I need to work harder on a lot of this... Had an older friend sent it to me and I thought I would pass it on...

Have a great day everyone.



HANDBOOK 2011




Health:
1. Drink plenty of water.


2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.

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

4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy

5. Make time to pray.

6. Play more games

7. Read the bible more than you did in 2010 .

8.. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day

9. Sleep for 7 hours.

10. Take a 10-30 minutes’ walk daily. And while you walk, smile.




Personality:

11. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

12. Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control.. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.

13. Don't overdo. Keep your limits..

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

15. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.

16. Dream more while you are awake

17. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need..

18. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner or friends with His/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.

20. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.

21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

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

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

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




Life:


32. Do the right thing!

33. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

34. GOD heals everything.

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

36. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

37. The best is yet to come..

38. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it.

39. Your Inner most is always happy. So, be happy.

That's a pretty good list. Personally, on the Health side, I'd change #7 to:
7. Read the religious text of your religious affiliation (if applicable) more than you did in 2010.
and bump #9 up to 8 hours.
9. Sleep for 8 hours.
I'd throw something about hugs in there too. 8) :lol: :D

Being the un- religious, liberal and open minded guy I am I am very comfortable with these changes you suggest.
*yawn At least! 8 hours of sleep a day, be it in bed, on a deck chair or in your favourite hammock!

And support the hugs! Free hugs for everyone! [smilie=battingeyes.gif]

Phins up, Swiss Mike :P :lol:
