12 ways to make everyday count
1. Each morning:
Set your intentions
Say what you’re grateful for
Say your prayers for others
Then start your day!
2. Meditate or deep breath – this forces you to take mini- breaks throughout your day giving your time to recharge and refuel. You only need to take 5 or 10 minutes to spark productivity and creativity.
3. Stop and take a look at all the beauty that surrounds you.
4. Do one thing at a time so you can truly be in the moment.
5. Add some “play time” to your day.
6. Eat healthy, pure, natural foods and drink lots of water – we are what we eat! The food we eat can affect us physically and emotionally.
7. Every problems/issue or negative situation is a Learnable, teachable moment. Always ask yourself: what can I learn from this situation.
8. Happiness is dependent on your perspective – how do you see today?
9. Focus on what you CAN control not what you can’t. When we stay focused on what we can’t control, we set ourselves up for failure. You will also waste a lot of time and energy, move forward by working on what you CAN and you will see results.
10. Show love throughout your day with a hug, a smile, a warm touch, etc. Its important to say I love you but the actions really tug at our hearts.
11. Your last few minutes before your bedtime are so important. Your mood before you go to bed will determine how you sleep and what mood you will wake-up in. End your night with positive thoughts. You can do this by ending with gratitude.
12. Remember only YOU are in charge of your happiness. Always take responsibility for your life.

- The Importance of Empathy July 17, 2017
I really love #7 – it reframes the idea of a “problem” and gives you the chance to turn it into an opportunity. To quote Napoleon Hill, “Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.” When I was a manager in the nonprofit world, I would often tell my staff to come to me with solutions not problems. It was something that a former boss of mine had instilled in me and I always felt empowered by it.
Wow! Someone else wrote the same thing that it reminded them of a quote of Napoleon Hill. I have heard of him but never read his books,but I think I should.
I’ve actually never read his books either, but have seen his quotes multiple times over the years. 🙂
