Physically
Get sufficient exercise. Regular push ups,
sit-ups, crunches, jogging or walking are examples. Unless you are disabled in
which case you can learn a modified exercise regimen.
Get sufficient rest. About eight hours of sleep helps the body
repair itself. You may personally need more or less, as sleep requirements vary
between people.
Eat healthier. Look online and find the food pyramid, then
try balancing your caloric intake with your exercise. There are several
competing food pyramids, so pick one or two because following all of them would
be too hard.
Find time to relax. Just lie down and think about what you did
before you started relaxing. Think positive thoughts or take up a relaxing
hobby like sitting or sleeping.
Pick a hobby that you enjoy. Hobbies can counter daily stress.
Unless the hobby is stressful, like base-jumping or self-mutilation. You could
try collecting model trains or postage stamps.
Mentally
Plan out your day, and set goals. But don't stress out if you don't accomplish
everything just the way you planned. Remain flexible and try different
approaches to your goals. Remember, sometimes life happens, and you may not
have time for everything. Just be productive in the time you have.
Write but keep it positive. No negative thoughts. If you have negative
thoughts, do not write them down. Find someone you can vent negative thoughts
to -- pretending to be happy all the time will do no good for you in the long
run.
Find out and develop your talents. Go out and do activities to find what you
like and then pursue the one or two that strike your fancy. If you do three of
them that will be too stressful.
Keep a diary or journal. This would be a good place to write things.
But remember, no negative thoughts.
Read. Try classics such as Shakespeare,
Jane Austen, Montaigne, Proust, or Tolstoy. If you are not fond of those, try
the newspaper, a fantasy novel, bibliography, or mystery. There's something for
everyone- check out your local library to test the waters.
Try to set goals that are reasonable
to achieve. Unreasonable
goals are harder and will probably just lead to disappointment.
Pray effectively or meditate and learn
different types of asana, such as:
the lotus, the corpse, the tree, downward dog, the snake, etc.
Communicate with nature. Go outside, hike, go camping, or have fishing
trip. You may find yourself doing most of the talking.
If you are religious, study the Bible, Qu'ran, Gita, Ramayana,
Guru Grant Sahib any Psalms, etc. Learn about Heaven and Jesus Christ,
Muhammad, Buddha, etc.
Social/Emotional
Do a good deed for other people.
Cooperate with other people that you
meet.
Listen to other people. There is difference between just hearing the
words and actually paying attention and listening to them.
Synergize mutually advantageous compatibility
of elements, resources or efforts.
Get a good education. To get a good self-supporting job, master the
skills necessary for your advancement. That way you will not be dependent upon
anyone else.
The job has to be the one you love.
"Love it or leave it."
Money is not that important. Happiness is the most important thing.
Remember, people on Forbes 100 are generally no happier than the average
person.
