Would you do a list of 5, 6 or 7 things that you should do to improve your quality of life?
If I think about myself, I think that shouldl stay less time in front of this monitor. Besides that I really care about my quality of life, walking in the fields, enjoying every single moment. I would love to hear your opinion because this can be very useful to other people.
Thank you so much for sharing.

DON’T WORRY ABOUT YOUR ENGLISH. BUT IF YOU FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE, POST IN YOUR MOTHER TONGUE (PORTUGUES, ESPANOL, FRANÇAIS, ETC.).
My life revolves around these areas – relationship with God, my family, my passion for singing, inspiring people through my A New Thinking Seminar, my desire or my personal legend – turn things around for poor families most especially the kids, and lastly my career. I’m almost complete except for my career. I’m not happy where I am working right now so early this year I will focus my efforts to apply for another job, offer my passion and talents and give my best. Strive to earn more and fulfill my life’s small and big dreams.
I also intend to change so many things about me. I want to develop patience, humility, positive thinking, focus, and persistence.
To improve the quality of my life I would
Love & serve God more
Be more patient.
Take time to listen to people.
Help others
Go out and experience life
To improve the quality of your life forget about the money and do the work that you like .Don’t think about the salary.

For me quality of life begins with the right conditions that I creat (givent the restrictions, natural or imposed) to be able to think, develop and to get the answers I am looking for, and to grow as my own individual. Anything lower is a matter of just surviving. It is when you already have the minimal confort you need to “enjoy the chosen life quaity”, whatever it means to the person.
To me, Quality of life depends on how much paasionate i am about my work.
how much deeply i am connected with my routines…
am i able to do what i wanted/planned to.. in my day to day life.
the satisfaction one gets through the finished tasks…
i have to improve my writing skills
These are my daily reminders to a better quality life:
1. Be assertive. I find the act alone brings much satisfaction because I voice, give great value to my feelings. I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks and being assertive makes me feel free.
2. Have conversations with self. I learn more about my spiritual self this way. Sometimes this help me focus my senses to better exist in the corporal world.
3. Move your body, keep active. At least once a week, I create and release energy by doing an intense workout through a workout video. I keep quitting but I last longer with each cycle.
4. Express love… to your families, friends, lover, pets, nature. When I do this I open myself to the opportunity to receive love and feel special. It’s like exercising your heart.
5. Be of service to someone or the planet. Volunteer, share your ideas, just do one action that benefits someone or the planet. No action is too small. Doing this allows you to meet new people, learn something new, appreciate life, and understanding beauty in another form. It also empowers you.
in order to improvemy qualityof lifei should cleanmyhouse whichis i do not do…..i wish i could have the energyto do it………………
Well.. after going through all the above articles..i can sum up the quality of our life as;
1.Be grateful to everyone even to the strangers.
2.Wherever you are whatever you do,always try to do your best coz nobody knows what’s gonna happen tommorrow but if your deeds are great you’ll always be remembered and cared forever.
3.Some dreams are so worthy,we need to lose everything to gain it..
4.Be always apart from pessimist people..because they cannot make you feel that you too can become great.
Myself being an IT professional,working 8-10 hrs a day,it’s not easy for me to enrich the quality of my life.but i live every single moment to my best.I watch the birds flying by,the factory laborers passing by,the hawkers and always convince myself that i am not alone..there are people in this world like me..but what sets me apart is my courage to be different form other irrespective of the present scenario.
I always believe that “our work is the presentation of our capabilities” (old saying)
So i want to do something different to enrich the quality of life for the sake of others and of my own.
It reminds of Bhagavadgita quote:
” Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion. Reasoning is destroyed when the mind is bewildered. One falls down when reasoning is destroyed.”
As Albert Einstein said : “When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous”
Biebk, thanks for your words of wisdom. I love the way you have numbered your points.
I had never read that quote before.. “our work is a presentation of our capabilities” – so very true.. I’m at the moment developing a documentary – it has been short listed in the hope to finally being broadcast. I’m loosing faith a little but your words have inspired me and I have decided I will do the best I can with the rest of my day and prove to the tv station that my chosen story is worth telling.

Good luck with your story Loretta.
