  1. Count your blessings. <\/b>Upon getting out of bed in the morning, name five things you\u2019re grateful for. It could be the running water of your shower, the nourishing breakfast you\u2019ve eaten or the time you have before work to spend with your spouse, children, and pets.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Treat others like you\u2019d like to be treated. <\/b>Always choose kindness over being right. Give other people the benefit of the doubt when they appear rude or distracted because you have no idea what their day has been like.<\/span><\/li>\n

  4. See challenges as opportunities. <\/b>Find a way to turn a situation around quickly by accepting obstacles as challenges. See it as an opportunity for greatness.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Know that the past and future aren\u2019t what matters. <\/b>Focus on today and more importantly, this minute. It\u2019s the most important moment right now.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
