Tips for a better life

This was just sent to me by a very dear friend, funny how these things are brought into your life just at the right time.

Tips for a better life
1. Take a 10-30 minute walk everyday. And while you walk smile

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day
3. Sleep for 7 hours
4. Live with the 3 E's: Energy, enthusiasm and empathy
5. Play more games
6. Read more books than you did the previous year
7. Drink plenty of water
8. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants
9. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar
10. Make time to practice meditation, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives
11. Dream more while you are awake
12. Smile and laugh more
13. Try to make at least three people smile each day
14. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip
15. Don't have negative thoughts about things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment
16. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6
17. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone
18. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does
19. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. This will ruin your present happiness
20. Realise 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
21. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree
22. Don't compare your life to others'. you have no idea what their journey is all about
23. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present
24. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
25. Forgive everyone for everything
26. What other people think of you is none of your business
27. However good or bad a situation is, it will change
28. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
29. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need
30. The best is yet to come
31. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up
32. Don't over do. Keep your limits
33. Your inner most is always happy. So be happy
34. Do the right thing
35. Call your family often
36. Each day give something good to others

Thanks Cally for sharing this
Till next time
