Someone sent me this today and I think it is well worth sharing. Which ones speak to you that you feel the need to add to your life? __________________________________________________________________
1. Take a 10 to 30 minute walk every day. And
while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate
anti-depressant.
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each
day. Buy a lock if you have to.
3. Buy a DVR, tape your late night shows and
get more sleep.
4. When you wake up in the morning, complete
the following statement, My purpose is to____________
today.
5. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm,
and Empathy.
6. Play more games and read more books than you
did in 2007.
7. Make time to practice meditation and prayer.
They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
8. Spend more time with people over the age of
70 and under the age of 6.
9. Dream more while you are awake.
10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants
and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
11. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat
blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds and
walnuts.
12. Try to make at least three people smile each
day.
13. Clear the clutter from your house, your car,
your desk and let new and flowing energy into your
life.
14. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip,
energy vampires, issues of the past, negative
thoughts or things you cannot control.
Instead, invest your energy in the
positive present moment.
15. Realize that life is a school and you are
here to learn. Problems are simply part of the
curriculum that appear and fade away like
algebra class but the lessons you learn
will last a lifetime.
16. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a
prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out
charge card.
17. Smile and laugh more. It will keep the
energy vampires away.
18. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating
anyone.
20. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one
else does.
21. You don't have to win every argument. Agree
to disagree.
22. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil
the present.
23. Don't compare your life to others. You have
no idea what their journey is all about.
24. No one is in charge of your happiness except
you.
25. Frame every so-called disaster with these
words: In five years, will this matter?
26. Forgive everyone for everything.
27. What other people think of you is none of
your business.
28. God heals everything, not necessarily the
way you would like and there will be scars.
29. However good or bad a situation is, it will
change.
30. Your job won't take care of you when you are
sick. Your friends will stay in touch.
31. Get rid of anything that isn't useful,
beautiful or joyful.
32. Envy is a waste of time. You already have
all you need.
33. The best is yet to come.
34. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up,
and show up.
35. Do the right thing!
36. Call your family often.
37. Each night before you go to bed, complete
the following statements: I am thankful for __________.
Today I accomplished _________.
38. Remember that you are too blessed to be
stressed.
39. Enjoy the ride. Remember that this is not
Disney World and you certainly don't want a fast pass. Make the most of it and enjoy the ride.
