25 TIPS FOR A BETTER LIFE

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile.
It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day, Buy a lock if you have to.

3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement,
"My purpose is to __________ today."

4. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants, and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

5. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds, & walnuts.

6. Try to make at least three people smile each day.

7. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past,
negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive moment.

8. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a
college kid with maxed out charge card.

9. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

10. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

11. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

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

18. What other people think of you is none of your business.

19. GOD heals almost everything . . . and He can heal everything if it's in His plan.
We just need to trust His bigger picture.

20. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

21. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will.
Stay in touch!!!

"I am thankful for __________. Today I accomplished
_________."

Can I add something to number 1?

When taking that 30 minute walk, invite someone that you care about to walk with you and leave your cell phones at home - Jim and I walk together everyday, it's our time that no one else can intrude on and we spend the time checking in with how the other is doing and we talk about how to make our good relationship even better.
