Five star days

You have seen star ratings on hotels and restaurants. How about starring your day?

First consider what qualities a five star day might have. Perhaps a day you exercise, eat well, enjoy time with people you care about, and accomplish something valuable to you, plus a big surprise benefit. A surprise could be a promotion, a sale, a new client, a great inspiring conversation, or a phenomenal movie. Whatever makes you smile from ear to ear on a given day. Then what might a four star or three star days look like? What would make a day into a one star day?

Next, begin rating your days. You can keep track on your calendar if you prefer.

This exercise is based on the assumption that you get more of what you measure. If you measure the quality of your day, you will begin to pay attention to the things that improve the quality of your day. You may notice when you have good days and begin to act in ways that give you more good days. If you notice low star days, you can work toward more good days.

Here is to more five star days! Cheers!
