When I look back and remember the reason I started this blog, Behold Another Day, I am easily reminded that each day is a new day and we have tons of opportunities.

Here’s a list of things to empower your happiness:

Encourage someone else
Spend quality time with someone you love
Cuddle your pets
Enjoy the breath of life that you have in you – some people are on their last
Tell someone how much they mean to you and how much you appreciate them
Plan your next vacation
Give money or time to someone in need
Write down on paper what you are grateful for today
Apologize to someone you have hurt
Try something new
Say hello to a stranger
Call an old friend
Ask someone you know to share with you an important part of who they are and you reciprocate
Forgive someone that has wronged you
Eat lunch with the “new kid”
Possibly start the business you have always been dreaming about
Take a walk in nature
Watch the sunrise
Watch the sunset
Feed some wildlife
Sweat
Do good deeds
If married, do something special and totally out of the ordinary for him or her to make them feel special
You see? How refreshing is it just to read this list? I’m sure you can come up with one for yourself or for your own family. If you focus on all of the amazing opportunities and blessings you have in a day, you won’t be able to contain your happiness. There are days when we grieve someone or something, and that’s okay of course!

The point is, apply this type of thinking to each day when you wake up.

Much love – JT
