Psychologist David Cannon shared some tips that are guaranteed to make your life better. David claims that if you start following these tips today, in five years you will be 100% healthier, happier and calmer. Well, it’s worth a try, especially since some methods don’t require much time, effort or money.

1. Laugh for five minutes every morning.

Everyone knows that laughter energizes a person and improves mood, and according to researchers, it can also become a personal trainer for the entire body.

2. Write down a new thought or idea every day.

Keep searching and you may find gold. And when you do, act quickly.

3. Read one new book every week.

Sounds utopian? To cope with this difficult task, it is worth mastering speed reading.

4. Board and card games: it is necessary to keep the brain working at all times.

Solve puzzles, solve crosswords, play online poker for an hour a day to keep your brain in good shape.

5. Keep a diary.

Sometimes, simply writing about your day will help you notice things you hadn't noticed before. Plus, it will help you retain as many memories as possible and reflect on your decisions and actions.

6. Choose your friends carefully.

Tell me who your friend is and I'll tell you who you are. They say that we are the average of the five people we spend most time with. If you want to become better, take a closer look at your surroundings and cut off unnecessary connections, part with random people whose communication drags you down rather than inspires you.

7. Watch more documentaries than feature films.

How much time do we waste on empty things? But documentaries are not only entertainment, a pleasant pastime, but also an opportunity to broaden your horizons.

8. Remember: flossing is even more important than brushing.

It's an axiom - you really can't maintain long-term oral health without flossing.

9. Learn a foreign language.

Nowadays, knowledge of a foreign language is not just an indicator of education and intellectual development. It is a vital necessity.

10. Maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Focus on your health the same way you focus on love or career. Give up junk food, smoking and other bad habits.

11. Forget about fear - it is the lot of the weak.

Everyone has fears, and everyone copes with their fears in their own way, depending on their psychological state and maturity. Very immature individuals go to extremes and drown out their fear with alcohol, drugs, shopping and food, while mature individuals find solutions and overcome their fear.

12. Save money.

Start saving 10% of your income and invest it in stocks or real estate. In five years, you'll be surprised at how much you've saved.

13. Give yourself a break.

At least one day a week, forget about the computer, TV and work. Just take a break. And from technology too.

14. Correspondence with yourself.

Write yourself a letter that you will open in five years. And don't forget to ask yourself some questions in that letter.

15. Love works miracles.

Fall in love! Mindlessly, selflessly. Let this strong feeling take over you completely and help you become a little better.

16. Explore the world around you.

Go to a new place every day, even if it's just a new neighborhood in your city or a new restroom at the mall.

17. Silence is golden.

Try to remain silent for just one minute. During this time, pay attention to what thoughts come to your mind and what emotions take hold of you. After a minute of silence, immediately write everything down. Believe me, this will help you understand yourself.
