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

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
