There's nothing quite as motivating as having something to look forward to, no matter how simple or how important; be it something new in your daily routine, such as an exotic food for dinner, or a more grandiose affair like a holiday or major life event. I daresay you will be familiar with the old countdown, the idea of 'this time next week, I'll be...' and so on.
But even on a minute scale, the trifles that we are waiting for can sweeten the passage of time until their arrival. My direction, today, is therefore simple: count your blessings. Enjoy the flutters of anticipation, and savour the moment itself when it arrives, no matter how unimportant it may seem in the grand scheme of things.
If you feel you haven't any meritable events on the horizon, then allow yourself to await smaller pleasures: a sweet treat, going to the cinema, trying a new look, taking the scenic route, seeing an old friend, spending some time in the sun, dining out instead of eating in... Whatever it may be, find something and let it brighten your day and increase your smile factor.
There's really no point worrying over negative things either - if there is a solution, find it and amend the situation, if there isn't, then worrying will only make everything worse surely? So better to concentrate on the good, for being even just a little bit excited will make things that much more enjoyable. In the immortal words of one Mr. Bob Marley, therefore, "Don't worry. Be happy..."
