40 steps for removing stress from your life

1. Walk for 10-30 minutes every day, while smiling.
2. Sit quietly for at least 10 minutes every day, in isolation if necessary.
3. Upon arising in the morning, one must immediately say “My goal today is….”
4. Listen to quality music every day. This is real nourishment for the soul.
5. Live with the 3 Es: Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy.(Easier said than done)
6. Play more games than last year.
7. Read more books than last year.
8. Look at the sky at least once a day, appreciating the majesty of
the world that surrounds us.
9. Dream more while awake.
10. Eat more foods that come from trees and plants. Eat less manufactured foods.
11. Eat berries and nuts. Drink green tea, plenty of water, and a
glass of wine each day; toast something beautiful in life and, if
possible, in the company of a loved one.
12. Try to make at least 3 people laugh every day. (this should be
everyone’s motto for life, food always tastes better in the company of
good friends)
13. Eliminate clutter in the home, the car, and the office. Let a new
energy enter your life.
14. Don’t spend your precious time immersed in rumors, things from the
past, negative thoughts or things beyond your control. It is better
to invest your energy in the positive present. (this is probably the
number one stress buster)
15. Life is a school, and we are here to learn. Problems are lessons
that come and go; what we learn from them will serve us for the rest
of our lives.
16. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a beggar.
17. Smile and laugh more often.
18. Do not let an opportunity pass to hug a friend.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating someone.
20. Don’t take yourself so seriously. Nobody else does.
21. It is not necessary to win every argument. One must accept that
the other person is not in agreement, and learn from his position.
22. Make peace with your past, so as not to ruin your present. (absolutely)
23. Don’t compare your life with others. You have no idea of the
highways they have travelled during their lives.
24. Nobody is responsible for your happiness, except yourself.
25. Remember well that we have no control over what happens to us, but
only what we do.
26. Learn something new every day.
27. What others think of us is not completely under our control.
28. Appreciate your body, and its marvels.
29. Whether the situation is good or bad, it will change. (if you keep
this in mind you will always be able to be happy in all situations)
30. Work will not take care of us when we are sick. Our friends will.
Stay in contact with them.
31. Reject everything that is not useful, amusing, or beautiful.
32. Don’t lose time. We already have all the things we need.
33. The best is yet to come. (this is always handy to remember if you
are having a bad day)
34. Nothing is as important as sitting, standing, getting dressed, and
helping others.
35. Have fantastic love, always in harmony with the other person.
36. Phone your family regularly, and tell them “Hi, I was thinking of you”.
37. Each day, before going to sleep, say: I am thankful for
_______________. Today, I succeeded in _____________________.
38. Remember that we have too much that is good to be stressed.
39. Enjoy the voyage. You only get one shot at this thing called
life. (no matter where your journey takes you, don’t forget to take in
the view along the way)
40. Life is beautiful. You must appreciate it as much as possible.
