- Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
- Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Talk to God about what is going on in your life. Buy a lock if you have to!
- When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement: "My purpose is to......... today. I am thankful for.........."
- Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
- Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds, and walnuts.
- Try to make at least three people smile each day.
- Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
- Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.
- Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
- Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
- Don't take yourself too seriously.
- You are not so important that you have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
- Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
- Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
- No one is in charge of your happiness except you. No one can take it away; don't let them!
- Frame every so-called disaster with these words: "In five years, will this matter?"
- Forgive everyone for everything.
- What other people think of you is none of your business.
- God heals everything- but you have to ask Him.
- However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
- Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch!
- Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
- Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: "I am thankful for......... today I accomplished............"
- Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
- When you are feeling down, start listing your many blessings. You'll be smiling before you know it."
Does one of these speak to you?

I really like "Don't take yourself too seriously." My Father-in-law says you can't take life too serious because nobody ever gets out alive! But we've really tried to embrace fun this summer and we have had an amazing time and it's absolutely FLOWN by!! We are anxious to be moving on from England and weren't enjoying the present of the present... changed that, so glad!
Which one is your fave Alecia?
Pick one?? I could no sooner pick a favorite child! hahaha!
There are several that touched my heart! Number 1 because I am really convicted about walking! We live in a gorgeous area with woods all around us and I don't go out to enjoy it!
I loved Forgive everyone for everything, it is picture of God's forgiveness for us!
I also love the one where it says don't let anyone take away your happiness!! It is mine and I am doing myself a diservice if I let others take that from me. I guess that goes hand in hand with what people think of you is none of your business!
