I subscribe to a daily quote off the Internet. There are many websites that give this free service, and I like to start my day with an inspirational quote.
Now I'm not a psychologist - more of an economist... but the power of a few succinct words can really change your mood. I guess it's a way of boosting one's spirits as well.
Stress busters come in all sorts of shapes and sizes though. Whether it be the few words that lift your day, or cuter ones, like little kids.
Spending some time with a little kid will put your whole life in perspective again. I often used to play with my downstairs' neighbours kids - they were so cute and adorable - in small doses ofcourse and when they weren't crying and needed a change. Then they'd be dumped back on their parents. But kids are really cute - the way they fight for their little toys, the way they hit the wall when they accidentally bump into it, the way they cry when they don't get their way. For little kids, the worst thing would be not getting to watch their cartoons, or fighting over a pencil at school.
This weekend I spent some time with my batchmate's family and their adorable little baby boy. He is so cute - He calls me Massi and has the cutest little lisp for everything he says. Massi becomes Mathii. He refers to himself as "Baby" and loves to play cricket. He's very brave as well - doesn't cry at all if he falls. And if he does fall, he just hits the ground as hard as he can and is up and running again. He wakes up smiling and sleeps smiling. All in all a very happy little baby.
You just feel like smiling when he smiles at you. He's just adorable that way.
