Sure, point number 4 comes into play with your resistance training. Standard recommendations are to change things up every 12-16 weeks to avoid stagnation due to adaptation. It can mean changing to different exercises for the same body parts or, if you are doing broad compound movements (pull-ups, squats) it can be as simple as just changing grip or stance widths. If you have access to a qualified trainer that would be a good place for specific recommendations.
On point 11, this would apply to anything really, referring to variety. I take it on this particular list to be more about cardio. Just using different things instead of always doing the same thing. Something which I am very guilty of and am changing now. For instance, if you are alway slogging away on a treadmill, try a bike, or lap swimming. Maybe some outdoor hiking. Any change in activity can help avoid stagnation both physically and mentally. I like the triathlete example of run, bike, swim, as a well rounded approach to cardio.
