THE BARE MINIMUM

People need water, air and food to live, but since we are not stranded on an island or fending for our lives, our lists look slightly different than that. I'm dubbing this the bare minimum. Since we all have good days and bad days, I've been trying to figure out how I can better predict, and then consequently make sure I will have a good day as much as possible. Ideal right?


What do you need to survive on a daily basis? I'm sure every one's list will look different, as we all have much different lives. Try to think up a few of the realistic things you need on a daily basis to get yourself through the day, hopefully with a smile (unless you're just a miserable person), and life might seem a little simpler. REALISTIC is the key here. Most of these things are probably daily habits or occurrences you don't even recognize as necessities, but that's where taking things for granted comes into play.

Is it a morning cup of coffee? A smile from your kid or wag of your dog's tail? A laugh at the morning comics or daily joke? This blog (doubtful, lol) ? A kiss from your hunny? Some sort of mental stimulation or learned knowledge? A workout? Partaking in a hobby like gardening or working on a car?

If you could guarantee yourself your list everyday, the how bad could life really be from day to day? Figure out YOUR bare minimums, then stock up! Word to the wise, keep your list around 7, any higher I'd go with officially labeling yourself high maintenance.
