TIPS TO MAKE LIFE WORTH LIVING

by: Seph the Writer

Finding reasons to enjoy life? Like wall clocks, we won’t tick if there is no battery to drive us. There are times where we feel that our lives are worthless. If you are having difficulty in finding means to enjoy life, we provided some tips to boost your morale.

Go out and do something

Keep the boredom away by putting on an active lifestyle. Immerse yourself on activities that make you productive. You can try a new sport or join an organization. Avoid making yourself idle. Bear in mind that an idle mind and body makes you feel useless. In finding activities, prioritize those that utilize physical skills rather than sedentary ones. The more senses the activity involves, the better. When all the parts of your body are at work, you will forget the feeling of being worthless.

Divulge yourself in a positive light

Thinking positive thoughts really brightens the day. When you think, focus on positive feelings like happiness, joy, and laughter. Avoid basking in negative thoughts like jealousy, anger, and sadness. Think that in every situation, there is always a good result: a good event brings out good memories while a bad event creates good life lessons.

Socialize and make bonds

Life is indeed worthless if you spend it alone. Search for people with the same interests as yours. Join a Mountain Climbing Society if you like nature. You will be amazed how much meaning in life your small talks produce. From there, choose people that you can call the closest and cherish the bonds that you make. If you are a bit shy, joining an online social site can be a good start. However, remember that a personal relationship is Nth times better than a virtual one.

Give yourself a deadline

Long-term planning is rewarding. Buy yourself a planner and jot down things that you would like yourself to accomplish at the end of the year. Set deadlines and follow it strictly. If you stick to your deadlines, nothing will beat the feeling of fulfillment.

Document your journey

Track your life. Write about it on a journal or a blog. Documenting your life allows release of the day’s tension. You transfer your emotions to your journal and let it settle for a while. When you read it after the emotions are stabilized, you may be amazed at how you react on certain situations. This way, you know where you can improve and sense your real value.

Be content and ambitious

In fancy terms, this is enabling yourself to fly to the farthest skies while keeping one foot on the ground. Deal with what you have right now and revolve your life around it. Do not covet on the things that you do not have at present. Yearn for new things but always take note of the reality. If it is not yet feasible, don’t hurt yourself by dreaming for the impossible. Do not compare what you have with what others have. Learn to be calm in one side, always ready to seize when an opportunity appears.

Reward yourself

Reflect on yourself sometimes and reward life by giving it a break. You do not need to achieve something monumental just to praise yourself. The aim here is to appreciate your value. Reward yourself even in “small” achievements like you said hi to the person you hate. Rewards can be as simple as patting yourself in the back.

Get a partner

Life has more colors and meaning if you have someone to share it with. Choose a person that you are very sure you can spend your eternity with. Love can indeed add meaning to life and act as battery to our ticking clocks too.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT WOMEN'S GARMENTS FOR YOU

by: Seph the Writer

Gone were the days when clothes are mere protection for the body from the environment.In today’s modern times, clothes signify one’s personality and fashion sense. As a woman, we all know you have a big weakness for clothes. As long as you have the extra money, we say you should divulge yourself in this rewarding vice. We bring you tips to ensure you get maximum value from the woman's garments you buy.

Especially if you are petite, wear solid colors. Solid colors make you look taller and attractive. You also look more elegant and sophisticated when you wear solid colors. Women’s garments with just one color are pleasing to the eye compared to printed ones. If you are invited to a gathering and are not sure what type of event it will be or what type of people you will face, a dress with solid colors is a perfect choice.

Now if you really need to wear that printed dress, choose patterns that complement your body type, skin, and hairstyle. For example, if you have big bust, wearing a blouse with curvy patterns on the chest is a bad choice. Go for abstract patterns. A whole dress with an Eiffel Tower background on it is a comical choice but a poor selection. Consider the lines in the clothes. Women’s garments with vertical lines make the wearer taller. Horizontal lines, on the other hand, make the wearer wider. If you already are a plump person, avoid dress with horizontal lines even if you see your favorite actress wearing one on TV.

Purchase more clothes with classic styles. Why? You wouldn’t want to look back at your pictures in the future and laugh at the clothes you are wearing. Go for the timeless look. Keep an eye on clothes that never go out of style. They will look good on you, and if you are fond of it, you can recycle the dress 5 years later without someone even noticing it.

Add personal styles to your clothes with the use of ladies’ accessories. Women’s garments are boring when worn by themselves but they transform into exciting pieces with jazz of accessories. Belts, shoes, scarves, jewelries, eyewear, and hats add personal touch to your dress.

You don’t need to spend lots of cash just to look good. Good taste and proper budgeting are the keys for you to choose clothes that suit you.
