Never too late to make resolutions, so here are a few to think about.
   
Go to bed on time.
Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
Simplify and un-clutter your life.
Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
Take one day at a time.
Separate worries from concerns. If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
Live within your budget.
Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
Do something for the kid in you every day.
Get enough rest.
Eat right.
Get organized so everything has its place.
Write down thoughts and inspirations.
Pray.
Every day, find time to be alone.
Make friends with Godly people.
Laugh. Laugh some more!
Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
Sit on your ego.
Talk less; listen more.
Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
Every night before bed, think of at least one thing you're grateful for.

"I think I'd throw up.."
