I read a wonderful blog post not so long ago about ways to make the day better. After reading the many responses to this puzzling yet honest and real question, I couldn’t help but wonder for myself what my answer would be.
What idea, mantra, practice, affirmation or thought do I, would I, or have implemented for myself to make my day brighter?
I mean, if I want a hot bath after a long day I will have one; I often enjoy my $3.50 Skinny latte at the cafe up the road from me; Having a picnic outside with my daughter on a glorious day is sure to make it brighter. I may even read a good olde gossip, trashy magazine….
So here it is…. here is my answer
When the day is not so bright, that is ok. You don’t have to try and change the feeling, or change the thought, or ignore this very real thought. But stop, take a breath, and observe some of the most simplest of things in your yourself or whats around you. It may be the sound of the kettle boiling or the feeling of your breath travel from your lungs up and out through your mouth. Just take a minute, stop, observe and notice.
Maybe this is a mantra. I don’t know. But it works for me.
What is your mantra, your thought, your philosophy to make your day brighter?
