Happy Monday!
It’s a gorgeous day here in Central Ontario, and I’m hoping to get out for a walk this morning. I thought I was going to go earlier but I got to checking out all the new deals that flooded my inbox in the wee hours this morning, and before I knew it, it was after 9 a.m. and time to get the newsletter ready!
There are some really great fall- and Halloween-themed products out this morning, and of course, I’ve qualified them all for bonuses. (You know me… I love giving stuff away!)
Even more so today because I woke up in a great mood this morning! Shaun did end up coming home early enough for us to go golfing yesterday afternoon, and it was just the break I needed to fire up my creativity engine again.
Here’s what I have for you today, starting with a few ways to make sure you have an amazing day!
Today’s Read: 4 Tips for Making Today an Amazing One
It is so easy to get caught up in the negativity of people and situations around you, especially when that’s all that mainstream media wants to talk about. Me, I’m all about positivity and creating my own amazing day even when everything around me is falling apart.
Here are my tips for having an amazing day!
Tip #1 – Start the day with a smile and a little gratitude
Your amazing day starts the minute you wake up, so instead of grousing about the day ahead, put a smile on your face and think of what you can create today that will keep that smile in place. It’s definitely a habit that takes practice, because I used to be one of those people who always got up crabby in the mornings.
Now, I wake up in the mornings happy to be alive (believe me, after two heart attacks, waking up in the morning is not something I take for granted anymore) and the first thing I do is write in my gratitude journal.
Tip #2 – Take time to be nice to people
I can be just as snarky as the next person, but one of the ways I start my day is to do all my customer service work first. That means answering help tickets, delivering bonuses, replying to emails… that’s usually the first thing I do even before I start to write my newsletter.
Why?
Because helping others is a huge part of my business. And it puts a smile on my face to know that when I’m answering tickets or sending out bonuses that I’m helping someone else have a good day too.
And that’s just at work. My mother also used to tell me that it doesn’t cost anything to be nice to people, and the smile or the ‘thank you’ you give to someone else might just be the high point of their day.
Tip #3 – Turn chores into opportunities
Okay, even I’ll admit this one takes some work. But, if you’ve got chores that you really don’t like doing on your list for the day, then you have two choices – outsource them, or make the best of it and just get them done.
Some of the things you can do when you have chores that are less than exciting to get done:
- Put on some happy music and chair dance while you’re working (or if you have a standing desk, get up and move around).
- Use the time you spend sweeping floors, washing dishes, and doing other household chores as meditation time. Let your mind wander and see what ideas you can come up with.
- Use the “5-minute rule” – You know, the one where you can do anything for 5 minutes, and then give yourself a short break
Tip #4 – Take a deep breath
Sometimes despite your best efforts, your day starts off crappy and keeps going that way. It’s not your fault (unless it is), and sometimes all you can do is hit the reset button. Stop, take a deep breath and repeat my favorite affirmation – “I am at peace in this moment.” You would not believe how many times a day I use this to keep me going when I start to get stressed out about something.
None of these tips will cost you anything in terms of money or time. It’s easier on your face if you smile rather than frown; it’s easier to get through a day feeling contented and happy. And if you share your happy mood, just imagine what a wonderful gift that can be for those around you!
There’s a quote by Gerard Way that says “Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.” If you start your day with the intention that it’s going to be an amazing one, it will blossom just as you do. It’s all about the energy you spend and where you spend it. The bonus is that your smile will remind at least one person you come across in your day that they can take the time to smile too.
