You may never lick cake. ~ Janice Taylor, Self-Help \/ Weight Loss Artist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Are you ready to jump head first into week 10 of the Feed Your Soul Project?\u00a0 Are you ready to …\u00a0<\/strong><\/em> pull out your mental weeds? Think happy thoughts and\/or cultivate habit awareness?\u00a0 Just imagine what your life could look life if you focused on feeding your soul.<\/p>\n

Here … tips 91 through 100<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

91.\u00a0 Pull out your mental weeds<\/strong>; allow room for the things you care about to grow. After all, mental real estate is limited.<\/p>\n

92. Think happy thoughts.<\/strong>\u00a0 Happier thoughts (happy being a relative term)<\/em> create a stronger and more stable foundation, which put control in your hands, rather than being bounced about by life.<\/p>\n

93. Cultivate habit awareness.<\/strong> Make a list of habits that are not serving you well.\u00a0 Don\u2019t set out to change them (not yet, anyway)<\/em>.\u00a0 Let’s feed our souls with awareness!<\/p>\n

94. Have a meaningful conversation.<\/strong>\u00a0 A recent study from the University of Arizona shows that spending less time participating in small talk and more time having a deep and meaningful conversation leads to increased feelings of happiness!\u00a0 (“Is it hot enough for you yet?”\u00a0 HA!\u00a0 An example of small talk.)<\/em><\/p>\n

95. Ask yourself, \u201cWhat would make this fun?\u201d
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

96. Doodle!<\/strong> Seriously, dudes an dudettes.\u00a0 Doodling is amazingly uplifting and fun.<\/p>\n

97. Tell the truth.<\/strong>\u00a0 Be tactful, be kind, be wise, be sensitive \u2026 be honest … to yourself first and foremost.<\/p>\n

98. Swim, Float or Bathe.<\/strong>\u00a0 There is something magical about being in water.\u00a0 Perhaps, it is because our bodies are comprised of water (a good 75%),<\/em> or because of the time spent in the womb (remember?)<\/em>.\u00a0 Whatever the miracle, go with it.\u00a0 Water heals.<\/p>\n

99. Allow good feelings to linger.<\/strong> With every success, no matter its size, from big to small, \u2018feel\u2019 rewarded<\/strong>.\u00a0 Let those good feelings flow through your body.\u00a0 Look in the mirror and say, “Good for you!”<\/p>\n

100.\u00a0 Take more naps<\/strong>. Sleep is underrated and often forgotten, as it doesn’t even hit our top ten things to do today. \u00a0 And now …\u00a0 it seems appropriate that I take one!\u00a0 After all, we’ve reached the 1\/2 way mark to 200 Ways to Feed Your Soul!\u00a0\u00a0 Feel free to join me!\u00a0 (zzzzz !)<\/em><\/p>\n
