Happy new year, everyone!

Someone named Anita Sharma sent this to me. I haven't given too much thought to my resolutions for this year, but i certainly agree with some things in Anita's list! I've decided I will bold the ones that I agree most with and say why if necessary. You might wanna think about some of these too and make your own list and thoughts.

Happy new year everyone, thanks for staying with me through the years. Here's to a fabulous new year, a new decade, a great new beginning for us all!

HANDBOOK 2010 Health: 1. Drink plenty of water. (ppl often ask me what I think my "beauty secret is, I think my mum's advice to drink lots of water may have paid off. Thanks Mum.) 2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar. 3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants. 4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy. (THIS will be top priority for me.) 5. Make time for prayer. 6. Play more games. 7. Read more books than you did in 2009. 8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. (i will at least TRY to.) 9. Sleep for 7 hours. 10. Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile. Personality: 11. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about. (in other words, be content with your life the way it is.) 12. Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment. (I've made this a specialty of mine, actually, learning from Yoga practices - deflect any negative energy from anyone who is vexing or likes to gossip or has nothing nice to say about himself or anyone else. I just stay AWAY from people like that. You should learn to do this too. Instead, I surround myself with positive friends - my favo sistahs Ida, Noren, Mal, Cat and Sylvia, who fill me with good energy always and keep me sane, keep me real! I love you guys.) 13. Don't over do. Keep your limits. 14. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does. (it's tough cos everyone expects a "star" to always be immaculate and perfect, and to never look anything less than heaven-sent, but I enjoy being silly and I want to feel free to look as ridiculous as I want to without bothering about being judged!) Besides, it's easier to get over, when something goes wrong, if you haven't been too uptight, you can just laugh it off and everyone else will too. 15. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip. (ditto) 16. Dream more while you are awake. (I'm the world's greatest dreamer and I wanna stay this way!!) 17. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. (ditto!) 18. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness. 19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others. 20. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present. 21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you. 22. 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. 23. Smile and laugh more. 24. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. Society: 25. Call your family often. (I have a small family, and I intend to keep everyone really close this year, especially.) 26. Each day give something good to others. 27. Forgive everyone for everything. 28. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6. 29. Try to make at least three people smile each day. (I can do that!) 30. What other people think of you is none of your business.(DITTO!) 31. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your family and friends will. Stay in touch. Life: 32. Do the right thing! 33. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful. 34. GOD heals everything. 35. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. 36. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. 37. The best is yet to come. (I'm really lookin' forward to 2010...) 38. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it. 39. Your Inner most is always happy. So, be happy. Last but not the least: 40. Please Forward this to everyone you care about .
