10 Tips for a Peaceful Day

Posted on July 5, 2015 by Simple Changes

A few reminders for all of us:

When you wake up in the morning, thank the Universe for giving you the day ahead. Expect that your day will be wonderful.
Sit in silence before getting out of bed – even 5 to 10 minutes will make a difference. Quiet your mind and simply observe the sounds of your room without judgement.
Walk in nature, even if it’s simply in your neighborhood. Listen to the sounds of nature – the birds chirping, the wind in the trees.
Eat foods that grow from plants and trees; slowly eliminate manufactured food.
Drink plenty of water.
Smile and speak positively to everyone you meet.
Help someone in need.
Get in touch with a friend or loved one.
Forgive someone who hurt you. Make peace with your past so you can move on in peace.
Before you go to sleep, thank the Universe for all the blessings of the day; send love and blessings to everyone.

Namaste
