Hi guys and gal’s!! My name is Abby Stephens. I’m a 15-year-old singer/songwriter who’s been performing in Nashville for the past 3 years. I aspire to make everyday the best day ever and wanted to share some ideas on how you can too!
Here’s my top 10 tips to have the best day ever!
- Find something that makes you happy. Whether it’s sports, music, entertainment, school, etc. For me, it would be music.
- Take the things your passionate about and work it into your daily routine.
- I listen to music every-day for motivation, so I recommend you make your own playlist, something that can change your bad days into good ones.
- Make sure you treat yourself to some of your favorite foods!!
- Be present and appreciate the little things.
- Hang out with people that make you happy! Find your squad!
- Plan ahead so you’re not stressed. There’s no need to be overwhelmed with things other than your main priorities.
- Focus on the positive things in life and not the negatives! A positive attitude can turn your day around completely!
- Take time for yourself, even if it’s just a minute sitting in the sun or taking a deep breath.
- Now that you have nine ways to have the best day ever, the last step is to go out and help others! Open the door for someone or give them a compliment.
You never know, you could make it their best day ever!
