37. Donate clothes you never wear.
We tend to hang onto stuff "just in case." If you haven't worn it in a year, give someone else the chance to.

And if something is so expensive that you think that you won't be able to? Don't buy it.
39. Avoid people who complain a lot.

40. Remove negativity or anything that makes you feel lousy.
Even things like super sad movies or news sources that just upset you.
41. Travel somewhere with no map.
"I’d also recommend going on a road trip without using Apple or Google maps. No GPS. Just start driving and see where it takes you," says Muth. "You’ll never know what sort of fun and exciting adventure you’ll end up on as a result."
42. Wear sunscreen.
The sun can do damage even when you're driving in the car. Make SPF your new best friend.
43. Cook more.
It's therapeutic, and you'll probably end up with something pretty darn delicious.
