Create a great day in this Winter Wonderland

The weather outside might be frightful, but you can decide to do something inspiring today to bring you closer to living your dreams, creating a fulfilling life and a successful career.  Here are 5 ideas  for a snow day:

Bake something , even if you are not a baker.  Cooking is a creative activity and can get your mind going in new directions.

Call friends and family members to check in on how they are surviving the blizzard.  Making connections is the greatest gift you can give yourself and others.

Send an e-mail to connect with someone who could help move your career forward.  Whether you are looking for a new career or in a career that you enjoy, moving forward, learning and growing everyday will keep you competitive and inspired.

Do a good deed for someone.  Helping others takes our minds off of our own issues and can give us a new perspective on life.

Clean out clutter, both physically and mentally.  Since we can’t go anywhere in this weather, today is a great day to clean out that closet, that drawer or that basement corner.  Also, clean out that mental clutter by meditating, even if  for just 5 minutes.

Be safe, stay warm and be grateful for all that you have today.
