I saw these posted by Gretchen Rubin over at the Happiness Project:

· Accept myself, but expect more of myself.

· Take myself less seriously—and take myself more seriously.

· Push myself to use my time efficiently, yet also make time to play, to wander, to read at whim, to fail.

· Strive to be emotionally self-sufficient so I can connect better with other people.

· Think about myself so I can forget myself.

· Remember that control and mastery are key elements of happiness; and so are novelty and challenge.

· Work can be play, and play can be work.
