Kindness

There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will be to treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity.
-- Nathaniel Branden, author and psychologist

Adventure

Adventure isn't hanging on a rope off the side of a mountain.
Adventure is an attitude that we must apply.
To the day to day obstacles of life -
Facing new challenges, seizing new opportunities,
Testing our resources against the unknown and in the process,
Discovering our own unique potentional.

Just Believe in Yourself
People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success. - Norman Vincent Peale 1898-1993, American Christian Reformed Pastor, Speaker, Author

Play Games
Challenge your mind by playing games like Boggle, Scrabble, and Chess. It will make you think.

Learn a new fact
To expand your mind, learn a new fact a day. Even it seems trivial, you may never know, it might come in handy some day.

Mirror Technique
Mirror Technique: This technique is great for helping you see yourself as beautiful. I learned this from Louise Hay books and modified it for my own use.

Stand in front of the mirror, preferably in underwear or naked. Start at one end of your body & work to the other end finding as many nice things to say about your body as you can. For example: "I love my ears. They hear well and enable me to listen. They have a beautiful shape. I love my wonderful ears."
Doing this techniques helps you find and appreciate more of you. All of your body does important functions. Your eyes see, ears hear, nose smells, and heart pumps blood.

Building Vocabulary
Most vocabulary words are learned from context. The more words you're exposed to, the better vocabulary you will have. While you read, pay close attention to words you don't know. First, try to figure out their meanings from context. Then look the words up. Read and listen to challenging material so that you'll be exposed to many new words.

Every Life is Precious.
Pick an incentive and reward yourself for success. As you go along be proud of what you accomplished and give yourself a reward. It can be anything you want. New clothes, a book, or quiet time. Whatever you want that makes you happy, do it. Remember, you are worth it.

Read Books
If you think you might be interested in a new hobby, but are not sure, pick up a book on the subject.

Pick up a paper
Scan the newspaper daily. It will keep you up on current events and you will know what people are talking about.
