Make Over Your Life … Gradually
Nearly a year ago, I had a friend who wanted a life makeover. She had a lot of stress in her life, and she was set on reducing it. She was going to change her life from all angles. She had a list of things to start doing or start doing more often:
- Meditate
- Do yoga
- Jog
- Go on a juicing diet
- Update wardrobe
- Go on dates
- Go to therapy
- Read self-help books
- Go to church
