Make today a brand new day!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Did you wake up this morning thinking that today is going to be more of the same old, same old? Going through the same motions, saying the same things, performing today's tasks on automatic pilot?
Well Good Morning! Today is a Brand New Day! Today when you say hello or Good Morning to someone, really hear yourself say it. Say it genuinely, you know, like you mean it. When you smile is it triggered because you're glad to see someone, because your intention is to brighten someone else's day or is it a triggered reflex to paste a smile on your face like you're sitting in a car waving to the crowds at a parade? Do you look at your habitual tasks for the day with a feeling of resignation? An "ok let's get this done so I can start on the next one, and the next one, and the next one....Ahhhhhh"

Just for today, approach everything and everyone like it's the first time. Smile because you are acknowledging someone you enjoy seeing or that you want to bring a smile to their day. Say Hello, or Good Morning or Good Afternoon and really mean it! Say it in such a way that other people look surprised and respond "Thank you!"
While you're at it say "Thank You" to as many people as possible today. Say "thank you" for little things, people that normally you would just take for granted, or things that you haven't appreciated before now.
Try to find one new thing that you haven't noticed before about your work area, your co-workers, where you have lunch, what you choose to eat, even your regular route home.
Treat this day like an adventure and see how your attitude, your feelings, and your results change the same old same old to the new and interesting!

Have an adventure Weekend!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Make this weekend an Adventure Weekend! Do something different.

Make snow angels and go for hot chocolate. Play a card game or a board game with your family or friends. Listen to some different music just to try it out. Go for a drive in the car and go down streets that you haven't been to before and check out the Holiday lights.

If you're doing your Holiday cards pack them up and take them to the bookstore and write them out while having a cappuccino in the cafe.
In the winter time we can feel a lethargy that comes from doing the same routine. So shake up the winter blahs and try something new, something different.
Go on an Adventure this weekend!
