13 Personal Commandments

Inspired by Gretchen Rubin's twelve personal commandments for personal happiness, I decided to make a list of my own.

1. Be Marisa.
2. Relax.
3. You're worth it.
4. Laugh.
5. Be at peace with what is.
6. Stop worrying.
7. The glass is half-full...or better yet, overflowing.
8. Don't criticize or harangue yourself.
9. Put away all to-do lists from time to time.
10. Let go, have fun.
11. You are already complete.
12. Let yourself be where you are; trust in yourself to overcome obstacles.
13. Be like Tiger.

Tiger is my beloved kitty, who eats a lot and spends most of his time walking around outside or basking in a pool of sunlight while napping on the couch. He's the epitome of Zen.
