Make each day nice instead of just wishing

Life is made up of small moments. But when you're busy juggling work, friends and romance, it's easy to forget how much those small moments affect us on a day-to-day basis. Think about it. When someone pays you a small compliment, how much better do you feel? That one interaction can carry you through the rest of your day. Of course, it goes both ways, but let's focus on the positive, shall we?

When you add up all the small moments in your life, they amount to something substantial. Just think what would happen over time if you simply adjusted the little things you do every day. It could have a genuinely significant impact on your life. It could change the game. In case you need inspiration, here are 13 super simple things you can do to make your day better.

Select and lay out your clothes for the next day before you go to bed. Let's be real, none of us can think coherently in the morning — especially if we can't find access to coffee in a timely manner. This makes picking an outfit totally painful. Eliminate that pain by choosing an outfit the night before. It may even make you the most style-envied person in your office.

Treat yourself by pampering your favourite ice cream just for yourself and buy something but only if it's on sale. Who doesn't love a good deal? We all love a good deal! You should do something to treat yourself every day, but when that treat is on sale? It'll feel even better.. Take a quick walk every hour, on the hour, while you're at work. Your brain needs a break from your computer, and your body needs a break from sitting at your desk. Achieve both simultaneously by taking a quick walk — five to 10 minutes — every hour, on the hour, during the workday. It'll energize you even more than a sugary snack, all without the crash.

Eat your lunch with a co-worker instead of by yourself. It's hard to align your lunch schedule with your co-workers when you all have such busy schedules and a lot on your plates. But when you do, lunch is always that much better. Any of the day's stresses can melt away with the chance to have a vent session and mutually joke about your department peers.

Take a few minutes out of your day to look at photos of your celeb crush. Looking at something beautiful is aesthetically pleasing and can really brighten your day. And what's more beautiful than your favorite celebrity? Take just a minute or two to search new photos of your celeb crush. Stare at the attractiveness for as long as you need to find yourself smiling. Then move on. You have work to do, after all.

Actively enjoy good things now. Be about the present instead of scheming to create a better future. Create some alone time. Sit in nature may be at a beach or under a tree, on a mountain and let yourself simply be quiet. Share some fun with someone you love. Forget about everything that feels like a problem and do something that seems like fun. Have fun spontaneously. Volunteer your time at an orphanage. Buy groceries for them or buy medicines for some old people who stay alone. Volunteer your time to help a charity you believe in. Put all your energy into helping others, and you will find peace of mind without looking.

Show kindness to people on the street and buy small things from the children selling at traffic signals. Show some kindness without expecting anything in return. If they ask what they can do for you, tell them to pay it forward. Serve someone else Just because t will make them smile do it just for them. That might mean helping them pursue their passion, or motivating them to reach their fitness goals. Whatever gives your life meaning, give it to someone freely. Cheers!
