or unattractive. If you have one of those slightly convex mirrors – no matter how slight – they can give your cheeks the chipmunk bulge or add inches to your arms and waist. Be sure to invest in a good quality mirror, and when you find one, install it in pride of place in your home so you can admire yourself each time you leave the house. Just be sure not to have it facing the front door, as doing so causes all the wealth and good energy that enters to exit right away. SECRET: Ask Lillian Too about her magic mirrors… she has quite a collection of these powerful implements.

PLAY THE RIGHT MUSIC Music has a huge effect on how you feel. Playing happy music puts you in a good mood, while playing
melancholic music, no matter how beautiful, can get you into a depressive state, particularly if you’re already headed in that direction. When you’re down, it’s almost a masochistic joy to play music that makes you cry, but be careful you don’t get caught in a downward spiral. Do choose your songs with this in mind and be selective about what you put into your iPod.

INSTALL ANGRY BIRDS Angry birds have developed a huge cult following, putting it right on the top of the list of most
downloaded iPhone apps and is enjoyed by players of all ages from age 5 all the way to those nearing the triple digits. It’s not so difficult that you take too long to complete each level, and it is challenging enough to use as a good sleep aid for 5 minutes relaxation before bedtime. Also great for those monotonous commute journeys some of us have to make, or to fill just about any waiting time. Unlike real anger which you should work at suppressing with the Red Dragon cure or the Ksitigarbha Fireball – this anger is a great stress reliever, letting you shoot robber pigs with rainbow-coloured birds. If you haven’t played it yet, what are you waiting for? SECRET: Brad Pitt is a fan. So is George Clooney!!

SNEAK IN SOME EXERCISE You don’t need to make a special trip to the gym to fit in exercise into your lifestyle. Try incorporating
exercise into your daily routine by pacing up and down the room while you talk on the phone, standing up instead of sitting down whenever you can, dancing in your seat while typing at the computer, or stretching your back, legs, arms and calf muscles. While making the effort to integrate this kind of exercise into your life may not make a huge difference taking off the pounds, it sure will elevate your spirits. Jogging, moving and shaking wakes up the cells in your body and is another trick to getting your metabolism and your mental health up.
