Steps. 1  1. Smile. Smiling makes people feel good about themselves and makes your workplace, school or home a more positive environment. 2  2. Help in little ways.

Keep eating your usual meat dishes, but replace the meat with beans. For example, if you enjoy a bowl of chili for dinner, remove the meat and add kidney beans. If the chili already has beans, add a second kind instead of the meat. For hamburgers, combine cooked beans, onions, garlic, eggs, bread crumbs and seasonings in a food processor.
Here are a few examples: 1  Make half of your plate fruits and vegetables. 2  Replace unrefined grains (white bread, pasta, white rice) with whole-grain options (whole wheat bread, brown rice, oatmeal). 3  Enjoy lean sources of protein, such as lean meats, seafood, beans and peas, soy, nuts, and seeds.
