24 TIPS FOR A BETTER LIFE - 2009

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 for today is: ________ '
4. Eat more foods that grow on 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 & walnuts.
6. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
7. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, 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 don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
13. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
14. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
15. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
16. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'
17 Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
18. What other people think of you is none of your business.
19. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch!!!
20. However good or bad a situation is -- it will change.
21. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: 'I am thankful for _____.' AND 'Today I accomplished______.'
22. Forgive everyone for everything.
23. GOD heals almost everything . . . and He can heal everything if it's in His plan. We just need to trust His bigger picture.
24. Remember that you are TOO blessed to be stressed.

What is it that strengthens your relationships
and what weakens them?

Here's what Pamela had to say about "Keys To Loving Relationships",

"I would like to commend you on your wonderful video series.
I can see some areas where I have an unhealthy relationship with my son.
Now, I know where to start to make things right with him.
Also, I can see the areas where I closed my friend D_____'s spirit towards me and if I ever get a chance to open it back up again, I will know how.
Thank You very much for a very insightful course.

PS Your family stories are so funny.. hehe" - Pamela
