I have been following a plan since June 1st to make this summer the BEST EVER. 2 weeks till September, and there are only 2 missions left to complete the BEST YOU EVER SUMMER 2009.

MISSION 1 -
Savour every single day, every moment until August 31st. Soak up whatever you can. Do something new. Ziplining, hike a mountain, swim outside, waterslides, go to the PNE, take a new yoga class - anything to make the next 2 weeks the best you have ever lived.

If you are going through hell right now, and you are in a dark place - you could work on gratitude for any possible thing, and try to get out of the hole and realize that this next 2 weeks of August 2009, will never happen again! This is your time to create something new!
SHINE BRIGHTER.

MISSION 2 -
Every day until August 31st, do something nice for someone else. Without expecting anything in return. And you don't have to tell anyone about what you are doing.

It could be something simple. Here are some examples:
Complimenting someone
Giving someone a flower
Helping an elderly person
Opening the door for someone
Treating someone to a coffee/tea
Taking someone to a yoga class
Being kind to someone you dislike
Saying hello to strangers
Paying attention to someone you neglect
Writing your parent(s) a letter of thanks
Telling someone how much you appreciate them
Giving a homeless person your change
Letting someone in front of you in a line up, or in traffic

K - you get the point, right?
There are hundreds of things you can do - and your MISSION is just pick ONE every day until August 31st.

That will complete the BEST YOU EVER SUMMER 2009.

I will be following the missions as well - I already did my nice thing today...I was an ear for someone who really wanted to talk, even though I was in a rush and had to go somewhere - I let them talk until they were finished. (Usually I would have said "I have to go now." But today I just let them talk.)

Doing something nice for SOMEONE ELSE with no expectations and not wanting anything in return.

So, good luck on your missions until August 31st!

Savour the summer and do things for others!

Peace out
Andrea
