(I asked OpenAI if it could list out 365 suggestions for a human to live a long and healthy life. It provided this entire list in real time. If one thing a day was done over the course of a year and repeated over the course of a life, then it could be assumed that it would be a life well-lived with minimal regrets.)
Before starting this list, I want to exacerbate with an emphasis on awareness… please take a second and really analyze what is NOT on this list… this list does not encourage to work more hours for more money, this list does not encourage adultery, murder, or things typically associated with pleasure within a hedonistic lifestyle, a hedonistic morality, or purely pleasure seeking… lastly, notice has forms of fasting are repeated over and over again as if to suggest regular forms of sacrifice will ultimately lead towards a life of happiness and fulfillment. To not see the influence of Jesus’ teachings in this list is to be ignorant of the blessings we have in the modern world. Life is a gift. Appreciate it!
