HANDBOOK 2010
(origin unknown)
HEALTH
-Drink plenty of water.
-Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
-Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants, and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
-Live with the 3 E's --- Energy. Enthusiasm. Empathy.
-Make time to pray.
-Play more games.
-Read more books than you did in 2009.
-Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
-Sleep for 7 hours.
-Take a 10 to 30 minute walk daily. And while you walk, smile!
PERSONALITY
-Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
-Don't have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead, invest your energy in the positive present moment.
-Don't over do it. Keep your limits.
-Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
-Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
-Dream more while you are awake.
-Envy is a waste of time. You already have all that you need.
-Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner of his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
-Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
-Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
-No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
-Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply a part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like the algebra class.
-Smile and laugh more.
-You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
SOCIETY
-Call your family often.
-Each day, give something good to others.
-Forgive everyone for everything.
-Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.
-Try to make at least three people smile each day.
-What other people think of you is none of your business.
-Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
LIFE
-Do the right thing!
-Get rid of anything that is not useful, beautiful or joyful.
-God heals everything.
-However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
-No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
-The best is yet to come.
-When you awake alive in the morning, thank God for it.
-Your innermost is always happy. So, be happy!
And finally,
ADVICE FROM BHE
-Hug the ones you love. Make peace with the ones you don't. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
