Advice I've gotten--inspired by Theresa's post

Theresa, I agree with the "life is short" advice. Life is too short for lots of things: stale doughnuts, low fat cheese, and feeling ashamed of things that are fun or make you feel good.

 More advice I've gotten:

  •  Drive slow and take deep breaths. It's not worth raising your blood pressure over crazy people driving.
  • Life isn't fair. I hated this one as a kid, and I don't even know if it counts as advice, but it's completely true and makes things easier.
  • Don't wear undies under your pj's. Freedom!!
  • If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. If you do have something nice to say, don't second guess it. Always say it. 
  • Oil pulling: before you eat or drink anything in the morning, swish a teaspoon of coconut oil around in your mouth for 5 to 15 minutes. Spit, rinse, and brush your teeth. It feels amazing!
  • Stretch often. 
  • Don't stay silent when you see something that is wrong.
  • Meditate: sit in silence even for a minute or two. Close your eyes, notice your breath.
  • Always say hello when you enter a room. (Unless it's empty.)

Antonio's advice:

  • Don't wait to tell people that they mean something to you.
  • Try to learn as much as you can from all kinds of people.
  • Sundays are for coffee, newspapers, and poems.
  • Acknowledge people for their strengths. 
  • Listen.
