Day 58 Assignment

Start developing your emotional self-sufficiency today…

1. Sit by yourself every day.
   • There are plenty of meditation and mindfulness apps you can download for free, give a few a try to see what works for you.
   • Practice mindfulness during all waking hours.
   • Consider how emotionally together you are and what you would like to change about how your emotions affect your life.
2. • The act of creation builds self-worth and esteem. It doesn’t need to be a work of art, it can be crafts, new dishes, or garden designs.
   • Make the space you spend time in the best it can be. Organize, tidy, and improve until the feng shui in your home makes you happy.
3. • New practical skills (like self-sufficiency, cooking, gardening, etc.).
   • About the world around you. Read a book, watch a documentary, take a class (online or in person), visit a museum, etc.
   • If you’re musical, take up an instrument.
4. Practice fixing your own problems.
   • Bored? Do something!
   • When you are upset, practice meditation or breathing exercises.
   • Stop blaming others; their actions can’t affect you unless you allow them to. Practice stoicism when faced with frustrating external circumstances.
5. Get physical exercise every day.
   • Releases endorphins and makes you happier.
   • Gardening chores or building projects are great exercise.
   • Take a walk, lift some weights, dance to your favorite song, take a bike ride, go for a swim, or find a new activity or class to partake in (martial arts, dance, yoga, step, aerobics, etc.).

Live happy; be free!
