Eight glasses per day. Sometimes a little more and occasionally a little less. But it is a super drug. Hydrates, cleanses, lowers blood sugar, gives energy and helps with blood pressure. Try it. It works.

Sketch Out Your Ideal Life
Grab a pen and some paper. Start jotting down some key elements of your ideal life. What does your ideal house look like? What is your ideal car or cars? Would you be married? Describe the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual attributes of this person.
Where does your income come from? Describe the number and types of holidays you would like to take each year.
Now go get a plan in place to start making all these things happen within three to five years from this moment.
Go on! Dare to live the life of your dreams!

Find Common Ground
If you have a difference of opinion, try to find some common ground. Do you agree on certain aspects of the topic? Are there periphery ideas that you see similarly?
You may disagree about football being the best sport in the world. However, you could agree sports is important for health reasons, that football is one of the top 10 most watched sports and that it is one of the lowest cost sports in its basic format – you only need a ball.
Walking away with a few agreed points is a real win, even if you still disagree with the original point. It humanises the other person and you will feel less animosity towards the other person. This way you can feel good about the person while disagreeing. This is much better than the name calling, the frustration and being disgruntled.

Solution Or Being Right?
Are you actually looking for a solution, or do you just want to be right? Is it a solution to your perception of the problem or are you trying to remain relevant and comfortable within your group?
When you want your view to “win”, you may want to feed your ego and comfort, not actively find the ideal solution.
Shouldn’t we all be trying to solve for the optimal solution?
Remove your bias and stay focused on winning for the optimal good.

Call Your Mum
It’s Mother’s Day in the UK. It might be the same where you are reading this. Even if it isn’t, call your Mum.

It Seemed Important…
In the here and now, many things seem important. And some of it is. But think ahead 5 years and think about how important it will seem after 1,700+ days have passed.
Good events and bad moments will get lost in the mix. Some will be remembered but most will disappear from sight.
Try to look at things like that. By this, I mean perspective. It’s rarely as bad as you think.

Help People Up, Don’t Tear People Down
Focusing on negative aspects and the 2% of people that cause harm rather than the 98% that are neutral, or lift people up, is crazy.
There is no need to tear people down, call them names, or become hostile. They may have a different life philosophy to you, see things a bit differently to you based on their experiences in life or have a different political preference, but that is ok.
Live and let live. They have come by their views just as you have come by yours. For all but a few radical outliers, we can still get along despite our different perceptions.
And it’s a lot easier to get along if people haven’t called you names, shunned you or left you in fear for your health.
You don’t have to become a cheerleader, but please be decent in your discussions.

Good News Should Be Savoured
Try to let the good news linger. Play around with it in your mind. Dance with it. Enjoy the crazy fun of it. Savour the flavour and how it makes you feel. Good news needs to be enjoyed and savoured for as long as humanly possible.
