I just got an e-mail on Directmatches (for those who don't know what it is - it's a sort of "myspace" for businesspeople) from a very nice lady. She sent me a list of tips for better life. Tip #40 says: Please forward this to everyone you care about. I promised her to post them to myLot, and now I'm going to keep my promise. Some of them are real gems. Which one is your favorite? 1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. 2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. 3. Buy a DVR/video tape and record your late night shows and get more sleep. 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. 6. Play more games and read more books than you did in 2007. 7. Make time to practice meditation and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives. 8. Spend 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 in plants. 11. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts. 12. Try to make at least three people smile each day. 13. Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new energy flow into your life. 14. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, OR 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 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 charge 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, will this matter?' 26. Forgive everyone for everything. 27. What other people think of you is none of your business. 28. Remember, God heals. 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. 32. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. 33. The best is yet to come. 34. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. 35. Do the right thing! 36. Call your family often. (Or email them!!!) 37. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for __________. 38. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed. 39. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride. 40. Please forward this to everyone you care about. I just did.
