Have a good day!!!!

People tell us to have a good day all the time, but few ever tell us how to go about having a good day. This phrase has almost become a form of greeting like, “Hi, how are you?” or “Good morning”. Have you ever thought about what it takes to have a good day? Although, nothing can really stop the unexpected from happening here are a few tips how having a good day.

1. Don’t get up at the last minute. Give yourself plenty of time in the morning to do what you need to do.
2. Pause before the day starts to gather your thoughts, meditate, pray, or go through your routine for what awaits you at the office.
3. Plan you day the night before. Make a list of “necessary things” you must do. This will keep you on tract throughout the day.
4. Take at least two short breaks of five to ten minutes during the day in addition to your lunch break.
5. Set margins around your life. Ask yourself, is this something that fits into my life goals?
6. Write out a mission statement for your life? Many companies do this, why not do it for you? It will help you stay focused on what is important.
7. Learn to relax and enjoy your leisure time.
8. More important, be kind to yourself. You are the only you that you have. Be your own best friend.
9. When you do this it is easy to be kind to those around you, even those who get on your nerves.
