Dining and cooking

• Make a list of your fav products and put at least one of them on your daily menu.
• Set the table with the items you love (napkins, candles, cute cups..Well, you got it!).
• Eat slowly, do not be distracted by the phone, TV and other annoying devices.
• If possible, share your meal with a person you really like.
• When eating, pay attention to color, smell, texture and taste.
• Listen to the feeling of hunger and satiety, find a balance.
• After eating, reflect on your feelings (or write them down): how the food affected your mood and self-awareness.
• Discuss your observations with loved ones (especially those with whom you shared a meal).

Home

• Declutter regularly. Getting rid of the things you don't need really makes a big difference!
• Tidy up at least once in two weeks to keep things fresh and clean.
• Incorporate a monthly home cleansing ritual into your routine.
  
• Buy flowers (or pick some in your garden) weekly.
• Light some candles in the evening.
• Burn incense sticks (alternatively, use essential oils) to create the signature aroma of the house.
• If possible, maximize natural light in your home. Open curtains and blinds during the day to let the sunlight in, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Style and beauty

• Try to stick to a slow fashion concept and see how it changes your life (and saves your budget, too)!
• When buying new clothes or shoes, try to choose quality over quantity.
• Pick several 'uniform' sets of clothes and shoes that you adore. Rotate them daily to lift your mood instantly.
• Don't skip your skincare routine.
• Experiment with your daily makeup and hairstyle. Pick one or two that suit you most and are the easiest for you to recreate daily.

Self-care & personal development

• Set up a morning routine that you enjoy.
• Make sure you actually enjoy your free time.
• Read that book you've been thinking about for ages. And that other one, too!
• Take pictures every time you see something beautiful.
• Spend at least an hour a day engaging in something that excites you. This could be anything from photography, painting, gardening, or even pinning something nice on Pinterest.
• Spend some time in nature. When was your last time walking barefoot?
• Spend some time alone.
• Get a gym membership or do a workout session at home. Move your body daily.
• Write down your thoughts daily. Don't forget to mention the things you're grateful for.

Social life

• Compliment someone. Even if it's a complete stranger.
• Give yourself a compliment. Because you deserve it!
• Look people in the eyes.
• Listen to people, like really listen, not just hear them talking.
• Smile 🙂
• Opt for a charity or donation event. Remember, giving is receiving.
