Make a small garden; even 3 flower pots will do. The work and satisfaction will take you outdoors, provoke your curiosity, and if all goes well, provide a meal to share.

Treat the first of every month like January 1 – an opportunity for a new beginning can be the most powerful tool in reaching and setting goals.

Play as often as possible with your family, the neighbor's kid, or your dog, it doesn't matter, but find ways to laugh and be playful more often.

Plan to go to bed. For me this means a cup of tea and a book or magazine. It may only last seven minutes, but it is an intentional wind down period that does not involve electronics and provides an end to the day.

Find Balance in your life’s priorities

List your priorities in order of most to least important. Follow them but also allow them to shift from time to time as needs truly dictate, but remember to go back to that original list.

Give yourself “you time” – for me, it’s during a run. I can detach from nearly everything and let my mind wander or focus only on my run. I don’t think about work, schedules, etc. I find it completely rejuvenating.
