I was speaking with a dear friend this morning, and she mentioned that she has just loved this from an earlier post of mine, so I'm rerunning this portion of it.

How does one stay fresh?
Be open to new ideas — don’t automatically be critical of or dismiss them.
Get out and about. Mingle with others who think differently than you do.
Get rid of things — and beliefs — that are no longer appropriate, don’t make you happy, or aren’t beautiful.
Learn something new everyday. If you’re not a reader, find someone who loves to share new ideas. Let them do the reading. Encourage them to share.
Make choices that lead to happiness.
Try to surround yourself with positive people. Be that positive person. Don’t be a joy-sucker.
Let by-gones be by-gones. Insofar as possible, forgive others, while being wise.
Be forward looking. Look to the future expecting good things.
Help someone.
Give a compliment.
Smile.
