We all love food, we devour countless cooking shows, culinary magazines and foodie blogs. So how could we possibly be throwing nearly 50% of it in the trash?

be yourselves # m a k e y o u r s e l v e s h a p p y
YOU DESERVE TO F E E L H A P P Y ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people that have come
When we think about what it would take to get excited about life, we sometimes think just as if telling ourselves that we good enough or have the skills or resources to feel alive. In reality, being is all we ever need to be. Coming alive require impressive accomplishments or colossal life changes. Getting excited about your life require thrilling adventure, fame, or wealth, either. We can all get excited by our lives by making a few small adjustments to our attitudes and our habits. Things like: Counteract negativity with positivity - Negativity may creep in your life and soon become automatic and pervasive. Slowly it robs us of our excitement for living. Erase 2-3 negative labels or phrases from your vocabulary for 1 month. Go away from people with negative attitudes and thoughts. Look for the lesson (which is the good part) that difficult situations may teach you. Think of them as the opportunity to practice patience and perseverance, and remind yourself of what is going well outside of the situation. Practice kindness - Practice acts of kindness every day. Try volunteering or donating to a charity. Step in and help someone in need. Even small gestures like holding open a door can carry forward into the rest of your day. Dedicate time to learning and meaning - Every time you can work toward learning something new and cultivating your talents. Try reading a chapter a day, learning a word a day, practicing your math skills, or choosing a topic that you would simply like to learn more about.

Make and relive memories - Time passes expecially when we are living a more enlivened life so as you can do something nostalgic. Try to create a time capsule, and mark a date on your calendar to reveal the contents. Take 1-3 pictures a day of something you find inspiring, motivating, funny, or notable. Start a new tradition with friends and family. Celebrate - Make your celebrations fun, meaningful, and frequent. Celebrate anniversaries, even the small ones. Focus on the meaning to you, and let go of the nonessential. Celebrate the silly holidays like CheesCake Day or Fitness Month. Make it as big or little a celebration as you like. Explore - How often are we living right next door to something amazing only to admit that we have never really paid attention? Be a tourist in your own home town. Allow yourself to be excited about the things in your city that are easily taken for granted in daily life. Face your fears - Our fears hold us back. Break out of this confined space by doing something every day that helps you conquer a fear. You need to overcome the fear all at once. In fact, taking small steps every day is much more sustainable. Make time - Being busy is not the same as feeling alive. So... Reduce your daily screen and media time by 30 minutes. Choose 2-3 times per day for laughing, inspiration, and reflection.
Investing time in something you care about is really an investment in yourself. Meaningful activities bring passion and richness to our lives and connect us to similar others.
