10 Commandments for 2010

Take it easy. The world will not end if you don't meet certain deadlines.So, love and pamper yourself. Go for a manicure. If you have been waning to go for that cricket match for months, don't wait for your friends. Be there at the field. Only when you are happy can you make others happy.

Eating at the work station? Yes, we all are busy but 10 peaceful minutes of meal time will work wonders for you. And if you cannot do this, change your meal preference. Have dry stuff so that you will not soil your key board.

Delete your ex's number. May be you still like him/her, but if he/she is not responding, it means he/she has moved on. Consider this as a sign to find a new person for you as well. 2010 is also a good time to remove all those 'unwanted' people from your list. After all, 'unfriend' was the word of the year 2009.

Know your rights. Stand up for what you believe in. Join a cause as studies have shown that people who work for social causes live longer and are happier. The bottom line, though, is that you must enjoy what you do.

Experiment. As a Confucius, the great philosopher, said, "our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall". Making mistakes is not the problem, but not learning from them and moving on is. Visit new places, set off on an overnight trip with no change of cloths or just go for a drive in the middle of the night. Live your life.

Resolve not to allow others to dictate to us which flour to use and which soap to bathe with. How boring the world would be with all perfect machine-manufactured people. Learn to be different - that could be your USP.

Find out who owes you money. This is that time of the year when one should review one's financial position. Know your money. Organize your financial records. Learn to be money-wise and you know the results yourself.

That something exciting is about to happen is what your attitude towards life should be. That hot guy is waiting just round-the-corner, waiting to be discovered. Feel the butterflies in your tummy when you are about to get that special dress which you've got designed for you. Get excited and then watch what happens.

Unclutter. That's the buzzword. Take a day off to read and delete unread emails. Clean your wardrobe and give away the unwanted stuff. Organize your files and drawers so that you don't have to waste time looking for things.

Remember you are smarter than you think you are. Believe in the power of positive thinking. Learn to love yourself and focus on your assets.
