Had a fab read of this list of 100 ways to slightly improve your life without really trying from The Guardian Newspaper this morning (I see this as a list of good little habits to have to make change happen incrementally, without becoming overwhelmed) - and I just have to share it with you all; it’s brilliant!

100 ways to slightly improve your life without really trying | Life and style | The Guardian (ampproject.org)

First, I ticked off the good habits I’ve already established (there were quite a few, so that was a nice little feel good boost!) - and then I picked out a couple that I’ve never thought about or that I’ve been flirting with or dismissed… and I’m going to have a go at them this month!

My personal favourites are:

#9 the bird feeder - which we did back in October, and as a family we’ve enjoyed it so much!

#74 respect your youngers - which I totally get… and I think could transform the world if more people did!

#98 make a friend from a different generation - some of my best relationships are cross-generational; we all have so much to learn from each other… and I honestly think this is a practice that has a brilliant side effect of growing inclusion and knowledge sharing

And the ones I’m going to do more of are:

#8 send voice notes instead of texts: I do with with the boys to others a lot, and sometimes with my sister… but I get it and like the idea of the personalisation - so I’m in for a try more broadly!

#36 stretch: I half heartedly do this in a morning… but I’m going to give it a conscious effort both morning and night, to see if it helps.

#97 listen to the albums you loved as a teenager - haven’t done this for ages, but I’m looking forward to it already!

Have a look through and see if any of these ideas resonate with you… and if they do, commit to have a go at them!

Oh - and please do share back your thoughts and results if you try any of these out! xx
