The Cure for What Ails You: How to Beat the Misery of Discontentment : zen habits

Affirmative action, even if it is little, is a great start.

1. Even a little exercise every day, a walk or stretching exercises, can help us feel awesome.
2. Decluttering of even a small corner of your room or a tabletop can make you feel great.
3. Waking up early and meditating is a great way to get better mentally.

We are not satisfied with life because mindless consumerism and transaction-based relationships do not provide us with meaning. We can change that by:

1. Spending time with our family and friends, listening to what they say.
2. Volunteer for anything that is your liking, as giving time, energy or resources is a worthwhile effort.
3. Create something by writing, drawing, playing music, building something or designing.
4. Make others happy by helping out, or make someone’s day by buying them gifts.
