Alone on Thanksgiving?

Alone on Thanksgiving?

Few things we can do if we are alone for the Thanksgiving:

1. Go for a long walk ...or short if the weather is not so good in your corner of the world. 

2. Go to the movies or watch favorite movies at home (DVDs, Netflix, etc.)

3. Call your friend(s) 

4. Volunteer

5. Create a list of GOOD things that happened in your life 

6. Music - Select your favorite songs and dance as much as you can!

What else can you add to those 6?

Empathy

Do you stop sometimes and think about empathy?  Do you think about what other people are going through in their lives?

What to do? What to say? How we can help?

...maybe it's worth to look around and try to be more open to the world...

3 Good Things

I stumbled upon an interesting and useful exercise that I decided to do every day from now on. Exercise is very simple:

"Think about 3 GOOD things that went well today in your life 

and WHY they went well"

Unfortunately we tend to take good things that happen in our lives for granted and we don't think about them too often. At the same time we focus on bad things and problems so much that they overpower us and control our lives. 

It's time to try and change that. Let's start with something small and simple. Focusing our attention on positive thinking help us to increase level of happiness in our lives.

So...just before sleep try to reflect on good things that happened in your live that day and why they happened.

need some help with examples? Here are mine (Saturday, Jan 25th 2014):

• I bumped into M. today. I haven't seen her for ages. It was such a nice short conversation. Made me smile.
• Had a chance to test another photo-editing application. I discovered new ideas that I can use in the near future.
• Created and proposal for the client. Finally I figured out a interesting idea and was able to create a good proposal. Happy me.

As I mentioned earlier, simple-good-things that happened in your life. Try to finish your day with something positive!

First Day of Winter

The first day of winter in Phoenix area is almost always the same - great. Somehow this year something happened and look what I noticed early on the morning on the firs day of winter:

First time in almost 3 years I experienced a foggy morning.

Waiting

What do you usualy do when you have to wait?

Can we wait patiently and what does actually mean to "wait patiently"?

I'm at the car service ...waiting and waiting. But that's ok. I have few options: I can get impatient and complane but is this a right option for me? no...all I'm going to achieve is: get nervous and make those people there nervous as well. It's just not worth it. Second option looks so much better: I can use the time as best as I can. 

I decided to find a place I can sit and work ("do my thing"). That way I'm not wasting my time, people who work here (car dealer/service) are doing their work - everything looks ok. 

 

(photo: nope..that's not my car)

So what do you do when you need to wait for someone or something? Do get nervous or maybe you try to utilize the time you have? 

...and just the tiny little thing I'm NOT looking forward to is the invoice, but ohh well I like my car and I need my car to work.
