traversus:

• Wake up and open your curtains. Your windows too.
  
• Drink some tea or coffee, whatever pleases you. Notice every sip.
• Have some fresh fruit and finish breakfast feeling full.
• Stand outside and feel the air. Cool or warm, it will make you feel real.
• Get some exercise. Yoga to soothe, running to breathe, lifting for strength.
• Take care of your body. Have a nice shower and pamper as much as you want afterward. 
• If you’re going to work, remember you have the chance to make anyone’s day or to ruin it. Act accordingly. 
• Weed out the bad language. It’s only creating tension in your body and mind. Kind words are infinitely more appreciated.
• Take some time each day to improve your mind. Keep reading that great book. Listen to an incredible piece of music. Practice an instrument or a skill. The progress is its own reward.
• Pictures will help you remember how wonderful life is. But spend less time on your phone and more time seeing the world face to face. 
• Go to sleep knowing that you have done well. Tomorrow is there with room to become even better.
