How to make your life easy

A few weeks back, I woke up, and it was a beautiful day, and we decided to go to the beach for the day.

Now if you live 3 blocks from the coast, it's a no-brainer: you get up and go.

But we live 200 miles away. And we didn't have a place to park, and we didn't have stuff to eat, and we didn't have reservations at the place where we ended up eating dinner. But we went and we had a good time.

Life can be like that. Life isn't nearly as complicated as we sometimes want to make it. And the secrets to looking good and living longer aren't that hard.

Do the easy stuff -- which is at least 95% -- and the rest will take care of itself. Get enough sleep (for you: I'll talk later on about how much sleep is enough), eat well, drink plenty of water, exercise, do some deep breathing every day, keep a good attitude, and laugh a lot.

There. That's what you have to do to look and feel years younger than you are. It's not all that hard. Don't complicate your life. Don't mess it up with a whole lot of scheming and worrying. Just do the easy stuff. Life takes care of the rest.
