A Recipe for 2011

I was recently given this recipe for the new year. It's floated around for a while and you may have seen it. If so, rededicate yourself to this list. If you haven't seen it, you'll be cahllenged by what this list has to offer.

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. Talk to God about what is going on in your life. Buy a lock if you have to.
3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, "My purpose is to _____________today and I am thankful for ________________.
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, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds and 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 present moment.
8. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a 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 are not so imporant that you have to win every arguement. Agree to disagree.
13. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.

That's enough for now. I'll finish the list later. For now concentrate on these.
