Devote energy to yourself and those you love. Only speak nicely of others, and if you can’t, keep quiet. Avoid reality television shows that showcase the worst of human nature. Do the same on social media. Allocate more time to learning about people who are doing or have done something good for the world. Avoid superficialities in thought and action. Remain aware of your true needs. This is more likely to lead to contentment. Be charitable. Go on walks in nature. Most problems can be sorted out on a walk. Routinely break the cycle of chaos, of multitasking, of sensory overload and fragmentation by allocating time each week to simply be still. Sit on a rock, or in the sand, or at the base of a tree, and allow your mind to rest. Reconnect with the energy of the universe. Make yourself a recipient of nature’s boundless endowment.
