10 subtle habits that can transform a lame day into a great day
I know the feeling.
It seems like everything’s out of reach. You spiral and things get existential and a teensy bit scary.
Let’s put a stop to that because the way out needs only to be a small window.
Here are some tips for turning around your day:
Read five pages of any book.
Get your mind off your worries and into a fiction story.
Five pages give you enough to redirect your attention and to decide whether you might want to keep reading.
Reach out to someone you otherwise would not.
Heck, make it a party and reel off ten messages to ten different people. A lot of feeling glum has to do with disconnection.
Connecting with real humans is energising. Your network is nourished like a plant.
Speaking of plants…
Water your plants, or get new ones.
Buy flowers. Get a plant. Start a little garden on your balcony.
Bring nature IN.
