Here are some rules to “follow” (you don’t have to necessary follow all the rules, but integrate them into your life) in order to have a successful and happy life. You can also make rules for yourself to follow as well.
Health:
1. Drink plenty of water.
2. Eat a healthy, balanced breakfast, followed by a healthy, well-proportioned lunch and dinner.
3. Eat more veggies and fruits instead of processed foods that contain artificial flavors and ingredients.
4. Exercise, exercise, exercise! Be sure to exercise at least 30-60 minutes every day. It doesn’t have to be rigorous; a fast-paced walk around the neighborhood a few times should suffice.
5. Sleep for at least 7-8 hours every night.
Personality:
6. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
7. Try not to have negative thoughts. Instead, invest your energy in the positive present moment.
8. Don’t always over exert yourself. Keep your limits.
9. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
10. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip.
11. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
12. Forget issues of the past. Harboring it will ruin your present happiness.
13. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
14. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
15. 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.
16. Smile and laugh more.
17. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
Society:
18. Try to often spend time with your loved ones.
19. Be gentle with to Earth. You don’t want to be selfish, and ruin it for future generations, do you?
20. Learn to forgive more.
21. Spend more time with people over the age of 65 & under the age of 6. You’ll thank yourself, and society will thank you.
22. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your family & friends will. Stay in touch with them.
23. Politeness and courtesy go a long way. Trust me.
Life:
24. Share your knowledge. Think of it as a way of achieving immortality 😀
25. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
26. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. Be humble.
27. If you mess up, it’s no one’s fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes… learn from them.
28. Be excited about living life. Don’t dwell on how “miserable” your life is. If something makes you unhappy, change it.
29. Share “I cans” with other people – make them feel like they can do anything too.
30. Have a positive attitude about everything. Have faith that things will work out for you if they are not right now.
