6. Dream-n-do.
Take some time to see yourself in the next five years. Is it in your dream home, owning your own business, wearing Manolos? Great. Then browse through the web or talk to someone that has it all—that’ll have you steps closer toward your dream life and who doesn’t want to think about that?

Getting through your daily to-do list can often get you in robot mode, making you overlook or feel burdened with what really counts as living. Who would have thought it would seem like a chore to return your childhood friend’s call, for instance? Slow down, put “stuff” aside and live the moment, in this case, with the people that know you best.

8. Space out.
Now that it’s nighttime, part two of your “just laying there” is due. Use fifteen minutes to not think about anything pressing. Let your mind wonder and wander. Imagination keeps us alive.

9. Let it go.
A quarrel with your significant other, an annoying conversation with your mom, a mistake you made at work—let it go. Take it easy on yourself and others or else you’ll never get the sleep you need for the next good day.

10. Create a “props” list.
Take after Letterman and wrap up your day making a top 10 list—of gratitude. Whether it’s giving yourself props for completing that annoying thing or thanking the universe for the perfect parking spot you got during rush hour, keep a journal of these daily ten lists. There’s no better way to start the next day than to end the one before thinking how good it was.
