1.  Draw a line down the middle of a piece of paper.  At the top, place a plus sign on the left side, a minus sign on the right.  List activities that energize you on the left and those that suck your energy on the right.  If you can’t delete the energy-sucking items from your life, delegate them.

2.   Create an untouchable rounding account.  For every check you receive, deposit everything except the first digit of the check into the fund.  If the check is $3,267.45, put everything except $3,000 into your rounding fund, then watch your savings grow!

3.   While brushing your teeth each morning, reflect upon 3 things you are thankful for, and why.  If your gratitude involves a person, make sure they to let them know.

4.  Identify something (or someone) that really pisses you off or frustrates you, then let it go!   Forgiveness costs you nothing, but the return on investment is enormous.  You will never be free if you become a slave to your emotions.

5.   You already know about the benefits of a healthy diet and exercise.  If you know it but you don’t do it, what is really going on?  Firstly, don’t beat yourself up.  Most people are unable to maintain the HABIT of healthy living.  If you are one of those people, start by identifying the TRUE CAUSE.   Ask yourself what you really gain by breaking this commitment.  This may take some soul searching and you might need to enlist a friend to help, but if you identify and address the root cause in order to change the habit, the reward will be well worth the effort.

Please share at least one short TIP that you have found to be effective for you.

Best wishes for a healthy, happy, prosperous, magnificent 2017!
