Tip of the Day

Make 2 lists:

What jazzes you? Revs you up and gives you energy? I'll go first...

Tangerines
Fresh air
Music
Accomplishing a task
Art
Travel
Nature
Family
A good cup of coffee
Conversation with good friends

What saps your energy and makes you feel burdened, weighed down?

Tasks undone
Too much to do
Stuff
Sugar
Internet idiots
Meanness
Violence
Screwing up
Not enough sleep
Too much sleep
A messy environment
Too much computer time

Try to bring a little more of the first into your life, and release some of the second.
