Get a dog.
Pet ownership can ward off depression, speed recovery from surgery and even reduce the amount of time you spend with doctors in the first place, according to a range of studies. Elderly dog owners are even likely to be slimmer than their dogless peers, according to a recent study at the John Hopkins Medical Institution. As a dog owner myself, I collaborate with Brynt aka White Prince. We play catch and throw. He catches the soft toy I throw in the air, chews on it and tears it apart. I pick it up and repair it by patching it with various fabrics, thus deconstructing the toy while I mend it.
Sleep right. Listen to New York Lullaby.
New York Lullaby is an audio track that records New York's ambient noise for those who haven't the opportunity but long to be in New York and for homesick
Knickerbockers far away from the Big Apple. New York Lullaby provides the comforting sound of sirens, horns and the hustle and buzzing of New York street life. These sounds emanate the vitality of the big city, provide companionship, and remind the listener of his own presence in the world.
Lift weights.
Lifting weights Increases muscle mass, speeds up metabolism, strengthens bones and boosts heart health. An easy way to accomplish that is to follow your better half on a shopping spree, and do some curls and sets while you wait. Who's got time for the gym?