Mi calidad de vida es el tema que hoy a obsesionado mi pensamiento en los últimos años, y el sentimiento que más me ofrece es de tristeza y frustración, porque quisiera hacer tantas cosas, disfrutar de ellas ahora que me queda poco tiempo de juventud, y tristemente no he podido, siempre hay algo que me detiene a hacerlas, mi vida es una rutina constante entre mi trabajo, mi casa, la computadora y el Internet, no hay más, y yo quiero hacer más, quiero ver, quiero respirar, quiero tocar,quiero oler, quiero experimentar para que de esta manera mi vida se enriquezca a tal grado que sienta que mi calidad de vida ha prosperado, ¿pero porque es tan difícil lograrlo? ¿que se necesita para llevar a cabo tus deseos?
Hay una vida haya afuera, hay miles de cosas que quisiera ver conocer y disfrutar y sobretodo vivir cosas buenas o no tan buenas, quisiera sonreír sentirme viva sentirme feliz!!!!!!, eso es calidad de vida, sentirse plena.
Suena fácil pero no lo es.
quality of life reflects oneself , life is full of ups n downs filled wit loads n loads of surprises n mysterious ! understanding them well is da main n top priority of life , witout understandin n acknowledging is a fools work , so being calm n optimistic in bad times , n nvr get buried by da burden of life n enjoyin every moment wheather bad or gud is called da actual quality of life !
Read more each day
Get some form of exercise
meditate when i wake up
build better friendships
listen to my inner voice more often
be thankful on what i have…
don’t expect anything and be happy…
I came across this statement a long long time ago. And I believe the daily practice improves not only the quality of life but also the state of well being.
” A day without laughter is a day wasted”
So if everyday before the turn of day to night, a smile or a laugh that brings the soul to a certain high, then you know that the day is well spent. I believe that constant awareness that we are responsible for our happiness and share that happiness undconditionally to another person helps in defining a quality life.

Paulo,do ponto de vista material,qualidade de vida para mim é:
-Procurar ter saúde através de uma alimentação saudável e prática de exercícios(mas não deixar de ter um bom plano de saúde)
-Procurar ter uma ocupação, seja seu trabalho ou não, porque cabeça vazia………… e dinheiro também é necessário…
-Procurar morar em um lugar acolhedor, onde voce possa receber bem seus amigos e familiares,que tenha um cantinho para leitura,ouvir música, assistir filmes,brincar com animais e cuidar de um jardim.Onde voce possa também fazer suas orações em agradecimento a tudo que conseguiu até hoje.Onde não haja violência!!
Hi everyone! Long time, no see but now I’m here :o) I’ve missed you all!
Let’s see, how to improve the quality of life…there are many things to be done, every person knows best what suits her/him more but for me the following ones really work:
1. Sahaja Yoga meditation sessions, prayers, trying to see and understand the Truth in every religion and in everything that exists in general
2. patience and understanding–life always offers us the best lessons, it’s important to realize that everything is possible, that today is a new day and the Sun will shine no matter what goes on in our lives. God can do whatever He/She believes it’s necessary and beneficial for our spiritual growth, because divine love is beyond everything else, knows everything and is the highest vibration existing
3. enjoy the blessings of Mother Earth no matter the season or the place
4. try to maintain balance in everything we are and do
5. cleansing techniques using natural elements: water, fire, air, ether, earth ( and recently I’ve discovered Macca, a plant from the Andes, a very powerful detox for the body, both physical and spiritual)
6. believe in good and in all its qualities manifested under different aspects of life, believe in our inner self, in our instinct
Lots of love and may God bless the whole world now and forever! :o)
sto sempre aspettando cosa ne pensi di THE KISS di Klimnt
Quality of life..
I try to wakeup early; go to roof usually with my wife and sometimes with eight year old daughter- and watch quietly easter part sky becoming faint red to dark red. As Sun gradually comes up, the mountain peaks get sunny and sunlight gradually illuminates the lower part of the mountain and soon reach my roof top. As it happens, sparrows start chattering, pigeons, doves, crows, mynas and several leaf birds make the surrounding lively. Every time I watch it, it give me a hope, energy and peace that enrich my life for the day!
Then my life moves on normally (other word to describe it may be crazily) as we separate for the day and go to offices, school.
Then evening comes once again we get united at our home; usually at kitchen- share about each other’s day while cooking and eating dinner. Sometimes we watch TV but mostly we read papers, books while our daughter does her homework.
We are in sound health with comfortable financial position (not burried under heavy loan) and have good social network with family-relatives and friends.
And we are happy!

why cant we heal the wounds wats wrong with u and i
its not u ther is something wrong with i
1. Gracefully keep up with my expansion and awareness.
2. Be less judgemental.
3. More compassionate.
4. Develop deeper inner peace
5. Make happy choices..always.
Io penso che la chiave di tutto sta nell’ amore e avere una visione ottista di tutte le cose perchè nulla accade per caso.
