Do you have a goal of making each day of your life "a better day?"- that you don't have to wait for a promotion or for a Christmas season for you to call a day a "great day?"
Taking out those 'don't happen everyday" things (like the day you got married or the day you got promoted), let me give you 5 simple steps to a better day.
1. Laugh often. I can't imagine myself without a laughter on a day. I always find myself laughing at stuff - by watching comedy videos in Youtube or by talking to a friend about crazy stuff.
However, always be reminded to laugh at things , not to people.
According to study, laugh is a strong medicine for mind and body. It is a powerful antidote to stress, pain and conflict.
So don't be too hard on yourself. Find a way to laugh so you can make each day a better day everyday.
2. Take a walk. Go out of your house, take a walk and breathe the fresh outdoor air. Clear your mind. Calm yourself.
Say to yourself "How lucky I am to be alive and enjoy the things and people in this world"
It will definitely have a great effect on your day.
3. Give as many hugs as you can. A recent Canadian study shows that an affectionate cuddle is beneficial in bringing up positive emotions and improving our frame of mind.
A loving hug in the morning can keep you buoyant throughout the day.
So what are you waiting for? Start giving your hugs now.
4. Let go. Stop caring about everything. Simply let some things go. Let go and let God. Do your best for things that you can control and pray for things that are beyond your power.
5. Love more. Love yourself. Love your impatient partner. Love your naughty kid. Love your selfish sister. Love your noisy neighbors. Love the imperfect people around you.
Recently, I realized that the kinder I am to everyone, even if they don't reciprocate, the better day I have.
"Everyday is a good day to be alive, whether the sun's shining or not"
- Marty Robbins
