Do you want to instantly improve your day? If you were to break your day into parts, you would easily see that each day is comprised of many different little segments of time. There is the period of time where you are getting dressed and ready for work, your morning breakfast or coffee time, the commute to work, the morning conference call, etc. … the list of daily events goes on and on.
As we move through our day, we may just go from one thing to the next and not really ever have the opportunity to slow down. We are focused on doing whatever is in front of us in the best way possible and there usually is so much going on that it is easy to get sucked into all the activity.
Is This Really How We Should Move Through Our Day?
Despite the fact that it is by all means important to focus on one thing at a time and do each thing to the best of our ability, should we really allow ourselves to get completely consumed with the tasks we are completing? Isn’t there something more we need to be aware of as we move through our day?
Yes, it is great if we are able to maintain a lot of focus and produce high quality results, but it is equally important that we are also able to have a great frame of mind as we move through the day. At all times we should be aware of all the great things around us.

In addition to being productive, we also want to feel happy, content and at our best.
That means we have to do something more.
We need to focus some of our attention on conjuring up and maintaining positive emotions and feelings throughout the day. And, a great way to be able to consistently do this is to take notice of the little things we may usually overlook because we are consumed with what we are doing.
There is Something Great To Notice Every Moment
There is something great for us to notice every single moment of the day and the key is to be aware of exactly what that is as we move through our day. Often times it is the little things we may miss out on enjoying and appreciating … the beauty of a sunrise, the smile and laughter of your child, the kindness of the stranger that opens the door, the friendly and happy receptionist, the great taste of your morning tea or latte, the peaceful commute to work, the list goes on and on as long as you are looking.
There really is nothing better than being able to continually notice and appreciate all the great things that are always around you. When some of your attention is focused on doing this as you move through your day, great feelings just naturally flow and build on one another. It is the positive domino effect at work and each good feeling helps to create the next one and the next one until you have a day filled with great moments since all moments are connected.
And, that is really what it is all about.
You move through your day with a lot of productivity and you just feel great because you are able to appreciate the things around you. The greatest thing is that you can literally choose to instantly put this skill to work whenever you notice yourself falling into a slump or sucked into the hustle and bustle of life.
Don’t go through your day on autopilot or be so consumed with what you are doing that you don’t notice anything else. Every time you can remember, be aware of the great things around you. Choose to tune into all the things you can appreciate about the day and the people around you. You will be amazed at the positive impact this will have on your day … that is the alternaview.
