Like most people, I define the best days of my life by the memories I carry with me and the most memorable days of my life have been shared with my closest friends.
Morning Routine:
The first thing that must be done, no matter what, is getting out of bed.
Getting out of bed is absolutely crucial to having any kind of day, but especially a great day.
Avoid the temptation to pull the covers over your head by waking up to a song that gets you pumped and excited for the day.
My personal favorites include “Tik Tok” by Ke$ha, “Party in the USA” by Miley Cyrus, or “I Gotta Feeling’” by the Black Eyed Peas.
After your feet have touched the floor, smile.
You cannot expect to have a great day without a smile on your face.
Good things happen to those who are open to the possibilities that a day can hold. Think of all the fun you are going to have today and smile.
Share the day with someone you care about.
You can’t expect to have a great day if it is not shared with someone you love. Call some of your closest friends and make a plan for the day.
The best days are always shared with the best people in your life. This step is crucial; the whole plan of having a great day will fail if you are not enjoying the day with people who enjoy your company as much as you enjoy theirs.
Do something epic.
Try doing at least one epically random/awesome/awkward/funny thing today and see where it takes you.
It does not matter what it is, or the lengths you have to go to get a laugh, just ensure that it is memorable and not illegal. The more crazy and fun it is, the more memorable it will be with you and your friends.
Enjoy the ride.
In the words William Feather: “no man is a failure who is enjoying his life.” I am convinced that if one is not enjoying his/her life, that individual is really LIVING.
Life is a gift and we are meant to enjoy it. Part of enjoying your life is sharing it with the people you love.
The best way to do this? Do something memorable, special, and full of laughter.
Always keep in mind that you will only get as much fun out of the day as you put in, so give this special day your all, and don’t let it not be tainted by something trivial or silly.
