Smile More
Smiles are contagious. They are low pressure fun. They can be friendly without being sexual.
Smiles cheer people up and can lift a persons mood.
Smiles also feel great on our own face. Practice smiling more. Use those facial muscles. Build their muscle memory. Be grateful and smile.
More Hugs
People calm down with hugs. They often feel more loved too.
Hugs are free to give to people too.
So maybe make it part of your 2026 plan to give out more hugs than last year.
Be Willing To Work
Everyone wants an easy route to success. Sit on the beach, drink Mai-Tai’s and let the wins pile up.
That would be great!
It’s not really realistic though. I suppose a few people could organise their situation to have this happen. Though I doubt it would work for most people.
Recall music or sports managers or agents that have ripped off people. You can outsource work, but you had better be very tightly managing the outsource activity. Trust but verify – daily! At worst you could do it weekly. But do not leave it longer than that.
Plan. Begin. Pivot. Continue.
This is how most of life goes.
You have a wish, desire or goal. You develop a little or big plan to achieve that goal. Then you start out all excited trying to achieve your goal.
Things then happen and you often will find out you need to pivot at that point.
From there it may all be fine so you can continue. However, if it is not all fine, you may need to pivot again.
Then repeat this process for everything you do in life. It’s that simple.
Look Out Below!
You never know what you’ll find below!!
Go Places
Going places gets your body moving and mind working. These two concepts help you fight off all kinds of disease and unhelpful conditions.
It’s also fun (usually). You get to see new sights, try new activities, and experience new ways.
Fun Times!
Make sure to have plenty!
Ask Questions
This is far more effective than mind reading alone!
Stretch Yourself
Find small ways to be a better person. Work on these a little every day. Keep going.
Reminisce
This will make you feel good. You’ll feel younger, though maybe a little nostalgic too.
Do this on your own, with a friend or a group of old friends. You’ll be glad you did.
