6. Self-esteem: Appreciate yourself and love yourself as what you are. Accept your strengths and weaknesses. Be happy with yourself every day.
7. Meditate: Do Yoga or Tai Chi to relax and unwind. Know how to handle stress is essential for your well-being.
8. Go slow: When you have planned your day you work accordingly and there is no need to rush about. When you eat, eat slowly to chew each mouthful to savor the food. Admire nature by looking, observing, and appreciating the blooming flowers in your garden or the pot of greenery on your desk. Let your pet cat purr away on your lap.
9. Exercise: Daily physical exercise keeps your mind fresh and alert. You feel energetic and you are ready to act.

14. Keep your promises: Every day you do your best at work and deliver what you have committed. At home, you do what you have promised your children and you also do your daily task relating to your goals. When you go to bed you know it has been a great day.
15. Pamper yourself: It has been a hard day at work. It’s time to do your favorite things. Listen to classical music to delight your mind, have a cup of ice-cream, go for a massage, or just be alone doing nothing.
