1. Don't make a big deal out of anything. Sometimes it's hard to be chill, especially if something major happens (such as marriage, death, or birth, not haircuts.) Also, don't make a big deal out of other people's problems or news. If someone is having trouble with a little brother, try reflecting the person's mood with "That's cool," or "Well, It's not the end of the world," instead of spazzing. Always be there to offer support.
2 .Be very nonchalant about things, but still pay attention. Being nonchalant should not be confused with acting stoned.
3. You don't need a lot of friends to be chill, but the more the merrier!
4. Chill people like to, well, chill. Chilling is pretty much the same as hanging out, only when you're 'chilling,' your activities are usually much more relaxed. For instance, you wouldn't go skydiving when you're chilling. Also, try to invite chill people to chill with you because usually hyper people can ruin the chill mood, and then it's not chilling, is it?
5. Being chill means really not to care what other people think. If someone doesn't like your shoes, does it really matter? No. So just don't tell a person off for not liking the way you dress. Really, it only matters what you think of yourself.
6. Don't be afraid to act crazy every once in a while. Sometimes (especially if you're younger) you get a random outburst of hyperactivity. Don't try and restrain it for the sake of wanting to act chill. Chill people don't really care what people think, so that means you can act stupid sometimes. Don't force yourself to act in a way that feels unnatural. (i.e. being a cat, dog, or an inanimate object)
7. Chill people are also known to listen to good music, like "chill" music. This chill music usually includes, every song that "slaps"(songs that appeal greatly to you). If you were to view a chill person's iTunes for instance, you can usually discover an array of all genres of music.
8. Try your best to stay away from the everyday drama. It's not worth it, you need to just let people that are like that be like that. Every once in a while, somebody might be explaining some type of drama to you, give them some advice on how to resolve the drama. And give them more advice on how to prevent this drama from happening.
9. Don't criticize people, ever. It really represents a "non-chill" mood when you're trying to change a person from the way the are, to somebody you think they should be. Because all criticism is your opinion, and not everybody will agree, which causes drama. (Read section above)
10. Chill people listen to an array of music. But if you want to be guaranteed a chill mood throughout your day, try listening to reggae music. It really sets a chill mood. Every morning I listen to reggae artists and it gives me a chill mood all day. (artists like Dio, Black Sabbath, AC/DC and definitely NOT Blink 182). I also whip out my iPod and put some reggae on when something bad happens and I get angry or frustrated, it really restores the chill mood.
11. Make some friends! Chill people need to have a lot of friends so that you can be comfortable around anyone. If you go up to a group of people you don't know, you usually are kinda nervous and shy. But if you were friends with all of them, you could talk to them and be more calm and chill around them. They don't necessarily have to be best friends. Just friends. It is also good to have some best friends too though.
12. To summarize try to be stoic and nonchalant to whatever happens around you.

I noticed the shout-out to Blink 182 in #10. I also noticed that the author more or less repeated the same advice about seven or eight times and the advice just amounted to saying "be chill" in slightly different words.

definitely not 1. This is bad advice: "If someone is having trouble with a little brother, try reflecting the person's mood with "That's cool," or "Well, It's not the end of the world"
I'm going for 12.
I'm all for being chill. My whole life, I've been cultivating my own personal brand of Mild Style. These days, that primarily means taking lots of long naps on the sofa with my cat.
