Top 20 Tips for Health & Happiness from Simon Borg-Olivier

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all doing well. These are indeed very challenging times for many people in the world. I recently asked you to share with me your most significant health challenges and I’m thankful for all the great answers people sent me.

On the basis of your feedback, here are my top suggestions on how to improve your health, happiness and longevity:

Here are some things I have found help most people:

breathe naturally from your belly
move more, & move more naturally
walk more often let your hips and shoulders move when you walk
breathe less & make your heartbeat less while moving more (that’s what fit people do)
smoothly move your spine, hips and shoulders every day to connect yourself and make your blood move (do it gently and lovingly)
move from your core and don’t lock your core
relax your abdomen more in everyday life
eat less processed foods
eat more fresh foods
eat less in general
make some quiet time for yourself each day to relax your body and mind as much as you can
laugh as many times a day as children do
look at everything like it is for the first time – because it is always the first time – nothing stays the same
be loving, kind and understanding with yourself and then share this with every soul (human and animal) that you encounter
do service to those around you
be generous with your time & efforts
respect & honour your parents (whether they are alive or not) and give them love where you can – they did their best for you based on their life experience
love your family, including all the ones not related by blood
choose to enjoy your life & help others enjoy their lives
work towards becoming more self-sufficient
