This article right here is the high existence roadmap to follow your bliss, increase your awareness, and master your existence for your entire lifetime.

 

1. Memorize Something Everyday

This will keep your brain sharp and your memory functioning at a high level. If you memorize quotes, you’ll soon have a huge library to best use at any moment.

2. Reduce Attachment to Possessions

Possessions end up owning you, and not the other way around Become a person with minimal needs, and you will be much more content. 

3. Develop Curiosity 

Become an explorer and view the world as your jungle. Observe each moment as a completely unique event. Get out of your comfort zone and experience as many different environments and sensations as possible.

4. Remember Names

Remember people’s names so they feel appreciated. To do this, say their names back to them when they introduce themselves and continue to se their name in conversations.

5. Git Fit!

It’s ridiculous to think that we have one body, one sole means of functioning, and people are too lazy to take care of themselves. Fit bodies lead to better health, confidence, and more success with romantic endeavors. I’d say those are 3 very good reasons to get in shape.

6. Focus Only on the Present

The past is unchangeable, so it is futile to reflect on it unless you are making sure you do not repeat mistakes. And the future is just a result of your actions today. Remember that the present is where true power and vitality reside. 

7. Live in this Special Moment

Don’t just focus on the present day or week, focus on the present MOMENT. Even 30 minutes ago is still the past. Live purely in the experience of this moment and you will find yourself able to let go of worry and anxiety. 

8. Smile More

Just remember that while happiness leads to smiles, smiles also leads to happiness.

9. Drink Water

Soda has absolutely ZERO nutritional goodness; it’s like pouring a bunch of sugar and syrup into your cup. Instead, fill it with lite-replenishing water.

10. Don’t Take Life so Seriously! 

Learn to laugh at your mistaken failures, and this whole “existence” thing will become a lot less difficult and stressful. 

11. Think Positive Thoughts

No matter what is happening, always keep a lite-affirming state of mind. Know on the deepest level that life is a gift and an opportunity. 

12. Knowledge is Power

Books are windows into many of the most brilliant and enlightened minds of history. Don’t miss the opportunity to nourish your soul with words of genius. 

13. Get in the Sun

The sun feels amazing, and your entire body will be coursing with warmth, lite, and Vitamin D.

14. Help Others

Helping people has been a ripple effect. You grow by giving and helping others. It can change you in ways you never expected. Helping is the most fulfilling thing you can do in this planet.

15. Set a Specific Time to Worry Each Day

Ponder all of your problems and anxieties during that time so that they will not distract you during work or moments of pleasure.

As enjoyable as sleep is, waking existence is much more fulfilling and efficient. Remember that fully adjusting to a new sleep cycle can take up to 21 days.

18. Forget About Insults Entirely

Voluntarily carrying around hateful words from others will only make your existence heavier. Just let it go.

Observing a different culture will expand your mind while making you further appreciate the life you already have. 

23. The Rubber Band Method

Place a rubber band around your wrist and snap it against your skin and time you find yourself stuck in a loop of anxious or destructive thoughts. This will remind you to take a breath and return to the present. 

24. Stay Calm

Anger clouds our judgment and causes us to do things we will regret. Learn to avoid knee-jerk reactions and to respond calmly to upsetting circumstances.

25. Limit Online Activities

The internet is an awesome tool, but some sites can suck you in a waste tons of time that could be better spent doing something productive, creative, or loving.

26. Develop the Ability to Forgive

Grudges only bring misery to those who hold them and prevent relationships from healing.

I'm Miss. Congeniality of Broward College North Campus, Events Coordinator of the Psychology Club at Broward College North Campus, new president of Her Campus Broward, I work for Student Services at Broward College North Campus, and I just like to get involved in many great activities that benefit my personal growth.

Winner of the Sammy's award for most charity work within the community, and now Vice President of Her Campus Broward. I hope to soon be working at Junior Achievement with the elementary and middle school children, in order to have a well rounded experience! The hope is to one day work with and teach children who have special needs such as myself! Biggest belief and philosophy of life is that, no matter what anyone says you can't accomplish in life, I am living proof that anything is possible! Having ADHD, high functioning Autism, and medical conditions such as Scoliosis, helps me to understand special needs children on a level that very few people can! It is this very knowledge that led me to choose Teaching as my chosen profession. Now at age 42, and more than 55% on the way to getting an Associate of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education, I hope to become an Assistant Teacher within the next year or so. We hope that this true life story will inspire others to never give up either, no matter what anybody says, or tells you, that you can't do, the only one who can truly hold you back is "YOU".
