A Small Piece of Advice

I recently read in a magazine a brief but powerful suggestion. Every day at supper time or before bedtime reflect on one thing that made you smile during your day. It maybe the cute baby you seen in the store, being helped by a stranger, a typo in the newspaper, or the seeing the sunrise on your way to work.

I love this idea because it inspires us to perceive and evaluate our day in a positive light. Furthermore, as the author explains, "it [forces us] to immediately appreciate" our lives as they are today. This advice becomes even more powerful if you share your answers amongst family, friends, or coworkers. It is a great conversation starter, is an opportunity for laughter, decreases negativity and creates joy, and is a way of learning more about ourselves and the people around us.