Quindi per migliorare la qualità della vita si dovrebbe:
- Amare il prossimo e saper aiutare chi ne ha bisogno.
- Sconfiggere l’ira, l’odio e la violenza.
- Essere umili.
- Cercare la pace interiore
- Trovare piacere nel lavoro che si deve svolgere.
- Pregare più speso e non solo quando siamo disperati.
Caro Andrea,
La chiave e nel’amore ma non basta per migliorare la vita propria.
Certo niente accade per caso, essere sempre disponibili verso l’altri in fine ti lascia con la domanda:
- Ma perche non faccio io con me come faccio con altri ?
Essere umili e nobile ma non ti rende la vita migliore per principio.
Una vita intera ho visuto con principi che tu hai elencato e oggi mi trovo piena di domande e dubbii !
Paulo ha posto la domanda che cosa fare per migliorare la propria vita e sinceramente la vera risposta per me e amare me stessa un po di piu.
Anche Gesu a detto: Amate il prossimo come se steso !
Allora se io non amassi me stessa come potrei amare gli altri ?
Ciao

quality of life:
1. put GOD firt in all things you do, be thankful that GOD had given you another life, another day, another morning to wake up and to correct all the faults that you had in the past. Be thankful! that you had air to breath, water to drink, food to eat, clothes to wear, eyes to see, a mouth to keep a smiling face and giving encourgaing words, a hand to held for comfort and to help those who are in need, a brain to think and appreciate the world.
2. whatever you do, you should do your best! you can’t bring time back!
3. tell your love ones, friends and even acquaintances how much you care for them. show and tell them how much you love them, because we didn’t know when our last time on earth.
4. love yourself! appreciate yourself! you should not abuse yourself from vices.
5. silence. silence can tell a lot of stories, a lot of feelings and inhibitions. you should have a few minutes a day for silence, for prayer, to appreciate your life and your surroundings, to know how lucky you are that you are still here living on earth.
6. help others. as long as you can help the person in need, don’t hesitate to extend your hand. GOD will bless you.
QUALITY-defines as to meet the necessary standard or condition to be entitled to something; become officially recognized as able to do a particular job; and limit the meaning of a statement. LIFE-defines as the condition of being able to function and grow; the existence of an individual; a particular type or aspect of existence, vitality or energy, living things and activity. as a nurse, quality of life is always the priority. i who takes care of critically ill patients, quality of life is not just decreasing the patient’s pain felt on their bodies, not just providing their needs at most time, not just thinking of the management of their prognosis of their diseases. it’s about acknowlegding them as a person.
i do start my duty with a simple greeting, giving them a happy and smiling face. after having a small talk, i would ask them if i could offer a prayer for them. most of my patients do said yes, and after the prayer, i felt my whole duty to be smooth sailing, my patients all getting better. i’m happy that i gave them positive outlook in life, bringing them back to GOD and to keep the faith in HIM and believing in GOD’s words. one of my patient had said, “i don’t know you fine woman, but you offering me a prayer makes me felt happy, that someone is thinking of me, taking care of me and is acknowledging me that i am alive.”
- indulge in no thought, and see who you see
– feel the path and lead yourself
– know what you have to give
– take in what helps you grow
– avoid judging, but for the taste of wine
All i CAN do is take one step at the time. Hoping that i will continue to get the wisdom i so need. And the strength i need even more…to help/ save one of my children.
To pass on that wich i’ve learned through your books and through love. So i will show and one day leave behind the best possible lagacy that a mother can leave behind.
I hurt…and quality is strange, for it is there..in my mind..dressed as hope without( when i listen to others ) proof. And the smile is big also…even if tears are on the inside.
So what i need to carry on doing is to never be defeated by dispair.
And carry on believing that work and good and the right words of hope will overcome anything.
Thank you Paulo for feeding my child through what i got from your books. Very carefully and gently…one step at the time…it might permanently bring him out of drug abuse and into believing that he too has a goal in life and is needed. And that would be a large improvement of the quality of my life. ANd all i can think of at the moment.
I was finally ready to start living my own life more. But then this
happened. So it wasn’t and isn’t my time yet. And i can not separate the two. But i do believe that sometimes bad things will lead to cleaning up what needs to be cleaned up.And then move forward.
I don’t know what else to say.
But one day i shall write about the good things that came to us..when we least expected it.
Thank you so much.
