I get way too many emails from my mom!

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

• When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to __ today.'
• Live with the 3 E's - Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy
• Play more games and read more books than you did in 2007.
• Make time to practice meditation, yoga, tai chi, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
• Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.
• Dream more while you are awake.

• Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.
• 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 present moment.
• Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
• Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.

• Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
• Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
• Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
• You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

• No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
• Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'
• Forgive everyone for everything.
• What other people think of you is none of your business.
• However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
• Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch
• Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
• Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
• The best is yet to come.
• No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
• Call your family often. (Or email them to death!!!)
• Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for ____. Today I accomplished ___.
• Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
• Enjoy the ride. Remember this is not Disney World and you certainly don't want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.
