4. Be spontaneously helpful to others.
5. Cultivate optimism about all that you do.
6. Live as much as you can in the present moment, meaning be focus, not distracted in one million things at the same time.
7. Savor life’s joys: smile, be thankful, and love your spouse to death.

9. Develop strong coping skills in the face of challenges: focus on what’s within your control, be strong, and take healthy, positive action.