Dear Jennifer,
It seems to me that you are doing a very good job, given your circumstances. These things are complex and take time, as you said, step by step!
Looking forward to the day when you will be giving us good news of how you are progressing. Good luck with everything.
Love, Theresa

Ask to be understood [as to understand.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer_of_Saint_Francis ]
1-Finding love
2-Feel entirely free
3-Finding myself and what I what to do with my life
4-Feel every moment with intensity like I did before
5-Fight harder for my dreams
I listen to new age music.I think Feng Shui has an interesting and valid impact, I used to do things they advice, and I can say it was useful. Obviously I do only some things, and not all time…
5) Spend more time with people who are positive and encouraging, who have aspirations of their own and are seeking to realize them. Stay away from people who are negative and discouraging, who have no dreams of their own and/or seek to sabotage those who do.
In my experience, the people whom I choose to associate myself with is something that greatly affects the quality of my life. When I am surrounded by negative people or people who are, in essence, doing NOTHING with their lives, I become convinced that my own dreams are, indeed, unrealistic. My aspirations take on this quality of the “unreal” – the “impossible.” On the other hand, when I surround myself with others who are struggling to achieve their personal best, seeking to realize their own dreams – people who are “fighting the good fight” – I begin to feel like, “Yes, I can do this!” My realization of my dreams doesn’t seem “impossible” at all but actually inevitable: “I MUST do this! I WILL do this!”
And yet nothing has changed, only the people around me are different. My dreams are the same, but my perspective has changed, as influenced by the people I have selected to associate myself with. In that positive atmosphere, I thrive, I find myself striving with all my might, believing fully in the power of my own actions and decisions. Believing that I WILL succeed, I do everything necessary to make that success a reality.
I really think that, often, when our dreams seem “unrealistic,” “intangible,” – “impossible” – it is due to the shadows cast upon our own outlook by those people who surround us. Sometimes this negative influence can be quite explicit and overt. At other times it is merely implicit and covert, almost too subtle to be detected, and yet it has its affect upon us, just the same. It disempowers us, disables us, demoralizes us and prevents us from taking our own dreams seriously enough to make them a reality. The company a person keeps really does matter a great deal in terms of the ability to realize one’s dreams.
It is by no accident that the most powerful and effective leaders the world has ever known – both the benevolent and the despotic – have been known to surround themselves with people who persistently declared: “Yes, you can! Nothing is beyond your capability.” This is the way I should like to choose my friends and close associates in life – much in the same way that a great leader would select a cabinet of advisors: seeking out and building close relationships with people who are benevolent, truly good at heart, wise, positive, encouraging, and who exemplify traits which I would hope to cultivate in myself.
I really think that the social environment one places oneself in can make the difference between success and failure of one’s dreams. Yes, our dreams are our own and only we can make them come true, but this is very hard, if not impossible to do, if one is constantly being bombarded with discouraging messages from negative people, or if one is surrounded by people who are forever seeking to sabotage the efforts that one is making. Thus, I believe that taking control of my own life also entails taking control of my personal relationships and exercising careful discernment in that arena: choosing to be around positive people and getting the negative people OUT of my life.
This pertains, as well, to family. There is an old saying: “You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family.” This may be true, but, at least upon reaching adulthood, you CAN choose how much time you spend with certain members of your family. Even within the context of family, you CAN choose not to allow negative and discouraging people to assume a primary role in your life.
Much Love,
Savita
Dear Savita,
I always love reading your posts..Thank you for always digging deep and elaborating using all the right words..I had to make a very painful decision to emotionally, mentally and spiritually separate myself from my dysfunctional family members in oRder that I may continue on to the ‘right path’…
I was very encouraged by what Mark Twain said to “STAY AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHO BELITTLE YOUR AMBIITONS. SMALL MINDED PEOPLE DO THAT, BUT THE REALLY GREAT ONES WILL MAKE YOU FEEL THAT YOU TOO CAN BE GREAT”…Even members of our own family whom we thought would be the first ones to support us, unfortunately, if they don’t acknowledge that there is terrible dysfunction, they are the people that you must stay away from if you want a more decent lifestyle…
Amazingly though, they themselves will stay away from you if they realize that they can’t drag you down no matter what they do.. One must be spiritually strong to stand up to a new mindset of positivity and possibility and be prepared to be disowned by family…sending love..oxoxox..
hazel
I can agree more with you.
Well written Savita- I will try to be around with more with positive people and away from negative people- consciously.
prakash
Dear Savita,
Well written, well said and well meant. But somehow in the middle of my life I found myself surrounded by negative, draining persons…They entered my life like Troian Horse and all at once I find my real happy self suffocated.
