Self Care- Create your own Fireworks
Create Some Fireworks...
"I think most people have a lot more fireworks in them
than people give them credit for." - Tom Peters
"Find Your Fireworks!" - Kevin Eikenberry
STOP! STOP! Write down 3 things you could do to
make your day fantastic. Right now! What have you got?
Weaving a basket? Shooting some baskets? Reading the
rest of that novel? Calling a friend? Going dancing?
Something more personal or more zany? Great. Do it
tonight (if not right now.) I know, you've got tons to do
(you ought to see my desk...) Even if you only spend 15
minutes - do it now. It will make the rest of your day
more enjoyable and more productive. If someone asks
you why you're doing it - tell them a friend told you too,
then have them read this. After you've created some
fireworks for yourself, why not help someone else get a
bang themselves? How can you make someone else's day
brighter? A co-worker? Your spouse? Kids? The bus
driver? Find someone whose day you can brighten! Share
your fireworks with them, and everyone both of you
come in contact with all day will be glad you did. I'd
write more but I'm off to ride my bike with my son . . .
and find some fireworks!
