It was a heartbreaking day when I could only get 5 of these for a dollar instead of 6.

Your challenge for the negativity detox challenge last week was to give two genuine compliments before 10am each day. This was a way to get your "feel good hormone" levels up for the day. A way to make you feel great, as well as someone else.

How did it go? Making someone's day better always makes my day better.

Your challenge this week is to remember when. Remember back to a time when you didn't have so much negativity in your life. Remember a time when you were at your happiest.

Why was that?

What were you doing?

Who were you surrounded by?

Where did you work?

What was your average day like?

The goal is to get back to a time when you didn't have so many negative influences in your life. Next, you need to try and recreate as much of that life as possible.

Is there an old friend you need to re-connect with?

Do you need to streamline your day so it is not jam packed with activities?

Take a good look at your current life and decide what needs to change.

Obviously we can't all go back to the kid free, no job college years. Back when stress meant Ramen noodles had just gone up from 10 to 15 cents. But we can all make changes to simplify and improve our lives.
