An artist creates a new picture on a canvass or piece of paper.

They do not cover over what they have painted on a previous canvas.

In life, we all too often go through the stressful routine we are up against just to get through the day even if every day gets to be the same.

One way to break that habit is to think of each day as a new canvas.

• Before getting out of bed, think of three things you are grateful for.
• As you fully awake, see in your minds eye a blank canvass on which to create your day.
• Routines are good – nothing wrong with Starbucks in the morning if that’s what you like – but create a new routine to add to your canvass.  Maybe you stop at a different location.  Perhaps you order something different.  Maybe you brew your own.
• Look for every opportunity to do something different even if it is routine.
• And sometime during the day, splash a lot of color on your canvass.  Surprise others.  Surprise yourself.

At the end of the day look back on how you created a day that was different from the others.

When something great happens – you get a promotion, your child is born, etc. – you remember these days because they are not routine.

No one ever sits on their deathbed wishing they had lived each day of their lives the same way.
