Tell someone that you love them!
Tell someone that you love them or at least let them know that you care for them! I promise it will make their day better and you will feel good about yourself!Make a new friend!
He never hurts to be friendly! Strike up a conversation that focuses on positive issues! You never know your next bestfriend might be sitting right next to you on the subway! You'll feel more confident about yourself and it'll help your day go by smoother!DO YOU HAVE A MYSPACE? If so i'll be your friend! Here's MY PAGE
Pick up stray trash!
If you see some trash laying on the sidewalk on your way to work stop and pick it up it wont take long! If you do this your not only making a better scenery for everyone but also helping the earth! You'll feel positive about this and its a simple accomplishment! Meditate
Meditation is wonderful! You dont have to meditate a certain way or for a certain religion it can be as easy as taking a few minutes to stop and calm your body while clearing your mind! After meditating you'll be more willing and focused and ready to take on whatever the day presents to you! Read anything that interests you!
Reading can be relaxing!
Take out at least a few minutes everday and read! It can be anything as long as you are guinuinely interested! While you read relax and let your mind escape for a little while! Relaxed reading can crush stress! Watch a classic movie that you love!
Personally I love movies! Think about one of your all time favorite movies! When you watch that movie are you worried about work or any other stresses you may have? Im telling you try it out! Smile at someone!
Even if you dont know them!
Give a simple smile! It doesn't matter to who! The fact is that spreading positive energy in turn surrounds you with positive reactions! Make someone smile by simply smiling at them! A nice caring smile is simple to do and goes a long way I promise! Take a moment to enjoy a relaxing meal!
Always rushing and eating fast food is horrible for us to do all the time! I dont care how busy you are take some time to sit down at a table and enjoy a nice meal! Even if you do it by yourself! A humble dinner we'll prepare your mind and body for the next day! Green tea and ginseng!
After a hard day at work a cup of green tea and some ginseng can be really relaxing plus it is also healthy for u because it has many antioxidants in it!A simple idea by Happy-jack

Children are amazing! They are such a wonderful joy so take time out of your busy day and enjoy teaching a child the simple joys in life!"Spending quality time with your child is so important.

A simple idea by Jimmie
Birds and the Honey Suckle!
Singing birds and sweet smelling flowers calm the nerves like nothing else! I love this myself!"Listening to all the birds sing around my house all day long and smelling the sweet fragrance of the lilacs and honey suckle in the spring."

Let Mother Earth caress your soles!
This is one of my favorites! Its one of the best ways to connect with nature! Awesome!Show some support!Help Nature
"Walk barefoot and let Mother Earth caress your soles. You don't have to do it all the time if you're not into it like I am :) but every once in a while you should take off your shoes and appreciate the different textures under your feet. Walk barefoot on the beach, in the park, or even in your own yard especially when the grass is covered with morning dew. It's heavenly!"

Make your morning shower a mini-meditation session. Listen to the sound of the water, and the sensation of the water on your skin. Let thoughts float down the plughole, concentrate only on what your body can feel, see and hear. It is a lovely way to start your day.

Nah not really its more complex than that!

There's a million molecules in that flower that you're stopping to look at. And the reason you're able to see the flower is almost beyond comprehension. So actually the simple things are complex. "I don't make things complicated, they get that way all by themselves."

My 3 favorite "things" in life are my husband and 2 teenage grandsons. My husbands' comforting thoughtfulness and the effervescence of the boys are "my world"! Posted April 29, 2008 |
