So I have been learning some of this stuff in the last few weeks. Sleep, learning to maximise my natural routine, fuelling myself properly, getting exercise (and doing it through peaceful, outdoors means wherever possible). Thanks for reinforcing and articulating so wonderfully what I am slowly learning.<br /><br />(I write from bed, with a tea tray, having had chocolate for breakfast. I am having a mental health day.

The world can always use more people in good moods!<br /><br />#7 - look at a vista - echoes the fung shui principle for a secure home: the home should have something large & solid behind it (like a mountain or larger building), and an open, expansive vista in front. I suppose in ancient times, this formation may have been the most strategic one for guarding the castle and ensuring the good moods of those within.<br /><br />There's also quite a bit of current research on 'sense of place' that suggests a human preference for open vistas developed when early humans lived on the savannah and needed to see predators coming.Walking Barefoothttp://www.onebarefootbride.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536011140055575088.post-85759563876898850722010-06-06T14:08:19.228-07:002010-06-06T14:08:19.228-07:00Great list and illuminating reasons why those item...Great list and illuminating reasons why those items made it.

I've been reading and thinking a lot about living purposefully, and I think, one thing that is key to a sustained good mood (not giddiness or even happiness) is finishing things.
