Whenever I am struggling with life in general, I try to focus on the dozen delights. Things that enrich the human experience. Try to hit as many as possible, no judgement. Make a solid effort every day.

1. Mindfulness - be present, meditate or something. Don't focus on the past or future.

2. Hydration - drink some water.

3. Nourishment - eat good food. Not too much lol.

4. Movement - exercise. Whatever that means to you. Go for a walk.

5. Touch - bang someone, hug your dog, etc. physical touch with another living being

6. Fun - laugh and goof off.

7. Curiosity - learn something new.

8. Creativity - draw something, code something, just make something. Use the right side of your brain.

9. Interaction - socialize with someone, in person. Depending on where you're at in your journey even "how about that weather" is a win here.

10. Charity - give something without the expectation of something in return. Easiest is to donate $, but helping a friend works here too.

11. Struggle - get out of your comfort zone and grow.

12. Continuous Improvement - every day is a new day and a chance to be a better person.

13. Sunlight - bonus bakers dozen. Go outside and get some vitamin D and boost your mood.

I reflect on these daily and when I'm having a bad day it's usually because I hit 0 of these.

Thoughts? What do you guys focus on?
