- Sing Loudly. And Badly. Singing, no matter how tone deaf you may be, can shift moods and energy levels in less than 60 seconds. If you find yourself too judgmental of the sound of your voice, try humming instead.
- Get More Sleep – wherever you can, however you can. I’m willing to bet you need it.
- Just Say No. Most of us are overscheduled. Say no at least once more per week, even if you have the time to say yes.

- Have Some Berries. Seriously. They are amazing.
- Procrastinate Less – and instantly have less stress and a greater sense of accomplishment!
- Take a Multivitamin. Our food quality and food choices simply do not give us what we need. take one appropriate for your gender and stage of life.

- Associate With Those Who Inspire – spend a little more time with people who support, encourage, and inspire you. These are the people you want MORE of in your life.
- Own it – take responsibility for your part in your life. It isn’t about blame or shame, it’s about giving you the power to change the course of an unsatisfying situation. If you’ve “done wrong” in some way, owning that gives you the freedom and awareness to amend the situation and choose differently in the future.
- Eat Breakfast Daily – breakfast eaters weigh less, have lower cholesterol and blood pressure, more energy and better moods.
