How Can I Be Happy?
5 Little Changes That Made a Big Difference For My Sanity

You know the drill: live fast, die young. Great idea in theory, but the thing is, I do not want to die young. I started walking at a below average pace and three things happened: my heart rate sang for joy, my stress levels decreased significantly, and I was seeing rather than just looking around me. I started taking the bus. It has its faults — it's slower than taking the train or riding in a car, and I have to carefully budget time to use it — but it's worth it. On a bus, I can really take in every stop; something that's impossible in any other transportation method. Live slow, die old.
I am on the long and winding road to true self-love and self-confidence, but with little changes, I can see a bigger, positive change in the future. I am paying attention to my own needs and I am much better for it. That makes me really happy.
