Sticking to your routine as much as possible and remember to look after your health             (e.g. avoid eating any ‘junk’foods, sweets or drink too much alcohol and making sure              you eat healthy foods, get enough exercise, rest and sleep).           •  Exercise  - aerobic                              - weights                              - stretching           •  Diet -   regular moderate meals with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, some                         protein (legumes, fish, lean meat), small amounts of good fats (nuts, seeds, olive oil)           •  Relaxing and doing something joyous and fun each day to nurture your soul           •  Enough restful, restorative sleep       4. Focusing on the positives - whether you're having to spend time with people or on things           you'd prefer not to spend your time on or you are fully enjoying what you are involved with           right now, try to think of all the good things in your life and focus on what you have, rather             than on what you don't have. It is a much more powerful space to be in, from which to make           any desired changes.      5. Have fun! Keeping each of the previous points in mind, allow yourself to be open and fully          enjoying each moment, making the most of whatever opportunities come your way.                                                 "The miracle is not to walk on water.
