Sleep is cumulative; if you lose sleep one day, you feel it
the next. If you miss adequate sleep several days in a row,
you build up a ‘sleep deficit’, which impairs reaction time,
judgment, vision, information processing, short-term
memory, performance, motivation, vigilance and patience.
Fatigued people also experience more moodiness,
aggressive behaviors, burnout and more stress.
Going to bed, resting easy, well and deeply are a must for a
healthy lifestyle Make it a ‘must’.

regular schedule, hide you clock if it tortures you, jot
down all you worries and concerns, and be at peace!

11. The F.I.T.T+E Principle
Frequency- How often do you engage?
Intensity- How hard do you work?
Time- How much time do you commit?
Type- What is the activity?
Enjoyment- If you don’t enjoy then at some
level it really isn’t going to ever work!
YOU MUST FIND A FORMULA THAT
WORKS FOR YOU!

13. Volunteer
Help someone or an
organization for free at
least once a week.
You heart controls
more than just your
blood flow.

person to help
themselves is to help
another!
15. Find Your Compass
Define what is
true and
important to you
and move
forward each day
knowing that you
are going the
right direction.
16. How Can I do all of that?
“Never give up on dreams you cannot go a day
without thinking about”. Anonymous
“Do what you can with what you have where you
are.” T. Roosevelt -That is all you can do!
Conquer emotional pain! You cannot re experience
physical pain but you can emotional pain. Work with
your emotional pain internally or with someone else
until it doesn’t hurt anymore.
17. “Know when to hold’em Know when to fold’em.”
Kenny Rogers, the Gambler Some times you fight. Some times
you retreat to fight another day. Some days you win and all goes
well and sometimes it is the opposite. ‘Head on’ is not always
the best angle of attack, some times a juke and a spin move is
what you need?
Admit you are flawed and cannot do it all.
But don’t sell yourself short… You may be capable of a lot more
than you think. Have goals but make them realistic.
Have a vision of your efforts both short term and long
term.
If you know you are making headway and you have take steps
toward them, no matter how small… you will rest easier and be
more positive about what you are doing or have done.
18. Be aware that the best things in life are not always
things. Find comfort in things around you… Count your
blessings.
Be prepared for your mind and opinions to be
change. You need to know when you are as clearly
“wrong” as you are “right”.
Once the correct action is clear- take it. Ethical
people don’t have to think through each decision
because their compass guides them. Too eager to
please or acting without motive can prove to be the wrong
move.
See yourself from a distance. If you are good the world
will know it. Would you buy a car from a man who has to
call himself “Honest John”.
19. Relax. Participate in anything that give you TRUE clarity.
A golf swing is a natural motion not rigid and forced. A
runner is fastest then he or she is relaxed and loose, when
the “flow” takes over. Remember the chased butterfly will
always elude you but if you stand still and be a part of
nature it will lightly land on your shoulder.
Deal with your anger- Get angry once and see where you
end up, If an unpleasant response occurs but you keep
doing it, it is your own fault. Remember when you
punched the wall to release that anger and all you got was
another problem, a broken hand.
Work on weaknesses. They won’t be weaknesses once
you have improved them.
20. Keep a journal, talk to some one you can trust. Go to
confession or find some sort of spiritual release. Don’t
keep things inside. It will only fester and infect you in
other areas of your life.
“Do common things uncommonly well” -Modestly…
People will notice and you will reap reward without
knowing it. People really appreciate the smallest acts of
consideration.
Keep things simple, your philosophies, your opinions,
etc. As complicated as life can get, the real meanings are
simple. Make a list of what is important or the virtues
that you aspire to live by and do the best you can and be
happy with that. Your heart will tell you if your compass is
true.
