HOW TO BE A BETTER PERSON IN 30 DAYS. (OR NOT.)

My Road to Oprah Archives are Here: How I Tried To Be Better

Here’s my experiment: How to be a better person. Experiments often fail, I know. And so do I at being a better person – the kind of person that always keeps their word, has the best intentions, never gets jealous and only speaks when she has something nice to say.

I see stuff of TV everyday that makes me think everyone is forgetting how to be a better person. I can at least try, right?

I’m going to officially try to be a better person. I have a list. I’m going to follow it. I’ll tell you how I did in detail.

The set-up: I will select one item from the list and do it for a month. I’ll report back often with my experiences and challenges. I’ll finish the month with a lessons learned.

Here we go.

This is my starter list:

• FINALLY forgive old slights
• Meditate
• Surround yourself with growing things
• Practice Yoga
• Eat more fruits and vegetables
• Listen to uplifting music
• Smile at everyone
• Say only positive things all day
• Don’t gossip when you have the chance
• Read poetry
• Make cards for friend and family that tell them how much I love them.
• Give up jealousy
• Give up sarcasm
• Be hopeful
