Some days the world conspires against me, and I feel as if I will never, ever accomplish anything important, ever again. So, I’m making a list of things to break that mood, attitude and place in my mind. Here’s what I have so far:
Throw away one thing – declutter
Say thank you for one “everyday” thing
Write, text, or call a friend
Learn a new joke and find three people to tell it to
Eat something you have never had before
Do something for someone else without letting them know
Play
Laugh
Sleep
It’s working so well, I’m trying to do the whole list everyday. Any other suggestions of things to add to this list?
Go to Wikipedia or Dictionary.com, and learn one new word or idea. Especially with the wiki entries, I find them to be interesting enough to follow up on, and somewhat mood changing/distracting.

Oh, I like! And then you can randomly use new and interesting words and conversation starters… “The cuddlefish is fascinating!“
