Make The Rest of Today Amazing

Written by Tania Young | Nov 20, 2013 11:00:00 AM

No matter what has already happened today, how the remainder of your day plays out depends entirely on the choices you make. The rest of today is going to be amazing - here are a few suggestions how to make it so:

Loosen your grip: Trying to manage the whole world around you is stressful.  You can't control everything, only the way you react to it - sometimes, you just need to relax and let life happen around you.  You don't need to know the exact direction you are going in, to know that you are headed somewhere great.

Focus on the future: Everyone's life has positive and negative influences - your happiness and success depends on which of these you decide to focus on.  Let go of what you can't control and invest your time and energy into the positive things that you can.

Check off your 'to-do' list: That one thing that you will 'get around to' gets bigger and scarier with every passing moment - and it is more about perception than reality.  Take the bull by the horns and tackle the daunting tasks first.

Spend an hour on your passion: Find something that you get so involved in that you forget what time of day it is.

Do something new: Step out of your comfort zone and experience something wild and new.

Just like you can't rewind the past, you can't stop the future - and the only way forward is to live each and every moment.  What would you add to the list? How are you going to make the rest of today amazing?
