Write down 3 things you are grateful for each day.
Tip: You’re more likely to stick with it if you do this with a friend. Pick a friend and exchange your top 3 each day.
Meditate for 2 minutes, focusing on your breath going in and out.
Tip: If you do this before bed every night you will also sleep better.
Write a (brief) e-mail, text or tweet each morning thanking or praising someone.
Tip: Make a quick note each time you see someone do something praise/thank-worthy. Refer back to these notes each morning.
Exercise at least 20 minutes every
day.
Tip: Pick a time either first thing in the am or right after work to dedicate to exercise, and never miss a Monday.
End each work day writing down one thing that made you smile/laugh. Keep the post-it on your desk the whole next day until you write a new one.
Tip: If you haven’t smiled yet today, cat videos are always a good prompt.
