Being Your Best Self: 4 Easy Ways to Rock the Day
Check it out — It’s very easy to get caught up in the negativity of people around you, but if you can implement these four lil easy steps, you’ll find yourself having a great day. Bonus — it will rub off on those around you.
- Wake up with gratitude and a beautiful smile on your face. How many of us wake up and groan at the thought of the day ahead? Tomorrow try doing something a little different. Set your alarm five minutes earlier. Before you get out of bed think of five things you’re grateful for. As you wake up, luxuriate in the comfort, warmth and softness of your bed. Smile to your gorgeous self to set your inner mood.
- Treat your daily chores as opportunities. Escape the perceived drudgery and take advantage of the opportunity each one of these chores can give you. When you’re cleaning the house, play party music and dance as you go – you’ll get more exercise and have some fun while cleaning. When you’re grocery shopping, avoid rushing around and take the time to thank the checkout operator for her time – she likes to feel appreciated too.
- Use the STOP sign. Anytime you feel yourself getting upset, anxious, or angry as you go through your day, flash a bright red or purple stop sign in your head. Take that moment to take a deep breath, center yourself, and then carry on with your conversation.
- Be kind. This last step is so simple, yet so many people are just too busy to put it into place. Being nice is as easy as smiling at the cab driver or the bus driver, saying “hi” to the person you buy your tea from, or using the words “thank you.” That’s it!
None of these tips to be your best self and live your best life will cost you anything. It’s easier on your face if you smile; it’s easier to get through a day feel good about being you. It has been said that, “Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.” 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.
