    Wellm I think the best way how to be happy and healthy is just to be optimistic. I think optimism is most important thing and it is the key to happiness and healthiness.

    Its been said always that laughter is the best medicine. Its not just that, not only that you stay fit, you stay mentally balanced and give your best-to your family, to your employer and to your society.

    I guess am going to fail badly on this list, i fail to avoid stressful situations, always had been. I also found it quite difficult to avoid people that gives me stress, though i agree i tried quite enough, bunked classes, dropped exams, avoided teachers especially when the homework was not done…. oh well, am a happy collage drop out after all.

    On a serious note, i guess i take things too seriously. I can work on #16.

      Hey Uttoran,

      Sometimes we cannot avoid stressful situations, it is a part of living. But what matters most is how we handle the stressful situation.

      Yes, I use to be one to take things very seriously, now I don’t let too many things bother me. Especially since I have gotten older. I don’t know if age plays a role in this, but I really think it does.

      Take care and enjoy your weekend!

      Evelyn
