Good morning friends, sharing  a buffet spread for a meaningful life style - choice is always ours

3. Meditate /pray/ visualize positive things/do yoga for 30 minutes every day.

*Main course (pick any 4)*

2)  Outsource everything, which is not your core competence.
3)  Reduce your mobile time by 30 % (Mobile phones are the biggest time waster)
4) At least take one bold decision, which you were always scared to take. (No one want to die with regrets- do you?)
