Not Satisfied with Your Life, Then Change Something

Morning shows intrigue me, especially when they are about surveys. On the NBC Today Show this morning, they highlighted a survey about what caused people the most dissatisfaction in their lives. In this survey, appearance ranked highest. That started me thinking.

What can you do to your appearance that will make you happier? People are often dissatisfied with their weight. Take the Dr. Oz show, for example. How many diet changes has he shown? There always seems to be a new diet fad. What was important a few years ago--cholesterol levels--is now less important. Eggs were bad; now they are good. Now we need to go on a paleo diet and get rid of all gluten. It's a little confusing. What to do?

Just change something.

Buy a new shirt or dress--something different for you. Perhaps a brighter color or unusual pattern will make you smile.

Change your hair style. Add bangs to update your look. (I love bangs and had no idea they were ever out of style!)

Go to the gym. That's really important. It can change your life in a good way. If you exercise regularly, you won't need to go on a diet. For years, I've taken classes at least three times a week. If you attend a class, that will keep you on a schedule that you are more likely to stick to. Vary the kinds of classes, if possible. I take yoga, tabata, and zumba. I also play tennis.

My mother always told me that health is everything. If you don't have good health, nothing else is important. Of course, she was right. That's why heading to the gym, or some place else, for exercise is essential.

Not satisfied with your life, then change something. Do what you always wanted to do, but never dared try. Take up skydiving, join a bridge club, take art lessons, join a theatrical group.

Just change something. You'll be glad.
