We learned so much from our parents and much of it applies to your life and happiness as an adult. Here are some tips your parent probably tried to teach you. Learn and practice them now, and you will find your life becoming simpler and more successful.

Don’t tell lies. This applies everywhere in your personal life and your business life. The effects of lying can be substantial, so just don’t do it! You will earn respect and trust from others that will pay off big time. Best of all, learning not to lie to yourself, in other words, keeping the promises you make to yourself, will result in an inner integrity that will make you feel more secure in life.

Clean up after yourself. This simple act will create order in your life and save you time and effort. It really is so much easier to clean up as you go. Making and leaving a mess keeps you in a state of disorder that will affect your productiveness in a negative way. So, pick up after every project, clean up after every meal and you will create a calmer environment and feel less pressure in your life.

Play nice with other people. Have a happy disposition and smile at strangers as well as friends. Spread a little joy as you go through life. When you do this you will find yourself noticing the good things all around you. Be positive with others and they will be first to step up when they see you in need. You will never want for companionship if you remember to play nice.

Go outside and play. In today’s world we spend a lot of time indoors, working in offices or at home. Take some time each day to go outside, take a walk, notice the weather and enjoy soaking up some rays or watching a shower from your porch. Use the time to think about what could make your life better. You may find ideas popping into your head as you tune out the normal office noise. Jot them down; these moments offer time to let your creative juices flow. Step outside and play with your dog, your kid or by yourself, for just a few minutes each day for added enjoyment of life.

Throw out or give away the things you don’t play with anymore. This will make your environment calmer and clear the way for things you will use. Plus, it’s fun to give things away that you don’t need anymore. So, if you got over that scrap-booking phase but know someone who’s just getting started at it, haul those supplies over to their place where they will get some use. Your closets will be roomier and you mind will be, too. Holding on to stuff we don’t use tends to weigh on our minds and holds us back.

I bet you heard most of these tips when you were a child. Well, it’s time you used this great advice that your parents tried to teach you. Use these tips as an adult to simplify and make your life more fun and creative.
