De-stress Now: 25 Little Things to Savor in Life
Corporate life can take its toll on us in the long run. We tend to become over-stressed, depressed or exceptionally busy, with no time for friends and loved ones. In the chaos of our daily busyness, we can miss out on a lot of things, especially the little somethings of life.
Life always has surprises. It has unresolved mysteries. Mysteries that cannot be solved howsoever hard you think. Everything happens for a reason. And some reasons go beyond our knowledge. Life is very uncertain. No one knows what is going to happen tomorrow. What is certain is the “present” and it is very precious. Most of the time it is always spent worrying about the future. There are simple things that we can do every day to make the world a better place to live and also make our lives livelier. Here are some 25 simple things for starters. Read on:
1.Watch Sunrise at least once a week
2.Listen to your favorite song in the morning

Give something to each person you meet: joy, courage, assurance, or hope. Let us always give something.

After all, it is your life and you just have one shot at it!
