I recently met a Jain lady. She explained some things that she follows and I was so attracted.
All the principles say - live for the day. Do not hoard. Since we're all hoarding so much wealth, we're depriving others of their basic needs.
Control the senses (the tongue, especially). Restrict the amount of food you eat, the number of times you eat, eat sattvic food.
Learn to let go of bodily comforts. Be physically active. The body can have disease and we can still remain happy.
Practise ahimsa and honesty and truthfulness.
Learn to control the mind.If mind says "sleep for some more time" don't listen. Get up. Break old habits.
Don't hoard. Be generous. Help others in need.
I found many principles, easy to understand and meaningful.
