How to Live a Better Life
Get regular fresh air. Sunshine is cheering, rain refreshing. Best of all, fresh air gets you out of the office. Most offices are unhealthy. Get out of your car and onto public transport. You will reduce noise, get finer and have more time to read, think and look. Don't travel long distances to work. Find a job near home. Move out of the city. Go home from work earlier. Long hours don't make you more efficient. If there’s too much work for you to do, say so. Learn to enjoy yourself. Relax, play sport or music, take up a hobby. Please yourself more make/find time to do it. Exercise regularly, eat sensibly, don't smoke or drink alcohol, cut down on caffeine drinks. Try water or herbal teas.
