Advice for the ones I love.......

1. Take a ten to thirty minute walk every day. While you walk, smile.
It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
2. Sit in silence for at least ten minutes each day.
3. Buy a DVR to tape your late night shows. Get more sleep as a
result.
4. When you wake in the morning, complete the following statement, 'My
purpose is to _______ today.'
5. Live with the three E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
6. Play more games and read more books than you did in 2008.
7. Make time to meditate and pray. This will provide daily fuel for your busy life.
8. Spend time with people over the age of seventy and under the age of six.
9. Dream more while you are awake.
10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants. Eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
11. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, Alaskan
salmon, broccoli, almonds and walnuts.
12. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
13. Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk and your mind.
Let new and flowing energy into your life.
14. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, issues of the past,
negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the POSITIVE present moment.
15. 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 .
16. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a
college kid with a maxed-out credit card.
17. Smile and laugh more. It will keep the NEGATIVE BLUES away.
18. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
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.
24. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
25. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years(or sometimes in even a month!), will this matter?'
26. Forgive everyone for everything.
27. What other people think of you is none of your business.
28. REMEMBER - GOD heals everything.
29. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
30. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends
will. Stay in touch.
31. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

want a fast pass. You have only one ride through life so make the most of it. Enjoy the ride!
