3. Implement the macrobiotic diet into your daily life. Add whole grains, eliminate processed foods, cut back on refined sugars and purchase local produce.

4. Establish good habits that lead to positive attitudes. Exercise regularly, Chew slowly. Reflect on life. Express daily gratitude. Creating new things. Reading inspirational literature.

5. Check to see that the yin/yang in your life is balanced. Increase yin foods (plant-based) when using too much yang (animal-based) to achieve balance. Positive attitudes can be achieved when the yin/yang is balanced.
