5. Get fit!
It’s ridiculous to think that we have one body, one sole means of functioning, and people are too lazy to take care of
themselves. Fit bodies lead to better health, confidence and more success with romantic endeavors. I’d say those are 3
very good reasons to get in shape.
9. Drink water.
Hydration is tremendously important for overall health. Soda has absolutely ZERO nutritional content; it’s like pouring a
punch of sugar and syrup into your cup. Instead, fill it with life-replenishing water. It may taste plain at first if you’re
coming off of a heavy soda-drinking streak, but you’ll soon find yourself addicted to it. 10 glasses per day is optimal,
how many have you been getting lately?
18. Read “Bringers of Light” and “Conversations with God” by Neale Donald Walsch.
These books will help you decide what you want to do in this life and how to get to that point. They will also profoundly
change the way you look at the purpose of existence. Read them!
22. Travel.
Anyone who has ever gone anywhere will tell you that traveling is one of the most exciting and
life-changing activities that you can do. Observing a different culture will expand your mind
while making you further appreciate the life you already live. This goes back to becoming an
explorer: this world is your jungle so go explore! Who knows, maybe you’ll find a place you
love so much that you decide to move. Imagine the positive repercussions a new environment
could have on your life.
34. Relax!
This one is for you work-o-holics out there (myself included). Yes, work is very important and productive but you need to
take some time to chill out everyday or you are going to burn out faster than a candle with no oxygen. Additionally, you
need to reward yourself for a job well done. What’s the use of doing all of that work if you can’t have a little fun from
time to time anyways?
Master the piercing stare. You know when someone looks at you and it feels like they can see into your soul?
Well that’s not a hereditary characteristic, it just takes practice. Work on sharpening your gaze in the mirror.
You’ll know you have it when it’s intimidating to continue looking at yourself
Master the one-eyebrow raise. This one isn’t necessary by any means, but hey, why not? Pick a brow to learn with
Master the one-eyebrow raise. This one isn’t necessary by any means, but hey, why not? Pick a brow to learn with
and go look in a mirror. Raise both of your eyebrows but use your hand to hold down the brow that you want to
stay down. This will probably feel very stupid at first but if you keep trying, you will eventually pin down the
muscle you need to flex to get that one brow up
37. Be mysterious.
Don’t let off everything about you and definitely leave out some major details. There is something both alluring and
mesmerizing about someone that no one knows fully about. I’m not saying to confide in no one or to alienate yourself.
Just think James Bond.
42. Read something inspirational right before bed and after waking.
This will set get you in a great mood for sleep and for the day. Read anything from a famous speech to your favorite self-
improvement book. Try to read something that get’s you really excited in the morning especially so that you’ll leave
your house beaming with energy and wonder.
Hey, I'm the creator of HighExistence. I love inspiring others to follow their bliss, which in turn fulfills my
own. I live for traveling, late-night conversations and moments of intense clarity or intoxication.

from list of 10 to 50 now…message somewhat diluted and essence is too dissipated – forcing some
good old cherry picking

Thanks for your comment, Ben. The world would be a better place; it’s too bad more people
don’t follow personal development blogs (and follow the advice!).

A lot of these tips are really great. Here’s a little more instruction on how to be more charismatic:
instead of visualizing yourself as charismatic, visualize someone who you already think is
charismatic. Then visually “step into their place”. This is a great technique for taking on personality
characteristics from other people.
Thanks!

Actually I’m writing an article on exactly that technique right now! I too have found that
personifying someone is much easier and effective than visualizing yourself already changed.
Thanks for the comment Eric

Well unless you’re an amazing lucid dreamer, sleep is an idle state for you. I’m an efficiency
freak so sleep, to me, is a waste of time. Especially if I can go about it in more productive ways
and get more done in my waking hours :)

A little cheesy and a lot of it already in action. Some minor spelling errors, mostly grammatical, and a
seemingly unconscious bias towards ideals in relation to human logic. (This is very slight however
and will more often than not go unnoticed by most.) In overview, an amusing read worthy of note,
and acknowledgment toward the grains of insight this article offers to it author and readers alike.

I think it’s really easy to read a long list like this and like a appreciate a lot of the ideas, but then go on
with your day and forget about it. To avoid doing that, I’m planning on picking one of the items on
this list which I think is particularly good (perhaps #3, to start with) and making focusing on actually
implementing that suggestion, for the next week or month, however long it takes for me to build a
habit of living that suggestion. Then I’ll pick a new one :) Thanks for the inspirational ideas!

I stumbled across this site on accident and I haven’t been able to close it since. This is a great site you
have and I really love all the articles. I’ve written down most of the things on this list that I want to
fully implement into my life right away. Your a great inspiration and I would really like to see you
write a book on all this stuff. I’ve read other blogs/books but none were as well written as anything
on here.

I found your site “stumbling” along the web and I absolutely love your articles!! This post just
reminds me that I need to get back to the basics so I’m printing this and going to make it my checklist
to remind myself to get back in the habit of doing at least a few of these items daily and adding more
as they become habits! Let’s see how that works out :-)

I loved this article. I’m actually in the process of changing my life around. I woke up one morning a
few weeks ago and it felt like I was opening my eyes for the first time. It’s true that when you start a
path to somewhere unknown the path finds you. Finding this article just reaffirms that. Thank you :)

Awesome write up! I’ve seen similar lists done before but I am definitely coming back to this one. I
want to spend some time reading through it a bit slower and make a list of the books you’ve
recommended in it. Good stuff, keep it up. I am jealous, you’ve had over 100k of stumbles. For the
life of me I can’t figure out the right way to approach this on my site.
Thanks again,
Vitaliy

Here’s something to memorize: It’s “every day.” It’s two separate words. The one-word version is an
adjective. For example, “My everyday life is burdened by those who are functionally illiterate.”
Commit that to memory and pass it on.

Hey Jordan
I stumbled upon this page of your site, liked it, and then decided to explore the rest of your site. It’s
all awfully interesting stuff. But I came back to this page to make sure I bookmarked it. Then I got to
thinking, I bookmark tons of sites, and I never really come back to them. And these 50 things are
things I want to think about every day. So I wrote down each bolded part on one sheet of paper that I
promise I will carry with me always. I want all these things to be habits in my life, every day of my
life. Thank you Jordan, you’ve probably made me a better person.

I really like what I’ve read so far in this article. (I’m sleepy and will finish later). There is a blog that I
would like to recommend that has very similar topics: http://www.marcandangel.com/ I’m not being
paid by this blog to advertise, but I think it’s a useful blog.

Thanks for putting all 50 together! Did you struggle to keep it to 50?
May I share the 50 on my site as an article with a link back to your site please?
Thanks,

well <3

This is an amazing article! Kudos. I love all of them, except maybe “get fit”. “I’m in shape. Round is
a shape!” Great job. I’ll keep these in mind!

Wow. I normally don’t respond to articles I read online, but this one is a must for me. Even though
I’ve only just finished reading it, I feel strongly that many of the things listed here will have a
profound impact on my life. I try hard to be open minded and objective in everyday life, but it’s hard
to maintain conciousness of these points as one progresses through busy days. Thank you so much
for caring enough about the people who read this to share it with the world.
