It might not always make sense. For some, it might seem completely wrong. But once you’re involved and working through a matter, appreciate the process.

Give Someone A Boost
Tell someone today that they are smart, fun, kind or hard working. You can say other kind things too.
Just make sure you tell at least one person today to help lift their spirits. Most people will say they are fine even when their whole world is turning on its head. Give them some specific compliment that they can hold onto all day. Sometimes that is all a person has to survive on.
Enjoy Comedy With Friends
Go to a club together, the Apollo, Comedy Store or Yuk Yuks. Wherever you go, enjoy it and laugh!
It’s a great way to decompress and enjoy life a little.
Smile More
Think of a trigger moment in life that always makes you smile. A situation or a photo often works best. Think of it and make yourself smile. Make a full, almost giddy, smile and enjoy the feeling.
Hold The Emotion
When you feel an emotion coming up in your body, hold it for a minute. Feel it and understand where it came from. Good ones, and the others, they all need a little reflection.
You can learn a lot from this process. I like to say, ‘From Uncomfortable to Unstoppable’ and doing this exercise will sometimes make you quite uncomfortable. But that is ok. It is worth it. This self-knowledge will make you unstoppable.
What Are You Celebrating Today?
Every day you should be celebrating something. That gives you 365 opportunities to celebrate. It can be something incredible like you and your teammates winning the World Cup or it can be something a little more run-of-the-mill, such as being given an extra cookie with your morning coffee.
Remember to develop the skill of celebrating. It is very important to remember to celebrate as often as you can.
It’s All Risky
Getting out of bed is risky. Walking down the road is risky. Jim Rohn taught us that this is a world with everyday risk. Working is risky but so is not working – just in a different way.
So pick what you want to do and pursue it. Make sure you mitigate all the risks that you can, right from the beginning. The more risks you can mitigate well, this will help you ensure the viability of any project, company or event.
Keep Your Happy
If you’re in a great mood, request that people don’t bring you down. Avoid any negative media or conversations. And keep those thoughts positive.
Call Your Sibling
Whether you have a great relationship or not, keep working it. Put the time in and you may be surprised where you get to.
Imagine Amazing!
When you imagine your future, whether career, sports, marriage, house, retirement or anything else, why not start with amazing?!
Why start with just a little bit better than right now? When you can dream, dream big! So when you dream about your life, dream as massively big as you can imagine!
Then work back a little and create the plan you’ll need to achieve this amazing. Then, immediately, start working a few minutes, hours, days, and weeks on those plans until you achieve amazing!
