How To Have A Good Day

Character of the Month Series

Having character is a necessary requirement for having a good day. We all want to wake up with a smile, feel rejuvenated, and ready to take on life’s challenges. Some days it is hard to get going and a cup of coffee just doesn’t make my day seem better, but I have some suggestions.

1. Get some sleep the night before—nothing will make’s a morning better than sleep.

2. Remember that no matter what you have planned for your day, it is going to change—do not let a change in plans destroy your confidence. Things that get broken can be fixed.

3. Plan to be happy, eat healthy, give to someone (make it a surprise), and tell people you love them (make sure you mean it).

4. If you end up doing things all day long for others, make sure you do something nice for yourself—even if it is only an extra few minutes in the shower or tub.

5. Try to learn one thing new each day or experience something new. Newness will help keep you in a positive mode and your positive outlook on life will be contagious.

6. Do not do things just for others; always work on doing what is right and just. People can get in the way of and hinder your striving to do good—be principled.

7. Turn off your electronic devices—they should not be controlling your life. Set aside a certain time or block of time that you do not use them—be human not robotic.

8. Fresh air and good water is a must for us all. So go for a run outside or a bike ride and remember, drink lots of water that have minerals and vitamins.

9. If you messed up during your day, take time to make things right. You should not go to bed at night feeling like a jerk, having guilt or being angry—make things right with others and yourself.

10. I you are a believing Christian, tell God how much your appreciated His help and kindness to you. Be thankful, take time to praise Him, and say a prayer of gratitude. You are because of Him; do not take Him for granted.

A good day is only as good as you make it. Strive for happiness and true character.
