ENJOY) 1. Decide that it will be a great day. This is the most important step. 2. Lie in bed thinking happy thoughts and envisioning your great day for an extra 15-20 minutes. 3. Get dressed and ready for the great day ahead. Put on something that makes you feel good. 4. Start the day with something inspirational: a podcast, a recording, a book, or a favorite (inspirational) blog. 5. Say hello to the sun and, in my case, the mountains. 6. Chug a glass of water. 7. Grab a cup of coffee or tea. 8. Eat breakfast and take your vitamins. 9. Check your email to make sure there is nothing urgent there, but don’t spend too long in the inbox (5 minutes). Note that this is #9, not #1! 10. Check your task list and prioritize what is most important. Repeat this step at least two more times throughout the day. 11. Tackle the task list. Listen to soothing music or sounds. My favorite CD these days is the sounds of the ocean, seeing as we have very little water here in the high desert. 12. Say Yes to the really good stuff and Thanks, but No Thanks to what doesn’t serve you. 13. End the day in good time. Look at your task list for tomorrow and plan your day. Mentally leave your studio or office and spend time with yourself or with loved ones. 14. Before going to bed, write your gratitudes in your journal. What are you thankful for today? Also, write what you accomplished during your great day and pat yourself on the back. Just as you started your day with an inspiration, you will end it with another inspirational ritual. 15. If you have a significant other, kiss them goodnight. Before turning out the lights ask him or her: What made you happy today? Be prepared to share what made you happy. 16. Say one last prayer of gratitude to the universe for giving you such an amazing day. 17. Sleep soundly for 7 to 8 hours. shared from <https://aaartbizold.wpengine.com/2008/10/how-to-have-a-great-day.html>; […]

What does a testimonial look like ? I thought it was just a compliment on a product ? Which I try to do on ArtBizBlog as often as possible because I am so grateful…( I come from the land where advertising is a myth , forgive my innocence…)

Sari: That’s great to hear! Wanna send me a testimonial? Robert: Exactly. And you can’t even seem to be able to answer your phone these days with so many political calls. Terri: Use it for awhile, then come up with your own. And share it with me! Fiona: Yea. I’m working on some other artist affirmations right now. Yours are great.

A lot of great ideas here. Some of them I currently us and others, especially number 17, I have some difficulty pulling off at times. Something that I find helpful is to remove myself from the information overload coming from the media. Especially right now. If I don’t limit my exposure to this I find it to be very draining. So I have replaced a lot of it with music and reading.

I’ve been looking for ways to make my day more positive and efficient with time to wind down and enjoy myself rather than always running from pillar to post!
