- Smile and laugh as often as possible. They are the ultimate anti-depressants and don’t cost a thing.
- Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
- Focus on the positive. Invest your energy on good thoughts, positive people and what vibrates at a high level of energy. (Avoid energy vampires.)
- Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and less manufactured food.
- Make time to do the things that bring you joy and fulfillment. (Coloring, writing, singing, dancing, drawing, scrap booking, painting, playing an instrument, etc…)
- Disconnect from all electronics and connect with nature 15 minutes a day.
- Take responsibility for your own happiness. It is not up to anyone else.
- Spend time with people under the age of 5 and over the age of 65.
- Drink plenty of water. Stay hydrated.
- Practice meditation and affirmations on a regular basis.
- Clear clutter from your home, your office and your car to make space for fresh new and flowing energy in your life.
- Let it go. Life is too short to hold onto resentments or waste time hating anyone. Forgive and release everything! You will feel lighter.
- Do at least one activity a day that gets your body moving. Take a walk. Go running. Hike. Hit the gym. Keep it moving.
- Be kind to yourself. (Would you treat others the same way you treat yourself?)
- Agree to disagree. You don’t have to win every argument.
- Stop comparing your life to other peoples’ lives. Comparison robs us of our joy.
- Prepare for your situation to change, good or bad. Change is constant.
- Stay in touch with your friends and family. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.
- Do the right thing for the right reasons. (Check your motives before taking action.)
- Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed. Be grateful instead of hateful.
- Be of Service. Give back. Volunteer. Help someone. It is beyond fulfilling.
