Tips to live longer
From my Boss (Source: Unknown)
Adopt some of these tips and live longer
1.) Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate antidepressant.
2.) Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.
3.) Always pray and make time to exercise.
4.) Spend more time with people over the age of 70,and under the age of 7.
5.) Eat more foods that grow ON trees and plants, And eat less foods that are manufactured IN processing plants.
6.) Drink tea and plenty of water. Eat broccoli, almonds & walnuts.
7.) Try to make at least three people smile each day.
8.) Clear your clutter from your house, car, desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.
9.) Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead, invest your energy in the positive present moment.
10.) Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class ……. but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
11.) Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a layman, And dinner like a beggar.
12.) Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
13.) Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
14.) Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
15.) You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
16.) Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
17.) Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
18.) Ladies - Go on and burn those ’special’ scented candles, use the 600 thread count sheets,
the good china and wear fancy clothes now.
Stop waiting for a special occasion. E v e r y day is special.
19.) No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
20..) Frame every so-called disaster with these words: In five years, will this matter?
21.) Forgive everyone for everything.
22.) What other people think of you is none of your business.
23.) Time heals almost everything. Give time, time!
24.) However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
25.) Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch with them.
26.) Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
27.) Envy is a waste of time.
You already have all you need. God provides, remember?!
28.) The best is yet to come.
29.) No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
30.) Do the right thing without fussing about.
31.) Call your family, son or daughter more often.
32.) Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: ….I am thankful for __________…..And Today I accomplished _________, what ???? Say it again!!
33.) Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
34.) Enjoy the ride.
Remember that this is not Disney World and you certainly don’t want a fast ride.
You only have one ride through life, so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.
LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH…… LIFE IS A GIFT, that’s why it’s called THE PRESENT ..………………………………… UNWRAP IT!
Have a blessed day.

My tip to living longer would be….”watch CSI”. The more you see innocent people die, the more you appreciate every minute of your life.

Your greatest post ever, Mon. Hope you can make some more of this. While I think I am doing most of them, I am sure I am doing the # 7 every now and then and to a lot of people everyday.
In my work, I am meeting a lot of people (production operators and staff) and I do not leave a day without making them smile. I know how hard they work are and making them smile gives some relief.
By the way, I am hosting the 5th edition of Pinoy Parenting Blog Carnival and I hope you will join this time. The topic is about dreams what we want our children to be when they grow up. I am sure you can provide a good post about this.
Thanks.
