The Most Important 'Top 10 List' (your own)

This may be the most important Top 10 list you will ever read. But first, you have to create it!

This is a very simple exercise that I learned while at a "Happiness Retreat" with Shawn Achor (Author of The Happiness Advantage). If you can make a habit of this VERY simple thing, it can truly change your attitude at the start of every day (especially Mondays). Me and my family have made this a habit and it has caused us all to feel more positive, happy, and grateful on a daily basis.

Grab a small piece of paper that you can leave hidden around your desk, or put in your wallet, etc. Something that you can access every single morning and that is just for you. This is not something that will be shared.

Write at the top: "10 Things I Love About Me". Number the page, 1-10, fill it in (no particular order). That's it! Be honest and don't dwell too much. This is something that no one other than you will ever read (unless you want them to). The list can be related to professional, personal, it doesn't matter; as long as it is truthful and real. Put this piece of paper where you can quickly read it to yourself every single day. The important thing is to make it a habit, so be sure you stick to it for a while.

I would love to hear how you feel after creating your own Top 10 List and reading it every morning for a few weeks. Share this idea with others, make it a habit. And please stay in touch and let me know how you do.

Have a great week
(Now, go make your list!)
