This recipe feeds you first and then as many people as you want. Use a lot of the following! The more you have of each ingredient, the better the recipe turns out. Nobody cares which ingredient you start with. Just start.
Mix:
1. Acceptance of yourself. Be sure to use the organic variety- the kind of acceptance that comes without comparisons between you and anyone else.
2. Understanding what you can control and what you can't.
3. Gratitude, the best sweetener.
4. Good friends. Be one to get one.
5. Kindness- always in style.
6. Exercise- sports, dance, yoga, a walk, whatever. Move it.
7. Help someone. Be a peer mentor, visit an old person, volunteer at a kids camp, clean your local beach or park, work at a free kitchen, or...
8. Music! Make it yourself, download it, go to a concert, check out a flash mob, plug in your headphones, join the school choir, form a band.
9. Perspective. Will something that bothers you now really matter in five years? five months? five days?
10. Do something you enjoy. You can double up on this with the exercise or music ingredients or add your own fair.
