries, etc. Share it with your partner, cubemate, bestie or frenemy. Indulging in a little treat helps keep you happy. And it feels even better to share because someone else gets to partake in the indulgence with you. Something about sharing that special little treat is a great bonding experience. Try it. You'll be surprised how true this is! :-)
Life Lesson #4: Hold your head up high and show 'em who's boss!
And that would be you! Have you ever noticed how many people look your way when you walk confidently down the street with your head held high? So go ahead: pop in those earphones, crank up Cher's "If I Could Turn Back Time", and smile away. Go on wit your bad self!
Life Lesson #5: Make your bed daily.
Nothing feels as great as coming home from a long day of work/working out and falling into a freshly made bed. Ahh, bliss. And make sure to wash those sheets 1-2x a month! Fresh clean sheets makes the feeling THAT MUCH BETTER.
Life Lesson #6: Take time for yourself.
Whether it's a 20-minute power run; sipping an am coffee while reading the newspaper; writing in your blog, make sure you do something that is dedicated to YOU! It's a great feeling. We often forget how quickly time passes by. Don't fall victim to this. The biggest and only regret I think one can have is that of not taking advantage of the little things in life. So get up from your desk for 15-20 minutes, those documents will still be there when you get back. And you'll come back with a fresh head on your shoulders.
