- Wake before sunrise with the thought “thank God I’m alive.” Make sure you feel this, not just think it.
- Drink a glass or two of pure (boiled or distilled) lukewarm water instead of coffee or tea when you wake.
- Skip coffee / caffeine for just today and drink pure water all day and herbal tea (jasmin or ginger are great)
- Instead of pounding the pavement or hitting the gym go for a nature walk and watch the sunrise
- Work on being thankful that you got to be here.
- Make a list of all the things/people that have happened to cross your path in life that you find hard to be thankful for and find a way to be thankful without using double negatives (thankful that he/she taught me never to ….)
- Once the day begins, only eat raw food. No bread, no sugar, nothing from a packet, no dairy, meat/fish is ok.
- Drink no alcohol today. Tomorrow you can.
- Chew everything you eat 50 times each mouthful
- Try to say thank you to at least 100 people today
- Write a thank you letter to someone you’ve been ignoring and tell them how much you appreciate them
- To your kids and spouse, family make an effort to pop them a line or a kiss and say “I love you.”
- Smile warmly at people you’ve never met – make their day.
- Drop $5 somewhere. Make someone’s day… don’t look back to see who received it.
- Change someone’s life.
- At work, go for a walk at lunch time instead of sitting down.
- Hold just one meeting outdoors. Instead of sitting at a cafe or office walk in the park with a business meeting or friend.
- Come home from work via a small piece of nature and sit and deep breathe for a few minutes and come home with more energy than you left with in the morning.
- Be enthusiastic around your family when you get home…
- Before bed, say a long thankyou prayer before sleep for the day by counting backward by the hour and remembering every hour something special about the day past.
