1. Live in the present. Anytime you are obsessing about the past or anticipating the future, ask yourself: What’s wrong with now? There are several things you can do to help you focus on the present. Try exercise or join a yoga class. Listen to some music. Attend your son’s basketball game. Cook a special meal for your spouse even though it’s the middle of the week. Stop counting the days left in the work week. Sing in the shower.
2. Take time to be silent. Some people have 90,000 thoughts a day. Such turbulent internal dialogue causes both unhappiness and fatigue. Sit down, close your eyes, and catch your breath. Let your mind be quiet for a few minutes.
3. Let your anger go. Studies show that holding on to grievances can be a risk factor in cardiovascular disease. Forgive and forget.
4. Listen to your body. Body wisdom expresses itself through signals of comfort and discomfort. Your body often recognizes a problem before the mind does. Take steps to correct the problem before it becomes insurmountable.
5. Don’t contaminate your body with toxins. What you take in affects your happiness. Eat a healthy diet. Add more fruits and vegetables to your diet, and avoid toxic drinks. Contrary to popular belief, alcohol is a depressant, not a stimulant.
6. Maintain your perspective. Before you confront someone, ask yourself: Is it worth it? Of someone annoys you, imagine our immense universe in all its splendor. Your coworker’s snide remarks are insignificant when compared to that.
