FIVE THINGS TO DO EVERY DAY

Life can get away from us. So setting some simple daily goals is a good idea.

1. Get a good night's sleep. Wake up and stretch. Greet the day with joy and say I want to do......... today! Say a little thank you prayer to God for having another day.

2. A good breakfast. Your coffee. Your tea. Your favourite beverage. Put some fuel in your body for energy. Take your vitamins. Take your medications.

3. Read. The paper. The Internet. A book. Do the Sudoku. Do the crossword. Read your bills. Learn a new word every day. If talented with another language, learn another word in that language. I keep a running list of new words not only in English but French, Spanish and Italian. Even on my facebook, I have friends that speak and write Italian and French. A good way to tease the brain and learn. No not fluent but keep plugging away at languages.

4. Get washed. Get dressed. Do your hair. If female, some make up. If male, shave or trim your beard. Do the nails. Wear pretty or handsome clothes that flatter your skin tone. Feel good about how you look. Check your posture and stand and sit up straight. No leaning forward, hunched. Put your head back.

5. Do at least one kind thing every day. No matter how small. Think kind. Be kind. Avoid unkind people if they affect your mood. Walk with a brisk step, greet people with kindness. Be the kind of person you want to see in the world. Start with kindness to yourself. Your partner/spouse. Your family/friends. Colleagues. Strangers.

By doing just these five things, you might venture to more activites in your day. Life starts with having a purpose every day. What is your purpose? Look around you and what do you find?
