I came across this in some of my reading and thought I would share it.<\/p>\n
Taking Care of You<\/p>\n
Drink plenty of water.
\nEat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.
\nEat more fruits and vegetables and eat less that is manufactured in processing plants.
\nAvoid eating food that is handed to you through a window.
\nLive the 3 E’s – Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy.
\nPlay more games.
\nRead more books than you did in 2009.
\nSit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
\nSleep for 7 hours.
\nTake a 10-30 minute walk daily. And while you walk, smile.<\/p>\n
Your Outlook<\/p>\n
Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
\nDon’t have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
\nDon’t overdo. Keep your limits.
\nDon’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
\nDon’t waste your precious energy on gossip.
\nDream more while you are awake.
\nEnvy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
\nForget issues of the past. Don’t remind others of their past mistakes.
\nLife is too short to waste time hating anyone.
\nMake peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.
\nNo one is in charge of your happiness except you.
\nRealize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
\nLearn a new word every day.
\nSmile and laugh more.
\nYou don’t have to win every argument<\/p>\n
Your Relationships<\/p>\n
Call your family often.
\nEach day give something good to others.
\nForgive everyone for everything.
\nSpend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.
\nTry to make at least three people smile each day.
\nWhat other people think of you is none of your business.
\nYour job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.<\/p>\n
Your Life<\/p>\n
The worst promise you can break is one made to yourself.
\nDo the right thing!
\nGet rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
\nYou don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.
\nHowever good or bad a situation is, it will change.
\nThe best is yet to come.
\nWhen you awake alive in the morning, thank God for it.
\nYour Innermost Self is always happy. Follow it.
\nNo matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.<\/p>\n
Keep these rules handy and review them often. Follow them and small, almost imperceptible, changes will accumulate into something big. Your life will change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
