- Get up a little earlier and take some me time before the demands of the day take over
- Say nice things to yourself – repeat them but believe them!

- Give a warm smile to a person who looks sad or lonely
- Wear a bright colour or fashion a totally different look from your wardrobe
- Restyle your hair – add an accessory, use gel or change the parting.
- If you like music, play your favourite and turn up the volume
- Spritz more of your favourite perfume or spray
- Change your beverage – if it’s usually an earl grey tea try a mocha cappuccino or green tea! Change still water for sparking
- Out for a coffee? Go somewhere new
- Awaken those taste buds by experimenting with styles of cooking and food combinations
- Integrate trendy foods into new dishes – quinoa, kelp, kale, turmeric, beets, berries, oily fish – eat healthy, be healthy
- Choose a different sport , adopt a new exercise or take your existing one up a notch
- Eat when you are hungry, not when meal times dictate
- Think out of the box before you sleep – this may bring in new ideas for the next day.
