3 Small Changes to Improve Your Life Right Now

Marco

I usually get up at 7:00 AM but I’ve recently started setting my alarm for 6:30 AM. With the extra half hour, I have a little free time to do something for myself: read, go jogging, or simply plan my day. I’ve noticed that the extra thirty minutes in the morning has really helped me to feel a lot less rushed in the morning.

Eunjoo

I found myself doing the same thing every day: wake up, coffee, go to work, come home. Repeat. I’d usually even eat at the same places. I’ve recently decided to do something new every week. Some of the things cost money like snowboarding or going to a new restaurant, but other things are free like going for a walk in a new place or watching how-to videos online. This week I learned how to cook pasta perfectly.

Kasem

Like most people, I’m always so busy. I felt like I didn’t have any time for myself. I like to make my friends and family happy, but I was doing too much. I’ve started to practice saying “no” which isn’t as easy as it sounds. Of course, I wish I could go to everyone’s birthday parties and sports games, but if I want to feel less exhausted, I have to say “no” more often. Now I use the extra time in the kitchen doing what I love most: trying new recipes!
