Here are some ideas:
1.       Drink more of water.

8.       Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
9.       Sleep for 7 hours.
10.    Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile.
11.    Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
