As I wrote my Morning Pages today, I came up with the following check list and thought I would share it with you.
Just For Today
- Give yourself at least one hug
- Spend time in nature
- Reach out to a friend you haven’t connected with lately
- Treat yourself to a delicious cup of coffee or tea at the local coffee shop
- Set aside time for quiet reflection, prayer or meditation
- Be of service, help someone out and allow someone to help you
- Make a Gratitude List
- Do something creative, color, doodle, journal, write a poem
- Smile at everyone you meet
- Ask the cashier at the grocery store how his/her day is going
I am a list maker and I enjoy checking things off my list as the day progresses. This particular list put me in a positive mindset and I thought about all that I have to be grateful for today. I hope you find my Just For Today check list useful.

Those Morning Pages really produce such awesome ideas. Great list and great idea for everyday! Can you imagine what a beautiful day it would be each day? Lovely….
Thanks for your comments Naomi. Totally agree with you!
I LOVE this! These small things make such a big difference in living with positive intent.
Thanks for your comments Michelle!
What simple things to slow down the world and enjoy the ride a bit more! I’ve had an extremely busy week…these suggestions are just perfect. Thanks!
Thanks for your comments Deborah. It was indeed a good day:)
Thanks for the hug Michelle, how sweet of you! Morning Pages are transformative! They can totally turn my day around. It continues to amaze me how powerful they can be and I’ve been doing them for 16 years consistently:)
Thanks for your comments Kimberly. Isn’t it amazing how a simple hello or “how is your day going?” can transform someone’s day? So often, the other person will respond with “And how is your day going?” so it’s a win/win:)
What a lovely list Nancy. Having checked those things off I imagine you feel quite fulfilled, delighted, and altogether satisfied. A very good day indeed!
LOVE this Nancy! Here’s a hug for you. Don’t you think there is something so magical about morning pages? They can just turn into so much love. I’d love to hear how your day went on the 5th! <3
Dear Nancy, I especially love the reminder to talk to the cashier at the grocery. It always makes me happy to let them know I see them and care about them. And the smile a everyone i meet too. It makes a world of difference when someone smiles at me.
