Celebrate! Create Your Very Own WOW List

What in repparttar world is a "WOW List"? It's a tool (a reminder we humans sometimes need) to help us put repparttar 130814 joy back in our lives. Maybe it's a tool to help us realize how much we really have, or to remember what brings a big smile to our faces.

How do you create a WOW List? First, purchase a small booklet, like an assignment pad or journal. Glue something to repparttar 130815 cover to add color. Add a picture you've taken, a cut-out of a card you've saved - let your imagination run wild!

Start your WOW List by taking notice when you are doing, seeing, or thinking about something that brings a smile to your face. Write those things in your pad. When you feel your heart smile, when you say WOW or AW or whatever YOUR word might be, write that item in repparttar 130816 pad and put a star by it. Continue on this path for at least a month.

After that, take a very good look at your WOW List. Look for patterns. Look to see what people, places or things to add "more of" into your life. And if you're in business or thinking about upgrading or changing careers, see if you can find things to add into your life professionally, too.
