16) For each person that you deal with or think about, think of what you can admire about them.
15) Buy a bunch of pillows and cushions. Have fun with them in the house, building houses, walls, etc.
14) Focus on what has surprised you lately. What has inspired you. What has stirred your emotions.
13) Talk to a stranger
12) For one day, become aware of your feet as often as possible throughout the day.
11) Practice feeling and relaxing every part of your body for 2 minutes. See how you feel afterwards.
10) Learn from others' mistakes. Find one mistake today that somebody else made that you can learn from.
9) Actively practice using your imagination. Imagine that it's a muscle that you need to exercise. Imagine being a cat, being M.K. Gandhi, visualizing the Grand Canyon, listening to a symphony, sucking on a lemon,
sitting on a cloud looking down, being a storyteller and creating a story, flying, floating on water.
8) When faced with a problem or something that you want to change, think of who would do really well in this situation, and become that person. Think like they think, and act like they act. Be an actor.
[Mike Brescia]
7) Practice laughing for 1 minute. Imagine you're an actor and be as real as possible.
6) Stare at yourself in the mirror for 5 minutes. Set a timer.
5) Find out about someone else. Be genuine.[Mike Brescia]
4) Talk to yourself like you are an advisor to yourself. [Mike Brescia]
3) Fast for one meal, and use the money that you saved on food for something you wouldn't otherwise do, like giving it to a homeless person, or surprising someone
with a gift.
2) Work on making one person smile today.
1) Smile for 60 seconds straight. Just sit there and smile. Don't do anything else. See how you feel afterwards. (from Mike Brescia )
