"A great attitude is like a perfect cup of coffee – don’t start your day without it."
Anonymous
Positive vibes are contagious. Every bit of goodness and positivity that we put into this world comes back in some way. Each day of our lives has an entry, in which either you can have a good start, or you can jump around or ignore the days altogether.
More often than not, we find ourselves waking up, scrolling the screen, and instantly being part of the rat race of our lives. We never pause for a minute to enjoy the tiniest moment of the day.
Consequently, when we are overwhelmed with life's happenings, we find ourselves asking similar questions:
- Why do bad things happen to good people?
- How to find order in such a chaotic life?
- How do you stay put when so many of life's events seem to pull you back?
Steps to Have a Great Day
Mike O’Halloran talks about easy steps to make your day a great day. The steps include the following:
- Get a good rest the night before
- Drink a glass of water to hydrate yourself as soon as you wake up
- Eat a healthy and nutritious breakfast.
- Find time to go on a walk in a nearby park.
- Smile at every person you encounter while walking
- Stretch your muscles, do it slowly in the beginning
- Refresh your mind by doing something creative, trying something new, or working on something apart from your daily chores/work
- Do something special for those you love. Make dinner, buy them flowers, or do that home chore that no one likes to do.
- Listen to your favorite song and dance to it if you feel like
- Spread compliments and make others smile. What are you waiting for?
- Be grateful for all that you have. There are much less fortunate who can't afford

How to have a perfect day?
- Climb the everyday life ladder as one rung per day at a time.
- Sometimes we need to take a step back, pause for a moment and find the right moment ourselves, which is just in front of us.
- Open your heart and mind to the world. Take a risk and try something new. Scary? Yes. Worth it? Definitely!
- No matter what problems come your way, wear that smile and tell yourself you will have a good day ahead.
- Two small words with a big impact include thank you, always here, miss you, most welcome, had fun, and many others. How about you reply to someone to make their day better? In return, you will eventually have a good day yourself.
- Make the time to go to your favorite spot and let every one of your senses take its fill. May it be your favorite spot en route office, a park, your favorite bookstore, or anywhere in between.
- Kickstart someone's day through maybe your sibling at a long distance or your grandparents. Send them a thoughtful good morning message when you wake up.
- Plan a fun outing or spend some quality time with your family. Remember, they are the people who love you unconditionally.
- Call or spend time with your grandparents, elderly relative, or an elderly friend. You will be surprised by how much you can learn from the life experiences they have been through.
- If someone took the time to invite you, take the time to stop by. Drop endless excuses and justifications, you tell yourself. We all fall into that trap. Break the trend. An unlikely experience may be waiting for you. Take it all.
You are fortunate enough to have so many aspects of life to have a good day plugged in for yourself and the people around you.
All you need is to make it happen since there're countless moments in a day, even on days when things are rough and tough. Spread positive vibes and better because they're contagious. They spread and come back to you like a boomerang.
