Sometimes we tend to become complacent with technological advances we use. Let them not replace adequate exercise, dietary habits, or personal interactions. It is acceptable to use modern conveniences, but don’t forget about traditional means. Sometimes old way of conducting tasks might take more time, but that is part of enjoyment. Walking to a bus or train stop might take an extra thirty minutes, but extra time you spend is not wasted. Instead you are using thirty minutes to reflect on yourself and world around you along with providing your body an outlet for exercise.

Sitting down and writing someone a letter may take more time out of your day than a phone call, but it is worth extra effort. A letter written traditionally or even through email is a welcomed distraction for its recipient.

Taking time out of your day to cook your own food can be a warming change for your mind, body, and spirit. If you don’t know how to cook or are baffled in kitchen, take small steps and start reading some cookbooks. You can buy cookbooks at store or go to your local library. Abandon microwave meals and take-out for home cooked meals. They are typically better for your body and they allow you to have more control over what you are ingesting.

Being mindful of your activities in life allows you to concentrate on your impact on world. Even small actions on your part can leave big impressions. Take a moment to justify and evaluate your daily performances and make changes where necessary. A compassionate heart deserves compassionate living.

What these friendships do touch are our hearts. They leave precious imprints where they matter most. These friendships are gifts unto themselves as they are aligned with our inner workings and details. They somehow give us comfort no matter what our state of mind and they seem to blanket our worries with little or no effort. They exist not out of force, but out of care.

These spiritual friendships allow us to actually feel insides of another. They allow us that close of a connection that typically both people can feel others thoughts and emotions. We are attracted to them because we are intended to be. These friendships may baffle and surprise us as they can sneak up on us quickly, but they are friendships that need not go unnoticed and certainly not forgotten, for however long they are to stay.
