* Before trying to tackle any of the complex demands of daily life, it is vital we start with full energy levels. Feelings of tiredness and hunger can make many problems seem worse."
* Listen to your body and use your breathing. Take time each day to pay attention to your body and what it is telling you. Try to recognise when your body and mind are stressed.
* Happiness happens without money. A person’s happiness is not related to their financial wealth. !
* Laugh and remember the laughs. Even forced laughter in a laboratory setting can bring about a positive mood.
* Try to find something to be grateful for. Taking time to be thankful and to say thanks to other people improves your mood.
* Get active. While physical activity (that suits you and your level of ability) is good for your body, exercise is good for the mind too. Regular exercise gives you energy, improves mood and relieves stress, anxiety and depression. !
* Do what you love. Getting good at something doesn’t often come easy and people who become excellent at something aren’t necessarily "gifted" at a young age. Expert performers such as soccer players, piano players, neurosurgeons and tennis players are nearly always made, not born.
* See fun as a priority not an indulgence. Make leisure time a priority. Do things for no other reason than that it feels good to do them. Go to a funny movie, take a walk on the beach, listen to music, read a good book, or talk to a friend.
