Tips for a happier life...really needed this today!

Tips for a happier, healthier life!

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day & smile as you go. It’s the ultimate anti-depressant.
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
4.. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to __________ today.'
5. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy, and the 3 F’s Faith, Family, Friends
7. Make time for prayer. It provides us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
8. Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and 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 from plants.

12. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
13. Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk.
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.
17. Try & pay an honest compliment to someone you wouldn't normally.
18. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

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

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, will this matter?'
28. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
29. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
31. Envy is a waste of time.. You already have all you need.
32. The best is yet to come.
36. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for _____. Today I accomplished ______.
37. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
38. 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.
