Taking Care of You
Drink plenty of water.
Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.
Eat more fruits and vegetables and eat less that is manufactured in
processing plants.
Avoid eating food that is handed to you through a window.
Live the 3 E's — Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy.
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 10-30 minute walk daily. And while you walk, smile.
Your Outlook
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 overdo. 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 you need.
Forget issues of the past. Don't remind others of their past mistakes.
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
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 part of the curriculum that appear and fade away but the lessons you
learn will last a lifetime.
Learn a new word every day.
Smile and laugh more.
You don't have to win every argument.
Your Relationships
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.
Your Life
The worst promise you can break is one made to yourself.
Do the right thing!
Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.
However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
The best is yet to come.
When you awake alive in the morning, thank God for it.
Your Innermost Self is always happy. Follow it.
No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
Notes:
Keep these rules handy and review them often. Follow them and small, almost
imperceptible, changes will accumulate into something big. Your life will
change.

Anybody on here over 50, totally alone with no friends or family like me? I lost everyone and I have no one and that is why I am reaching out to find some one to talk to. I am at a breaking point. I can’t take this anymore. I sat alone today like every other day, but today was worse, because it was thanksgiving. Why am I still alive? I am so alone. My physical health has been going downhill since I lost my last family members this past year. I call warmlines just to talk to someone and I end up crying because they ask me how they can help me and all I want is my life back. I want one real friend that I can call and talk to. I used to be ok, but now that I have no one left to talk to I am not ok anymore.
