This is one of those lists I must have picked up many years ago and I would share its original author, but the sheet I have has no names on it so I’ll claim this going forward.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Take\u00a0 a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n
  2. Sit in silence for at least ten minutes each day.<\/li>\n
  3. Sleep for at least seven hours.<\/li>\n
  4. Live with the 3 E’s – Energy, Enthusiasm & Empathy.<\/li>\n
  5. Play more games.<\/li>\n
  6. Read more books than you did the previous 12 months.<\/li>\n
  7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.<\/li>\n
  8. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6<\/li>\n
  9. Dream more while you are awake.<\/li>\n
  10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants & eat less food that is manufactured in plants.<\/li>\n

  13. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip.<\/li>\n
  14. Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner of their mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.<\/li>\n
  15. Don’t have negative thoughts on thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.<\/li>\n
  16. Realise that life is like a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like an algebra class, but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.<\/li>\n
  17. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.<\/li>\n
  18. Smile and laugh more. \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n
  19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others.<\/li>\n
  20. Don’t take yourself seriously. No one else does.<\/li>\n
  21. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree<\/li>\n
  22. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the pesent.<\/li>\n
  23. Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about. Don’t compare your partner with others.<\/li>\n
  24. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.<\/li>\n
  25. Forgive everyone for everything.<\/li>\n
  26. What other people think of you is none of your business.<\/li>\n
  27. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.<\/li>\n
  28. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.<\/li>\n
  29. Get rid of anything that is not useful, beautiful or joyful.<\/li>\n
  30. The best is yet to come.<\/li>\n
  31. Envy is a waste of time, you already have all you need.<\/li>\n
  32. No matter how you feel. Get up, dress up and show up.<\/li>\n
  33. Do the right thing!<\/li>\n
  34. Call your family often.<\/li>\n
  35. Your inner most is always happy. So be happy.<\/li>\n
  36. Each day give something good to others.<\/li>\n
  37. Don’t over do. Keep your limits.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Hopefully you’ve read through the list and I wonder how many of these you are currently adopting in your own lives. Maybe take on board one of two more at a time and see how things change for you.<\/p>\n

    Personally, I have had this list for a good few years and I am still trying to get a number of them on board as they require a major direction change for my life and I am never sure if I want that sort of massive upheaval and am happy to continue in the same way, with some slight adjustments, for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n

    Finally there is a No 38 – Share this with someone you care about.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    To your success<\/p>\n
