The first advice is not to take everything so seriously, life can sometimes be very hard and complicated, sometimes there are things that don't work no matter how much love and effort we put into them, that's why the best thing is not to stress so much, I have an aunt who works very hard in a company and was a perfectionist, she had to control everything and do as she said and one day all that stress led her to have sleeping problems with her partner because she spent all her time working and ended up giving him a stroke, in the end she had to delegate responsibilities, If she was not going to die of a heart attack, it is not necessary that all the weight is on our back, sometimes we can give part of that burden to people we trust.

I do not recommend eating only fruits and vegetables, as some vegans say, but a more balanced diet between carbohydrates vegetables proteins before I was very vicious to sugary drinks that hurt me a lot they made me gain weight very fast was what I consumed more in the day, but now I replace it with natural juices we must practice a sport that we like that motivates us to stay active and strong because unfortunately by the same ease we have to acquire things we have become very sedentary and lazy food is very rich, but the body not only needs food but also sport is very necessary to not atrophy our muscles because as the years go by it is easier to become obese we should reduce smoking and alcoholic drinks or take them from time to time at an event or party, but the most important thing is what we eat we all know that sugar and carbohydrates in excess are harmful to our health I think the best investment we can all make is to invest in ourselves in our food in a good gym in reading books that edify in meditating in being in contact with God and nature.

The last tip may seem a little crazy but it is what life has taught me. Do not be attached to anything or anyone if it is very nice to have a partner family and friends and children and with whom to share our time our tastes and activities we are happier when we are with them, but one day for one reason or another they will no longer be happy, life is like that if we do sports alone we go out to a restaurant to eat something we like to a party to the movies to see our favorite movie without the need to be with someone if we can do all those activities that we used to do with other people is only because we love and appreciate ourselves truly and we have strong emotional health or at least I see it that way when we learn to live alone is when we discover that true happiness is in us.
