 * Tips on how to enjoy your daily’s life.**

Charles Robinson, an average middle’s class male in his mid-40’s, has given these tips to many people, and says he hasn’t heard any complaints to this date. He used to works at Haines City Electric Company as a technician; yet, he went back to school and became a Psychotherapist in the Tampa bay area. He said, “I feel that it is my call to help people with their emotional problems and think I could be very successful at it.” The first step given to have a better day by Robinson, was to create an ambiance at tonight’s or any night’s dinner. He says to put out your best linens or create a centerpiece. He added, “A festive setting makes for a festive mood.”

The second tip given was to get outside. Whenever you feel bored, antsy, or gloomy, go for a walk. The fresh air, changing scenery and exercise can boost any mood. A way to ruin a person’s mood is to argue with another person. So the next time someone argues with you, Robinson says to, “Be the first person to relent and acknowledge the other person’s point of view.” When someone can do this, compromises set in and you’ll both be smiling sooner. Robinson also said, “And there should always be room in your busy schedule to pat a pet.” Rubbing a good dog or scratching a cat, can relive our stress quickly. I’m sure your pet wouldn’t mind you venting on their neck or back for awhile.

There is also a logical way to improve one’s mood and that is to, “Hit the sack sooner”, he added. If you go to bed an hour earlier tonight, you’ll wake up energized with a brighter outlook tomorrow.

“A further way to help brighten your day,” Robinson says, “is to volunteer with a local charity.” This will help you feel useful, while helping people that actually need help. There is no better joy to feel doing something for your community. You will feel not only proud to accomplish something, but also a relief to see the face and smile of other.

Buying something beautiful is an easy way to feel better too. Place a small but exquisite painting, handmade vase, or other piece of art prominently in your home. Robinson says, “If you are a guy buy a new tool, fishing supply, or hunting tool.” Whatever you buy, admire it often and you can feel better. Also, you could take lessons. When you were a kid, did you always want to try horseback riding or sailing? Do you wish you could take up a hobby, like knitting or piano playing? Now is the time to learn how. He says that, “Hobbies are fun and relieve stress.”

Add greenery. Adorn your desk and house with cut flowers, houseplants, or potted herbs. You could even plant a new tree outside across the view of your window to admire the beauty of nature. Robinson also says that, “Plants are proven mood enhancers.” Or simply just Know that you're loved. There's no greater joy. You are so apprehended in the daily’s activities such work, travel that you forgot the most important things just passed you by; your closed allied in life: “parents, husband or wife, children and friends are feel so neglect by the shadow of your desire to give them what society claim as important you became blind or miss the mark to accomplish or acknowledge that “you are loved” and this can impact your well-being. Relish a juicy read. You can start a new book that you know is going to be good. Robinson says, “It’s good to use your imagination, while getting your mind off of the everyday stress in your life.” A fun challenge to take is Robinson’s next tip to brightening your day. Climb something. Find a tree, a monument, or the highest point in your town. Take in the view from the top and forget your worries.

You could even redo a room. Paint a dresser, a door, four walls, or even a ceiling anything .Doing something around your home, bring not a sense of closeness but also intimacy. He is a reward or an example of leadership and entrepreneur that your family and neighbors can well distinguish and recall when someone ask information or want reference about you. A new color brings change and beauty into your life. And last but not least try to crack yourself up. Think of the funniest movie scene you have seen, your high school prom, your first kiss or the most embarrassing moment of yourself. Bring every memory that can make you to return in the past to evaluate yourself not because it was as a failure at that particular moment but to see it as improvement to who you are. After all done, Robinson’s last advice was to simply just, “Laugh out loud.”

These are just a few of the many ways to brighten up a gloomy day. Soak yourself in fun with inventive ways. Just being you by following some of these fun tips. So, cease the day and have a ball doing it.
