Everybody dreams of chucking their lives and moving to the beach. They enter into the "if only" zone. If only I could do this, or achieve that, or be this, or do that, then I could move to the beach. Truth of the matter is, the rules for how to live on the beach aren't that much different than living any place else.

Here are my 10 tips for living a beach life, even if you don't live on the beach.

1. Try something new.

2. Stay away from things (or people) you know are going to hurt you!

3. Be curious.

4. You can be a part of the crowd but retain your individuality.

5. Remember the things your mother taught you (or should have!)

6. Even small things matter. Remember to be kind. Share. Hold a door open for somebody. Smile.

7. Pay attention to the red flags. They’re there for a reason.

8. Never stay longer than you should. If it doesn’t feel right, get out.
9. One step at a time. That’s all it takes. One step at a time.
10. Follow your own path and eventually you’ll discover that everyday is a day at the beach.
