Regardless of the story that might surround it, when these ten elements are present in large part or in total on any given day – the day can’t help but be awesome.

Enthusiasm  Begin each day as if it were on purpose.  Learn as if your life depended upon it – may it not?                                   

Movement, especially in the morning, is energizing.  Dance, exercise, bike, walk, stretch, intimacy, move with grace.

Dreams & choices  See choices as opportunities.  Ask yourself, “What are my best choices for achieving my dreams?”  Lean a little toward your dream.

Completion  Chunk up the BIG task and do a bit. Work in little bits.      Can you begin it as if you intended to finish?

Relationship/connections    Being attentive has reward.               Can you be fully present and available to your friend?

Play & celebrations          Some days are simply meant for playing.Can you ask yourself, “Is there a reason to celebrate today?”

Generosity  Exercise your kindness muscle.                                    Can you extend an unexpected service toward a stranger?

Gratitude & appreciation.    Focus on the good in  your day.         Can you change your course today with appreciation?

Forgiveness is the grace i gift to myself.   Invite healthful and restorative sleep by letting go of all the harshness in your day with forgiveness.

Listen hard.   By listening to myself I am  able to listen to the universe, and listen better to others.
