Here are a few things you can do to have a happier life:
- Pray
- Go to bed on time
- Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
- Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health
- Delegate tasks to capable others
- Simplify and unclutter your life
- Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many)
- Allow extra time to do things and to get to places
- Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together
- Take one day at a time
- Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety . If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it
- Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases
- Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc
- K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble
- Do something for the Kid in You everyday
- Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line
- Get enough rest
- Eat right
- Get organized so everything has its place
- Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life
- Write down thoughts and inspirations
- Every day, find time to be alone
- Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray..
- Make friends with Godly people
- Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand
- Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good 'Thank you Jesus'
- Laugh
- Laugh some more!
- Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all
- Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can)
- Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most)
- Sit on your ego
- Talk less; listen more
- Slow down
- Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe
- Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before.
