First I go fly a kite and read the list to stay in shape, This is what I do to keep my mind active. Should my mind get stuck, I return to the list.
- Write. I blog.
- Pray. If I can’t pray, I recite my mantra.
- Stretch. A big stretch does wonders to my body.
- Go out into the garden.
- Better yet, I do my gardening.
- Take my coffee and lunch breaks at work.
- Walk around the block during my break time.
- Share a smile even with strangers.
- Take a day to do what I love to do.
- It doesn’t matter. It’s a relief to say it doesn’t matter.
- Slow down. I give myself permission to slow down and catch my breath.
- Forgive myself. Forgive others.
- Sing in the shower. Can’t carry a tune? Who cares!
- I tell people I care.
- Let out my frustrations. I roll up a newspaper and give the table a good whack.
- I don’t feel guilty when I say no when I mean NO!
- Knit. I taught myself how to knit.
- A trip to Club Mind to dream. It’s free.
- Learn to cook a new dish. Google has plenty of recipe.

- Talk to myself. Answer myself. Out loud.
The last three are for you to add.
😊
35- Read a good book sitting on the throne ( my quiet time)
36- Watch babies and children . Simple things make them happy.
37- I like going through my telephone directory and see who I haven’t spoken to for a long time . Call them and arrange to visit with them.
The throne, of course! 🤗
Great list!
Thank you, David. What are your three exercises to stay fit?
Eat less. Walk in woods. Read.
Eat less, that I have to try. Thank you, David.
Try. And Do. Such a wide gap.
