Making This Day Special

Live with intention.
Walk to the edge.
Listen hard
Practice wellness.
Play with abandon.
Laugh.
Choose with no regret.
Continue to learn.
Appreciate your friends.
Do what you love.
Live as if this is all there is.”

Mary Anne Radmacher

Wow!! Wouldn’t life be beautiful if we could simply live this way?

Aren’t you waking up every morning and thinking today is going to be a special day? I am going to eat healthy, exercise, laugh at my silliness, appreciate people and enjoy every moment of the day? For most of us, the answer, “NO” is loud and clear.

Okay, guys let’s turn this perception around and see how we can bring a little happiness and sunshine into our lives.

Let’s take a step back and see what small changes we can make in our lives. Nothing too hard!

Thinking about how we can take a small step instead of move mountains, I thought of the following suggestions:

•Getting out of bed in the morning, take big steps to the bathroom while saying out loud in a quite voice, “Today is going to be a special day.”
•Look in the mirror and say in a quite voice, “You are so lucky.”
•Compliment someone who is having a hard day.
•Laugh at yourself.
•Take a small risk and tell someone about it. You can leave a comment on the Love Yourself – It Matters Blog. We love celebrating with you.

Taking one of these small steps will definitely make an impact on your life. Remember you are the driver of your bus and can make any small changes you desire. Go for it!!

Please let the Love Yourself – It Matters Community know about your brags and struggles, we are all in this together. Having each other as our support team enriches our lives and brings joy and happiness to each and everyone of us.

Make this day special!!
