REAL 2008 Resolutions/Considerations...

Here are some true, easy to keep resolutions/considerations for the new year. Pick one, two, or as many as you can to try and stay focused on yourself, and others throughout 2008.

ENJOY!!

1) Take time to walk. Take time to walk with a smile. There would be no need for all these anti-depressants if we took 20 mins/day to do so.

2) Meditate. In complete silence. 10 minutes/day

3) Get sleep. At least 7 hours/day

4) Wake with a goal. Ask yourself, "Today...my purpose is (blank)"

5) Live with the 3 E's: Energy, Enthusiasm & Empathy

6) Watch more movies, play more games & read more books this year more than last

7) Prayer is not all bad. Who ever you pray to...make sure to do so. It will provide fuel for a busy life

8) Spend more of your time with elders....spend more of your time with children

9) Daydream more

10) Eat more plants...less food made in plants

11) Drink green tea. Drink plenty of water daily.

12) Make 3 people smile every day

13) Clear your physical space of clutter. Let new and flowing energy into your life

14) Don't waste time on gossip, past problems, negative thoughts...and more things out of your control. We can only control things that are in front of us.

15) Life is similar to school. Learn new things. Problems are simply exams or tests that come and go, just like those from Algebra or Physics

16) Smile and laugh more

17) Life isn't always fair...but it is still pretty damn good.

18) Hate less. Hate is one of the most wasteful emotions

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

20) Arguements are made to win and lose. Agree to disagree

21) Make peace with your past. It interferes too much with your present

22) Compare your life less with others. Our lives journey's are just too different

23) Use the good china, burn the "decorative" candles...today. Everyday is a special occassion

24) No one controls your happiness, other than yourself

25) Consider each "disaster" with this question, "In 5 yrs, will this matter"

26) Forgive more

27) Ignore what others think of you. One, you cannot control it. Two, it has no bearing on how you should continue to live

28) Allow more time to heal.

29) Remember that no matter how good or bad a situation is...it WILL change

30) Jobs and businesses do not care for you when you are sick. Friends and family do. Keep connected more

31) Rid yourself of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful

32) Remember, the best is yet to come

33) Do the right thing...as frequently as possible

34) Remember to enjoy the ride of life.
