Get enough exercise and sleep: Sounds trivial, but it's not. You may have the urge to work 24/7, to skip the gym and to stay up late to get a few more things done. That's short-sighted. Exercise and sleep are critical to having the physical and mental energy necessary to meet a challenge.
Gretchen Rubin
I can DO ANYTHING I want, but I can't DO EVERYTHING I want.
Gretchen Rubin

Gretchen Rubin
If you want to feel safe, healthy, and hopeful, try to act as if you did feel that way. Fake it 'till you feel it. maybe start with health -- try to walk energetically, speak energetically, do physical things.
Gretchen Rubin
What I found is, really, you always have to begin by nailing what is true about you, because something that works very well for someone else might not work for you at all.
Gretchen Rubin
I am living my real life, this is it. Now is now, and if I waited to be happier, waited to have fun, waited to do the things that I know I ought to do, I might never get the chance.
Gretchen Rubin
Act the way that you want to feel.
Gretchen Rubin
We must exercise ourselves in the things which bring happiness, since, if that be present, we have everything, and, if that be absent, all our actions are directed toward attaining it.
Gretchen Rubin
One of the things that you see ancient philosophers and contemporary scientists agree on is that strong relationships are a key to happiness, maybe the key to happiness. People who have more strong relationships in their lives just feel happier.
Gretchen Rubin
Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Lower the bar. Actually spending ten minutes clearing off one shelf is better than fantasizing about spending a weekend cleaning out the basement.
Gretchen Rubin
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
Gretchen Rubin
It's about living in the moment and appreciating the smallest things. Surrounding yourself with the things that inspire you and letting go of the obsessions that want to take over your mind. It is a daily struggle sometimes and hard work but happiness begins with your own attitude and how you look at the world.
