The thing I wish for everyday is that more people would take their life in their hands and run with it. Life is so short that any day we are not striving to be better or to enjoy it more is a day wasted. Living longer is a goal we should all run towards while making the most of the time we do have on this planet.
7 Minimalist Actions to Live Longer
- Be Care Free – Making sure you have food on the table is important. Stressing over a million things a day should be addressed. Ask yourself each time you feel stressed if what you are being stressed over is that important.
- Walk Further, Drive Less – Going Car-Free is an awesome way to improve your health and reduce stress. Try taking walks to the places within a mile (i.e. the grocery store, gym).
- Simply Disconnect – Take everything that is connected to the outside world away from your life for 30 minutes minimum a day. Here are 7 Simple Ways to Disconnect from Everett Bogue.
- Eat Healthier – There is no reason to take years off your life by ingesting crap. Try a vegan diet to improve your mood and add years to your life. I am going to test this soon.
- Just Relax – There are a million and one things that always need to be done. How about doing nothing for 5 minutes and just relax? A stress free life is a longer one.
- Write – Put that pen to paper daily and get some words out. You will start to relieve stress and tension as you express yourself. It takes 10 minutes daily, but adds years to your mental capacity.
- Be Active – Run around. Be a kid. Climb a mountain. Run a race. Do something outside daily to gain health benefits and enjoy the benefits of a beautiful landscape.
These 7 tips are not confusing or difficult or too challenging. They are just actions we tend to overlook daily. Apply them to your life and make this life the best. It is your only one.
