1. Always fold your laundry. I have an iron clad rule that when I dump the clean laundry on the bed, I am not allowed to throw it on the floor, even if I’m utterly exhausted and want to go to bed *right now*. It really only takes less than 5 minutes to fold and put away.

2. I feel better if I move every day. It takes longer to avoid the exercise than it does to actually do it. It’s still pretty hard to actually do it.

3. Only buy the veggies you truly want to eat. The rest inevitably go into the garbage at the end of the month, regardless of your good intentions. Stop wasting just because you’re trying to talk yourself into something.

4. I have a rhythm, just like everything else in this world. Trying to pretend otherwise is an exercise in frustration.

5. Loneliness is not fatal. Welcome the yearnings, even if they are painful. That way wisdom lays.

6. Wear anything you want and always add jewelry. Necklaces and bracelets take things from dumpy to urban chic.

7. Drink water, even if you don’t feel like it. My body needs at least 2L a day, or there is a headache in the making for the following day.

8. Remember that your friends are human and will disappoint you. Getting bent out of shape simply prolongs the agony.

Thanks for stopping by my small blog! ;-)

But I love you. I really do.
