15 Mar Good Choices | March 2025

Good living comes from making good choices.

Mourning Dove, who encourages you to make good choices

Everybody wants to make choices that lead to better living.

So here are nine suggestions to consider.

✅ Be Here

The moment that matters is the one happening now. So be fully present where you are. Take slow breaths, feel your heart beating, and notice what is around you.

✅ Be Active

We have a human responsibility to participate in life. Of course, this begins with caring for yourself. Then it extends to protecting the life around us. So conserve resources, minimize waste, and buy from companies with good values. You could also join, support, or volunteer with organizations working to make life better.

✅ Be Careful

That is, be practical. For example, you could leave earlier so you can drive slower, you could eat healthy organic foods, you could schedule time for thinking. You could spend wisely.

✅ Be Kind

When you send kindness, you reward yourself with feeling better. You also make friends and gain respect. Kindness leads to solutions. And everyone admires those who contribute to solutions.

✅ Be Friendly

Make it a practice of greeting people, even strangers. Let others be the star in your conversations. Be fully present when talking to others. Ask thoughtful questions. Offer praise.

✅ Be Helpful

Find ways to help others. You can easily do this as part of your home routine with family members. Or you can help strangers, for example, by opening doors, letting them go before you, and so on. Of course, be appropriate by offering help that’s appreciated.

✅ Be Grateful

Each of us has some part of our life that works well. Notice and reflect upon that. You might write a list of everything that’s good in your life. Begin with #1: “I’m breathing.”

✅ Be Happy

Smile because it feels better. And a smile makes you more attractive. Laugh because it’s healthy. Act like a child who enjoys every moment.

✅ Be Wise

Make your own list of good choices that would help you. Write this list because that makes your ideas real. Then you can retain and act on them.

Wish you the best,
