Seven Scintillating Scenarios for Shoring Up Your LSQ (Life Satisfaction Quotient)

Life Tip #2

Have you lately been thinking of a "life make-over", or envisioning a life-style which will enhance the excitement, purpose and true enjoyment into your life? What signposts should you consider when seriously pondering significant changes and transformations?

1. Enlarge your future- your past is just that-the PAST. Rather than dwelling on negative situations previously experienced, re-frame them with an eye toward what was learned and how these lessons can be instructive now and in the future.

2. Engage in lifelong learning-not only formal education, but on-line learning, reading, joining groups and clubs whose ideas and information is different than yours.

3. Exercise a zest for life-exuberance is its own reward and always engaging to those around you. Being physically fit and maintaining a healthy lifestyle will indubitably add to a positive outlook.

4. Refuse to accept the minimum- strive for excellence (NOT perfection,) improvement and vibrancy in all areas of life (especially those that are often challenging!).

5. Make
contributions beyond yourself-research does attest to greater life satisfaction when people are connected to being part of a community, volunteering, engaging in spiritual self exploration, etc.

6. Step outside your comfort zone- taking risks, thinking "outside the box", geared toward new goals, ambitions, and achievements.

7.
Up your FF (Fun Factor)-revel in a sense of unbridled joy using humor and playfulness whenever possible; create an atmosphere which celebrates the off-beat, wacky and ridiculous.

And remember, taking action is the catalyst for change!
