The Pursuit of Contentment

Searching for contentment and well- being throughout you life. This journey will require necessary legwork in order to achieve your goal. Your perspective in your life must be changed, without modifying your life and making mammoth changes . Expecting nothing, and leaving greed aside will provide great tools for accessing the state of contentment. Remember to genuinely believe in favourable concepts during your daily happenings.

Create a list of 25 items that you would like to do throughout the year .
At  beginning of day prepare a list of two things from that list that you would like to experience or accomplish on that day.

At the end of each day write down three occurrences or thoughts that you are grateful for during your day. Learn to appreciate the "value of doing nothing" on a daily basis  during a ten minute hiatus.
This will make space for more productive time in your life.
Try to have a day each week or at once a month where you have no essential duties, still permitting family  time and time for friends and yourself.

The brain is able to do many wonderful things....

If your brain has adequate nutrients & your body has plenty of exercise & some necessary mental
stimulation, along with healthy socialization, then your brain and body will be in balance.
The neurons will be content and new connections will continue to be formed. Remember
that your brain regulates every single function in the body such as breathing to circulation and many more.....
