Tips for a Better Life

A long, long time ago... before I even had a blog I found this somewhere (unfortunately I don't remember where it was... sorry) I loved this list so much that I decided to print it and put it on my office wall. Well, since than I don't have a real office box anymore (not sad!!! :) and just found the list in my archives again. Get a cup of tea/coffee/whatever and read it! It's worth it I promise! :)

1. Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. 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. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives
8. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & 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 plenty of water
12. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
13. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip.
14. Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness
15. Don’t have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
16. 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.
17. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar
18. Smile and laugh more
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others.
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. Don’t compare your partner with others
24. No one is in charge of your happiness except you
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. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
29. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
30. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need
31. The best is yet to come
32. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up
33. Do the right thing!
34. Call your family often
35. Your inner most is always happy. So be happy!
36. Each day give something good to others
37. Don’t over do. Keep your limits 

Anything you'd like to add? :)

HAPPY TUESDAY!!

This is so fantastic! It's funny, #8 has been something I've been thinking about doing for the past few weeks...volunteering at a senior citizen home...i just think seniors have such incredible stories..sometimes when i see them out at the grocery store or coffee shop i just want to talk to them and see what their life has been like...amazing.

and number #10 is something i've been mkang a conscious effort to do more of.

what a great list!

Anna @ IHOD said...

Looks like you covered all the bases! What a fantastic list to remind yourself of daily. I have a priorities list that I use to keep myself on the right track and make sure I am living for those I love and doing the things I was made to do.

Thanks for sharing dear!

this is beautiful. a very refined version of the most important things in life that most people need a book to list out.
the only other thing i would add is to spend as much time with family as possible, because they are a part of you and are really the only people you can trust.

sincerely, M
