Make Today a Great Day!


Many of us start our day by writing down our laundry list of tasks, myself included. Sometimes everything is spinning around in my head so I write a list to avoid forgetting anything. Writing a list is an effective method to clear your head then focus on one thing at a time. In addition, I suggest writing a different type of list.

Each morning write a list about how to make today a great day!


Take just a few minutes and think about ways to instill joy into your day. Write a list of simple things, which may or may not be part of your regular routine. Make a commitment to have a great day from the beginning. You are going to eat lunch anyway, commit to enjoying a delicious meal today. To having positive interactions with other people. Maybe plan ten minutes of silent meditation or to learn something new. Get creative with new ideas every morning.

After writing your list close your eyes and visualize or imagine the day unfolding. Mentally experience the feelings of contentment this day will being. Then open your eyes and go enjoy your great day!