And yes it would be realy good and great change to get rid of them, to push them out of my life and out of my mind…
but
when they (there are more than one) bring me to limits of my endurance they pull back (for their convenience I know it well) and change their attitude counting on my good will and love.
So I find myself living yo-yo life victim of my own consciousness.
Lots of love
Luce
Adoro tudo o que você transmite! ^^
Eu ando buscando também uma melhor qualidade de vida! Super interessante sua ideia. Faz uns minutos estava pensando justamente nisso. Tendo como exemplo a minha vida, as coisas que eu acho que melhorariam a qualidade da vida sao:
1- Aprender a se amar (só quando um se ama é que sabe dar amor)
2- Cuidar dos seres queridos
2- Cuidar da saúde espiritual
3- Cuidar da saúde fisica
4- Buscar sempre tempo paras as coisas que nos dao energia(hobbies)(poderia ser Energizar-se)
5- Exercitar sempre a criatividade
6- Buscar
7- Compartilhar
move and let yourself be moved
While I’m writing down this thought, a second thought
comes running after…
move and let yourself be moved
Could be a definition for pilgrim?
Lots of love,
Vicky
everyday is a learning process and as i learn new things it makes me think of ways to improve my quality of life.
- taking things easy. it really feels good to just let things be and never worry too much.
- laugh more often. it brings a light feeling.
- read a lot. there is always something new to learn
- go out with friends. they take away the loneliness.
- exercise. this always keeps the stress away.
1-reading
2-wach kids when thay playing
3-talking with frinds
4-enjoe love
5-smilling
6-help others every wear
more time for my religion
less pain
more quality time with the family
reading good books (my hobby)
listen more to the people around you they also want to be heard
Quality of my life:
“Laugh often,
Dream big,
Reach for the stars!”
1- Enjoy life , be positif and always smile
2- If you want to be loved and love others you have to start by Loving yourself and be proud of what you are
3- Be responsible of your decisions and don’t ever regret a choice what you made … Read more
4- Follow your dreams and don’t be afraid and don’t matter about what others think about you , the most important thing is that you’re doing what you want no matter what could happen
5- Be unique , be what you want , BE YOUR SELF and no what others want you to be .
I live my life like sleepwalker for last 15 years afraid to affront myself.
And, yes, all above mentioned things would change my life for better.
It will give me time and space to do what I know and like the best:
- singing
- dancing
- painting
- writing
- swimming
- traveling
- laughing
but I do in only short, almost stolen, pieces of time.
Love
Luce
Dear Paulo,
Here is The List just as it comes to my mind:
I should dump my long standing partner and get free from unsatisfactory and draining relationship.
I should dump unchallenging, underpaid job I doo routinety for too many years.
I should not vaste my time on issues and persons that are not worth neitrer my time nor my attention.
I should say frankly to my brother and sister how much energy I spend to heel all wounds they are inflicting dayly by their attitudes and behaviour.
I should put behind me all “secure ways” of life and find courage to do things as and what I wish.
I should be more sincere and show when I am hurted and not appologize for my feelings or missgivings.
I should love myself more !
Dear Paulo,
Thank you ever so much for the question. Putting all this written made me realize how deeply unhappy life I live though on the surface it seems nice and rewarding.
I am vasing my precious time and I can not blame anybody but myself !!!!
Lots of love,
Luce
Good Morning, and Blessed sunday!
In My oppinion I think I have a good quality life, because I enjoy doing the things I’m doing. because if not, whats the point of doing it?!
A few things I do every day:
I manage my time to have both material and spiritual activities.
I share love and joy of life with my wife, children, parents and friends.
I work with my two brain hemispheres on scientific and artistic activities.
I help everybody who ask me to awaken.
I feel happy with simple things.
I keep naturally smiling and positively thinking.
I fight for improving enlightenment in the global brain round the Earth.
Exercise more.
Belive more
Forgive more
Stop drinking coca cola evertytime
Forget and make people involve forget the PAST
Make new friends
to stop living my life for others
I would be more spontaneous, hike and take more photographs, fall in love, laugh more, be more childlike versus childish, follow through with my imagination, believe more, listen to music more, dance more, take up flaminco, make documentaries, write more, be less judgemental, be more, love more.
When you are suffering of corporal pains, your quality of life improves spontanously as soon pains are over – then you feel awesome and miss nothing in life anymore. It’s so easy!
