Happy Thursday or should I say Thankful Thursday! Today is the day before Friday and naturally the mind focuses on negative thoughts and the body feels quite sluggish. I want today to be about feeling great! Training ourselves and our mind to focus on the positive thoughts is one way to make you feel amazing. There are plenty of ways to make Thursday feel like Friday! However, the top three ways I know of make Thursday fly by but live on forever in your memory.
Tip 1: Live selflessly. This should be something you are used to doing but today is the day to be aware of it. I suggest doing everything you can to make someone's day better. Help someone by giving them advice when they ask for it, helping a neighbor get to work if they are having a rough morning or saying hello to someone new. Being mindful when doing this and successfully making someone's day better will make you feel amazingly confident in the person you are and who you are becoming.
Tip 2: Have fun! I know it's a Thursday and its your last day to be productive before the weekend but I think Wednesdays are for worrying about work...remember?! Thursday should be about letting go of your worries and setting aside time to unwind. Call a friend and meet for coffee after work or head to the beach and catch the sunset. Have you ever said "The weekend just flew by!"? With this tip, you may never feel like that again because it allows you to spread out plans and feel more relaxed when going into work the next day.
Tip 3: Call a friend/ loved one and express your appreciation for them...a letter would be better. Imagine shuffling through the junk you pulled out of the mailbox and suddenly seeing your name handwritten on an envelope, how would that make you feel? If you are anything like me, you would drop all the bills and advertisements, head over to the couch and read all about your friends' new adventures. Maybe she lives a 1,000 miles away from you or down the street; you can miss someone no matter where they are in the world. I often send letters out to a friend of mine from High School who lives in a different state and even though we talk and text occasionally, I still feel it is important to send her something every so often to show her that I will always value her friendship. Grab a pack of thank you cards at your nearest CVS and start writing! I assure you this will impact not only your life, but the person who is special enough to hold a place in your heart.
Today, just like any other day will have it's problems but never forget to smile and be thankful for every passing moment.
