How to Create Your Ideal Day in Work and Play. “Every new day is another chance to change your life” ~Unknown Take a moment to imagine it: your ideal day. At work or at play. Big events or routine tasks. Imagine how you’d feel as you yawn, stretch, and step out of bed. What your first action would be. What you’d eat, what you’d do, and how you’d spend your time. Just imagine. Picturing your ideal day is a common exercise that I use with my clients. Last week, while working my way through an e-course to help bring focus into my business and life, I found myself on the other end of that exercise: writing out my ideal day.
On my ideal day, I woke up well-rested. My tasks were spread throughout the day with plenty of space in between—an element missing from my current, “non-ideal” life—and there was time for creativity, reading, and “magical content creation.” The day would lead to a dinner created by my own hand from fresh, local ingredients, and it would also include plenty of sunshine, fresh air, and nature’s beauty. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 50 Ways to Show Gratitude for the People in Your Life. “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” –William Arthur Ward The holiday season generally brings us closer to people. Sometimes that closeness reminds us how much we love each other. Sometimes it reminds us that we drive each other crazy, as family often does. At the heart of it, Thanksgiving in particular calls us to see people with the deepest appreciation for the gifts they’ve given us. Others push us, stretch us, test us, and make us wonder if there’s anything to be grateful for at all.
There’s no denying certain relationships are more challenging than others, but through each we have an opportunity to grow and help others do the same. From the people who love you, to the people who challenge you, to the people who support you at work, here’s how to show your gratitude: Show Gratitude to People Who Love You 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I’ve ever written. When my odometer rolled over to 50, I updated the list. Here it is: Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.When in doubt, just take the next small step.Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.Pay off your credit cards every month.You don’t have to win every argument.
Agree to disagree.Cry with someone.
