Thanks for the tips friend..... some of them are really nice tips. most commonly i am following your 7th tip i.e. Yoga & meditation. Yoga is keeping me mentally as well as physically fit. It is best than other exercises.
I like these statements because they have positive background - my mood has rised after reading these tips! Thank you so much for sharing.
sounds good, but many of them i don't think i can finish, such as make at least three people smile, i don't have chance to contact with 3 people every day, even i do sometimes, i don't have the chance.
