Below are mantras (in all caps) that I try to live by. Below that are a mix of things to where if I embodied or did a mix of those things in a day, then I'd say it was a good day.
I write these often in my journal. The numbered list was a good sign if I was missing something in my life. For example, if I wrote these on a certain day and I was missing #7 and #11 (e.g. couldn't remember them, didn't write them down), then that was a sign to perhaps take a step back and have some fun and be spontaneous. It's not an exact science, but it was often true.
