Simple strategies

So, if you have read any of my posts you realize that I really am trying to learn as much about myself in order to create a fulfilling life for myself. Much of it is abstract and emotional, although for me I have experienced those abstractions and they are becoming concrete beliefs. However, I know there are simple things I can do to help keep me in a positive place. Here is a very brief list:

• Clean my house and organize my closet. Keep rooms neat and clean; vacuum and mop and have fresh towels.
• Take the dogs for a walk.
• Exercise. Mountain biking, spinning, walking or weight lifting.
• Initiate breakfast or lunch with friends.
• Call friends or family on my drive home from work.
• Volunteer.
• Turn off the internet at work and get to business.
• Write, journal and blog.
• Eat healthy foods.
• Don't weigh myself!
• Spend time with Beth (snuggling helps!).
• Email Beth from work to just say hello.
• Pay attention and focus on the moment!

These things help me to feel internally balanced. And yes, I am okay with needing these outside stimuli to feel okay inside =)
