Make it a Great Day
Here's ten things you can do to take today from just a regular day to a great day:
1. Treat yourself to a cup of gourmet coffee.
It's small thing--relatively inexpensive--but stop on the way in to work today and pick up a cup of excellent gourmet coffee to treat yourself.
2. Take a walk after lunch.
Even if it's 10 minutes down the block and back. Just get out, take some deep breaths and move your body around. Take a friend with you if you can.
3. Find a great joke online and tell it to someone.
The only thin better than a good laugh is sharing it. Need some help finding jokes?

4. Call your mom. Or husband. Or girlfriend. Just to say you love them.
It doesn't have to be a long call. If they don't answer, leave a message. Just a quickie to say you love them. It will make their day--and you'll feel wonderful.
5. Write a poem.
Don't worry, its not going to be published. You can even throw it away as soon as your write it. Just sit down and do it. It can be funny, or sweet, or even serious and sad. But writing a poem is a great way to exercise your mind and get your thoughts down on paper. If you like it, give it to someone and make their day special, too.
6. Stop and stretch for five minutes.
Not just a weak little stretch--but a good, long, body tingling stretch that gets your blood moving and makes you feel lighter.
7. Make some comfort food for dinner.
What makes you feel good? Chili? Macaroni and cheese? Forget your diet for one day and make yourself something good and warm and comforting for dinner. Just thinking about it all day will make the day better.
8. Practice friendly driving.
Drive time is the worst time of the day for a lot of people. So today, make it a point to be extra courteous to other drivers. Give a little wave and let people cut in front of you. Smile, and relax. Don't plan on getting anywhere fast--just chill and let your good vibes give the rest of the commuters a much-needed boost.
