At 11:00, I thought about watching a movie, but then reasoned “no, I have to work tomorrow, don’t want to be up that late.”
Guess what – it’s almost 12:30 now. The movie would be ending in about five minutes.
Damn.
Quit procrastinating
You’ll seldom experience regret for anything that you’ve done. It is what you haven’t done that will torment you. The message, therefore, is clear. Do it! Develop an appreciation for the present moment. Seize every second of your life and savor it. Value your present moments. Using them up in any self-defeating ways means you’ve lost them forever.
– Wayne Dyer American Psychotherapist, Author & Lecturer
So, you have no excuse NOT to have that morning quickie…
But I can’t take my own advice
- Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
- Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.
- Buy a Tivo (DVR), tape your late night shows and get more sleep.
- When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, “My purpose is to___________ today.”
- Live with the 3 E’s — Energy, Enthusiasm, Empathy.
- Watch more movies, play more games and read more books than you did in 2007.
- Make time to practice meditation, yoga, tai chi, qigong and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
- Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of Six.
- Dream more while you are awake.
- Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less foods that are manufactured in plants.
