All of which are more easily said than done. Instead, or rather prior to these, I find the admonition to "examine your life" to hold more potential for true change. In other words: "Reflect on your values; align your purposes with your principles; ensure that how you live your life holds deep meaning; be authentic to your core self." In my counseling, coaching, teaching for many years, I find that the customary "good advice" too often has minimal impact because persons too often are driven by shoulds, or habit, or false expectations. When people can figue out their "true self" then the rest can more easily fall into place. Those living a 24/7 hard-driven, constantly plugged-in, unhealthy life are doing so by choice, not because they have to. But if they slowed down to let their true self catch up to them, they might decide their choice may just have been superficially conceived.

The relaxation suggestions are really helpful, just thinking about them made me feel more relaxed. I think we all need this reminder from time to time! Great piece!
