"Tips For a Better Life"

The meaning of life is to give life meaning...

  • Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

  • Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.

  • Buy a DVR and tape your late night shows and get more sleep.

  • When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to __________ today.'

  • Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.

  • Play more games and read more books than you did in 2007.

  • Make time to practice meditation, yoga, tai chi, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.

  • Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.

  • Dream more while you are awake.

  • Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

  • Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts.

  • Try to make at least three people smile each day.

  • Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.

  • Smile and laugh more. It will keep the energy vampires away.

  • Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

  • Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

  • Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

  • You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

  • Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.

  • Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

  • No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

  • Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'

  • Forgive everyone for everything.

  • What other people think of you is none of your business.

  • GOD heals almost everything.

  • However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

  • Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

  • Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

  • Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

  • The best is yet to come.

  • No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

  • Do the right thing!

  • Call your family often. (Or email them to death!!!) Hey I'm thinking of ya!

  • Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for __________. Today I accomplished _________.

  • Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

  • Enjoy the ride. Remember this is not Disney World and you certainly don't want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.
