balance

In 2010, think of each day as a gift. When you open your gift each morning, know that you have exactly enough time to complete everything you want and need to do.Ingredients:
  • laughter
  • work that you love doing
  • friends
  • family
  • your passion
  • gratitude
Directions:First, carve out some time for yourself. You should have at least an hour a day to do the one thing in life that makes you tick. Second, save some time for the friends and family members who you truly love. Don't waste time with people you don't enjoy. Your social life should be filled with people who truly "get" you. Third, take your doctor's advice about laughter. It truly is the best medicine. Think about what makes you giggle like a child. Is it funny movies, YouTube videos, or talking to your best friend on the phone? Make sure to have one good belly laugh each day. Next, only work as much as you need to. When you are at work, make sure it is work you enjoy. If you don't enjoy your work, your day will seem long and tiresome. Last but not least, at the end of each day, take a moment to be grateful for your balanced life.Here is another sample for you: Expector's Recipe for a Healthy 2010
