How to Make Your Day Great

I was reminded that having a great day is not a passive activity when my watch sent me a message that said, “Make it a great day.”

Whenever my students entered my classroom in a bad mood, I would tell them it was up to them to change the course of the day, but how can you do that? Here are a few ideas.

· Delay leaving bed. Instead of jumping out of bed, give yourself a few minutes to wake up. Think about what you will do today, send positive thoughts and prayers, and start easing into the day.

· Prepare for your day the night before. Your morning will be less stressful if you have everything ready. The less you have to do in the morning, the calmer your morning will be.

· Let some things go. Don’t allow anyone or anything to steal your peace. Before you allow drama to affect you, ask yourself why it matters. If it doesn’t, then don’t allow it to affect you.

· Do at least one act of kindness. Doing something nice for someone can start a domino effect, and you will feel good doing it.

· Know how to pivot. Being flexible instead of reacting to setbacks will make your day much better.

· Be a model for others. You have no idea how much you can help someone by the way you act.

You have the power to control your day. Choose to have a good one!
