10 Ways to Have The
Best Day Ever
|

1. Be present.
Instead of allowing your mind to reside elsewhere, bring yourself back to now, in the moment, focused on where you are and who you are. You can't
change things that have already happened or that are going to happen BUT you do have enormous power in this very moment. Remain in the present
moment.
2. Do less.
Have a full schedule today? Cut it in half. You don't need to do everything your Blackberry says you have to.
3. Get one monumentally important thing done.
Ideally, this is a task that will have an enormous long-term impact. Could be deciding to - finally - get life insurance. Or starting a savings account for
your children's education. Doesn't have to be time-consuming, but it does have to be life-changing.
4. Contemplate your perfect life.
What would life be like if you had no restrictions? What makes you smile? What inspires you to do better? Figure out what makes you happiest, then
take steps toward making this dream life a reality. It's not as hard to be happy as you might think. In reality, your happiness should never be
postponed.
5. Clear out the clutter.
Even if it's just a little space - say a drawer or a shelf - decluttering an area of your life can have a wonderful effect on your mood. Clearing your desk is
a great way to start.
6. Take a hike.
Or walk. Fresh air will have a great effect on your day. Clear your head. Calm yourself during a busy time of your day. Say to yourself, at least once,
"How lucky I am to be alive!"
7. Focus on 3 projects.
Choose your three most important projects, and focus on them exclusively. Concentrate on completing them, to the exclusion of all other projects.
8. Crank up the radio.
Great music can make most of the bad stuff from today go away.
9. Call someone you love but haven't talked to in more than six months.
Few sounds are sweeter than the voice of a loved one you haven't heard from in a long time.
10. Watch the sunset.
Instead of sitting down and flipping channels, walk outside and look up. The setting of the sun - the enormity of the world we live in and the wonders
all around us - puts your whole day in perspective. Trite? Uh huh. But does it work? Double uh huh.
