When you think about it, our lives are pretty short.

Making the most of it is insanely important because at the end of the day, we want to live a life that is well done. Making the most out of each day is pretty hard, however, because it requires a lot of effort. So many of us go throughout our day-to-day life doing what we need to do. Going to school, going to work, doing the chores, meal prepping, etc. While these things are important, these are also the things that you’ll remember when you are old and grey. To start making memories that will actually make you feel like you lived a great life, follow these ways to live life to the fullest:

Push aside the negativity

Say “no” to negativity and focus on happiness, love, and healthy relationships. We’re attracted to negativity because it entertains us, and it does so by giving us the opportunity to delight in misfortune: a thing no one would bother doing if they were happy. It’s not that happy people walk around in bubbles of ignorance; they just know what a mess of self-loathing is involved with all that outwardly projected hate and they avoid it by not participating: which makes them seem uninteresting. All this does is drag us down and makes us unhappy. Let’s find a way to spread positive and happy vibes, in order to make ourselves and the rest of the world a happier place!

Don’t let anyone hold you back

I cannot stress this enough - do not let anyone hold you back from doing what you want to do. Do not let their fears get in the way of your success when it comes to a happy life. If you want to jump off a cliff in the Caribbean, do it. Don’t let someone tell you that there could be a shark waiting for you. If you want to skydive, do it. A lot of the time, people hold you back because they are jealous. With social media being in the front of our lives, people constantly play ‘keeping up with the jones’’ in everyday life now. Ignore those telling you no, or giving you horror stories and do what you want to do, when you want to do it.

Ask for help when you need it

Asking for help is hard for just about anyone, but sometimes, it is a must when it comes to living life to the fullest. If we try to do it all on our own, we can be burdened down with stress and anxiety. This is exactly why asking for help, when you need it, is a great thing! A great example of this is moving. If you are moving to a new state, you might feel the need to do it all on your own, so that you do not burden anyone else. But, if you attempt to move yourself with no help, you have the potential of being incredibly stressed out, anxious, maybe even depressed, and physically moving yourself brings on the risk of injury, as well. Instead of tackling it yourself, you do not have to burden your friends and family (although I’m sure they would be more than happy to help!) because there are companies out there that do this for a living. When you work with a company such as New Jersey Transport Inc. Moving Company, you are putting money back into the local economy and you are putting food on the table for family-run businesses, which is so important. New Jersey Transport inc. Moving Company can help with New Jersey long distance moving, local moving, packing & crating, auto transport, and much more. They pride themselves on giving all of their customers the best moving experience in the industry. “New Jersey Transport has a well known reputation for being an honest and reliable moving company throughout the north east. Our company values include honesty, transparency, timeliness, and reliability among other values that provide a standard of professionalism and ethics,” they say. They focus on bringing their customers honesty, transparency, quality, and secure packing and moving services. Your items are always treated with the utmost care and respect and all furniture is properly padded, wrapped, and secured. Using New Jersey Transport Inc. Moving Company is a way that you can do good by supporting the local economy, while also getting the help you need.

Say ‘yes” more often

There are so many amazing opportunities for you out there and the only way you will get to experience them is by saying yes. A lot of the time, saying yes will get you out of your comfort zone and that is a good thing, in my opinion. Fear is a valuable thing. It keeps people safe and encourages caution when caution is due. But it's also a limiting thing: Not everything you're afraid of deserves fear or caution. And sometimes, moments of bravery are what are needed to make your life better. Saying yes opens more doors for you, creates a more fulfilling and colorful world for you to live in, and it also promotes positivity in your life and others lives around you.

Do what you love

When it comes down to it, the only way you will live life to the fullest is by doing what you love. That is what it all stems to. Gone are the days when you have to sit at a desk for 10 hours straight, in order to pay your bills. While I believe technology can put stresses in our lives, I also think there is a really huge benefit to using it on a daily basis. There are so many ways to work remotely now and I believe that everyone should take advantage of it. Businesses do better when their employees are happy and employees are happiest when they have freedom to do what they want and need in life. 

Put down your phone

Put that phone down and focus on the moment that is in front of you. Being a blogger, this is very hard, but when I do it successfully, I have found that I am less stressed, create better memories, and I have enjoyed my day more than when I constantly video my day. By having our noses in our phone (looking at other peoples days), it is limiting how great our day can be and we are not forming the connections with our family and friends like we used to. Put the phone down and spend much deserved time with your people.
