Mental Calisthenics - Treasures from My Old Diary

• Think of what would please an old friend, or anyone close to you. And act upon it.
• Write something everyday. A note to yourself, a bit of poetry or an entry in a daily journal.
• Memorise something interesting, funny, moving or serious (short and sweet length) once in a while. And to provide a total contrast, try to remember something from what you read, heard, said long ago.
• Review your calender for the next two weeks. If there's nothing good in it, do something different, the best things in life are free: museums, galleries, lectures... even some recitals.
• Make a decision to think only the pleasnt thoughts about a period of life that bothered you a lot.
• Think about two things everyday that deal with a positive reinforcement of things you want to change about yourself.
• Indulge in these mental exercises and watch your life change for the better.
