How to Start Enjoying Life Again

I think there are some key aspects which can help people start to really enjoy life again, and make the most of the opportunities on this planet. You may feel good if you wear a beautiful dressand become the focus of the group. In this post I want to look at what I think those aspects are and how you can incorporate them into your life.

1. Become Aware of your Mortality

 It's no secret that one day we are all going to die. Some of you may think we will be reincarnated, some may think we will go to heaven and some of you think we are spiritual beings in human form, and that's fine. However, all of us know that our current form won't last forever.

Make the most of the opportunity you have; life is completely what you make of it and is nothing more than an external reflection of your internal thoughts. If you start looking for the good in the world instead of focusing on the bad, I promise you will find it.

2. Make Notes of the Things that Matter to You

I used to be the kind of person that would read a blog post which asked you to do something, and kindly skip over the 'taking action' section. More recently, I actually took the time to write out a list of things I'm grateful for; some of the obvious items came up:

    * My family and friends

    * My health

    * Being able to eat properly every day

    * Having a roof over my head

    * Having people that care for me

And while these items are obvious, we take them for granted but miss them so much for example when they deteriorate (health) or disappear (wealth). Simply doing this will allow you to see all the great things in your life instead of all the negative aspects in your current situation which may be getting you down.

3. Realize Every Problem Can Be Accepted or Dealt With

"But I don't want to accept the things I cannot change" is a response I received from a lot of people when first mentioning this idea. "OK, so you are going to get angry, cry and stress yourself out about something that...you can't do anything about?" - It just doesn't make any sense. If you can change something you don't like then by all means work towards doing that, but otherwise accept what is and focus on other things that matter to you.

4. Set Yourself a Long Term Goal You Can Be Passionate About

Maybe you want to lose weight; maybe you want to learn a new language or even learn to play an instrument. Pick a long-term goal that you can give some time regularly, something that really matters to you. The most important aspect to making this work in your favor is by opening your life up to being able to work on the things you enjoy. After-all, this is a goal you WANT to achieve and it is something you really CARE about.
