Today lift the spirits of those who may need a bit of encouragement. Start today by telling someone “thank you” or sharing the words “I appreciate you.” You giving one kind word can make a huge difference in someone’s life. You don’t know what someone may be going through and how your kindness and thoughtfulness can impact their life. It’s a good habit to start, and it only takes a few seconds of your time that can turn into greater rewards than you would have ever imagined.
Do one thing that every day scares you. ~Eleanor Roosevelt
8 Tips to Feel Grateful, and Happy
- If you feel a bit overwhelmed, stop doing what’s not working. Ask yourself, how can I simplify what I am doing and make a change.
- If you want to accomplish more, relax. The more you press, the longer it’ll take to complete what you want to get done. Take one action step towards what you want to happen. Notice the difference in how much better you feel.
- Take some YOU time. Schedule the time on your calendar. Choose one thing today to do today that gives you happiness and do it. For example, go for a walk, do yoga, meditate or call a friend. What’s important is to do something for you.
- Change one habit that is not giving you the result you desire.
- Focus on wins you have, whether they are small or big. Write them down in a notebook or journal and keep them near you. Look at them often.
- Say kind words to yourself. Focus your thoughts on what you want and not on what you don’t want. (A powerful law of attraction principle. With practice, you get better each day.)
- Surround yourself with people who you trust and support you
- Have a good laugh with a friend today. Laughter is good for your soul.
