30 things to start doing for yourself

I came across "30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself" by March Chernoff as re-posted on {live}buzz.  Some I had already heard before. Good to hear them again all the same. 

But it suddenly hit me: stop, stop, stop. 
It does sound a bit negative, doesn't it?

It reminds me of a quote from "Community", Season 1, Episode 3:
Only when we stop stopping our lives can we begin to start starting them. 

How about we tried turning Marc's "stops" into positives? 

Here is my attempt:

#1. Start spending time with the right people.
#2. Start facing from your problems. 
#3. Start telling the truth to yourself / being honest with yourself. 
#4. Start putting your own needs first. 
#5. Start being who you are. 
#6. Start letting go of the past. 
#7. Start being brave enough to make mistakes. 
#8. Start praising yourself from what you've learnt from your old mistakes. 
#9. Start finding happiness in things that money can not buy.  
#10. Start finding happiness within yourself. 
#11. Start doing something.  
#12. Start thinking you are ready. 
#13. Start getting involved in relationships for the right reasons. 
#14. Start accepting new relationships despite of old ones not having work. 
#15. Start competing against yourself rather than everybody else. 
#16. Start being happy for others. 
#17. Start praising yourself and feeling proud of yourself. 
#18. Start letting go the grudges you have been holding
#19. Start raising above those who want to bring you down to their level. 
#20. Start giving less explanations. 
#21. Start taking breaks from your usual routine. 
#22. Start appreciating the beauty of small moments. 
#23. Start accepting imperfection. 
#24. Start following the path of most resistance. 
#25. Start acting like everything is fine if it isn't. 
#26. Start taking responsibility for your troubles. 
#27. Start being only something to some people. 
#28. Start worrying less. 
#29. Start focusing on what you want to happen
#30. Start being grateful.

What do you think?
Do you put any of them in practice regularly? How?
Which one do you agree with the most?
Which one do you struggle with the most?
