for the first time in 42 years—and nothing bad had happened. “And you know what?”

don’t dry my dishes anymore, either.” ___38___ One was discovering that she had choices in her

life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself permission to be less than perfect.

themselves and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of

an easy way. Decide what you want in

themselves. ___39___ So what is the solution? There’s

your life, and put that first. On a daily basis, that should include regular meals, enough sleep and

time with your family. Exercise, leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of

life. ___40___ The choice is yours: whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life.

office. Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers. Fill more of your time with

Four simple ways to stay positive

Trying to stay positive, both in good times and bad, is a great way to improve your quality

of life. Try these four methods on a daily basis.

What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside. Fill yourself

with good, healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking. Exercise is equally of great

importance. Take a few days out of your week for at least a half an hour of activity, and try to stick

to a routine.▁18▁

also yours as well. Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect. Good deeds are

contagious ( 传染的), and your positive attitude may spread among others.

better.
