Here are my top 40 things I think you give us all HUGE benefits: [/size]

Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day
Buy a DVR and tape your late night shows so you can get more sleep each night
When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, “My purpose is to ___________today.”
Live with the three “E’s”: Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy
Play more games and read more books then you did last year
Make time to practice meditation and prayer. They are the things our souls need for fuel each day.
Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.
Dream more while you are awake
Eat more food that is grown on plants, and eat less food that is manufactured in plants
Drink green tea and plenty of water, eat fish, broccoli, almonds and walnuts
Try to make at least three people smile each day
Clear clutter from your house, office, car and let energy flow better
Do not waste energy on gossip, past issues, negative thoughts, or things you cannot control. Invest your energy in positive, life affirming moments and live in the present, here and now.
Eat breakfast like a King, lunch like a Prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card
Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class, but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
Smile and laugh more, it will keep negative thoughts and blues away
Learn that life is not fair, but it is still good
Life it 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
Make peace with your past, so it does not spoil the present and pack the garbage away so you don’t have extra unnecessary baggage
Do not compare your life to others, you have no idea what their journey is all about
No one is in charge of your happiness except you
Frame every “so called” disaster with these words, “will it really matter in 5 years?”
Forgive everyone for everything
Do not care what other people think of you, dance like no one is watching
Remember a higher power heals everything, and only gives us what we have the strength to deal with. Its our journeys destiny to find that strength to deal with things life puts in our path
However good or bad a situation, it will surely change
Your job will not take care of you when you are sick, your friends will. Stay in touch
Get rid of anything that is not useful, beautiful or joyful
Envy is a waste of time, you already have the things you need
The best is yet to come
No matter how you feel, GET UP, DRESS UP and SHOW UP
ALWAYS do the right thing
Call your family often, or email them to death!
Each night before bedtime, complete the following statements, “I am thankful for ___________. Today I accomplished _____________”.
Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed. (even in the simplest form, you are able to read this on a computer when many people in the world cannot afford a computer, or electricity!)
Remember this is not Disney World and you definitely do not want a “Fast Pass”. You only have one life, so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.
When feeling overwhelmed, stressed or depressed, look at something beautiful and take a deep breath and just think how beautiful is it to be alive.
