Tiny Habits to Make Any Day Your Best Day Ever
Carpe diem: “seize the day”
More often than not, we spend 90% of the day in the past or the future.
Not many people spend the day being present: enjoying and deliberately engaging in their activity in real-time.
Do you remember a day you enjoyed every bit of your waking hours? When was the last time you were insanely satisfied at the end of the day?
“Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It’s not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it’s a day you’ve had everything to do and you’ve done it,” Margaret Thatcher once observed.
What to do, why you do it, when you do it and how you do it have a massive influence on how your day turns out.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life, or so they say. There are always new opportunities to make a fresh start.
Whether you need to get through your workdays or you want to have fun with friends and family, you can make each day enjoyable and productive.
It’s hard to have a good day when you are fixated on everything that could go wrong or the difficult tasks ahead.
