Happy Monday and It's a Beautiful Week!

What are you looking forward to this week? Anticipation of happy experiences is a good stress buster–especially if you are in a work setting that isn't to your preference. While you are waiting for change to occur, what can you enjoy right now, right here?
Here are some things I will enjoy this week:
  • The smiles of my children, husband, and mother.
  • Taking our dog for long walks.
  • The humor of my co-workers.
  • The beautiful New Mexico sky.
  • The fascination of the wind in April.
What are the experiences you will enjoy this week?

Drink More Water

With a mid-week holiday, it can be challenging to feel the at the top of our game when we return to work Thursday and Friday. As the year winds down and you begin making commitments for improvements for your lifestyle, consider drinking more water to be one of your top decisions for 2014. Start Thursday and Friday as an experiment and see if it doesn't help diminish some of the sugar plum and Santa cookie hangovers you might be experiencing. With all things being equal for new year's resolutions, drinking plain water everyday is the simplest action we can take to make an overall improvement in our health across the board.

Whatever role you play in life, you have the opportunity to be the reason others keep coming back. Keep coming back to: School; Work; Church; Home; or Hobbies. How can I do this?  It's not as complicated as you might think, even with the most difficult: Student, Colleague; Child; Parent; Client; Patient, or Boss. You decide and believe their presence makes a valuable difference, no matter how difficult or different they might be. Then you express it to them by telling them "thank you for coming." And mean it. And they will know you mean it but they may not smile at you the first time you say it because they might not believe it (because you might not believe it either the first time you say it).
