• "Try to walk. If you are already on a program of aerobic exercise, do the walking in addition. The advantages are numerous. You do not have to learn how to do it. It does not require any equipment, except a conformable pair of shoes. You can do it anywhere: in cities, parks and even indoors in shopping malls if the weather is inclement. The chance of injuring yourself is small, in great contrast to running and competitive sports. You can walk outdoors and enjoy the beauty of nature. You can also walk with friends and enjoy the company."
• "Find out where your drinking water comes from, if you don't know, and what impurities it might contain. Stop drinking chlorinated water. If you don't already have a water-purification system for your home, get information on one. In the meantime, buy bottled water."
• "Buy some Japanese green tea and try it. If you drink coffee or black tea, try to substitute green tea for some or all of your usual beverages.

• "Visit a park or some other favorite place in nature. Spend as much time as you can there, doing nothing in particular, just feeling the energy of the place."
• "Try a on-day "news fast". Do not read, watch or listen to any news for a day and see how you feel.
• "Focus on breath observation for five minutes a day. Pay attention to your mental imagery and make a few notes on the kinds of images that have a strong emotional impact on you. Think about how you might adapt them for healing visualizations."
• "Make a list of friends and acquaintances in whose company you feel more alive, happier, more optimistic. Resolve to spend some time with one of them this week."

• "Listen to a piece of music that you find inspirational and uplifting. Music has a special power to influence consciousness…One of the highest purposes of music is to raise spiritual energy and get us more in touch with the higher self. If the musical key to your higher self is "Home on the Range" or the "Marine Hymn", go for it. As with food, one persons meat (or, better, salmon) is another's poison."
• "Visit an art museum, or view some works of art, sculpture, or architecture that you find beautiful and inspiring."
• "Think of some kind of service work that you can do this week, such as volunteering for a few hours at a hospital, or charitable organization, or helping someone you know who is disabled or shut-in - any activity in which you give some of your time and energy to helping others."
• "Reward yourself with especially beautiful flowers for completing this program. Why not also buy some flowers for someone else?"
