How about these suggestions from Ned. Please check out his blog by following the link. http://nedhickson.wordpress.com/
1) Call your dog a completely random name: Aside from giving your cat a good
laugh (something cats resist at all cost), it will demonstrate a good lesson
we can all learn from, which is that what you say isn’t nearly as important
as how you say it. Regardless of what name he is called, your dog will come
running with unabashed joy as long as you say it with love. And maybe a
biscuit. But mostly love.
2) Refer to yourself in the third person for the entire day: In addition to
the obvious bonus of making co-workers uncomfortable, it will cause you to
slow down enough to see how much your conversations revolve around yourself.
If your name doesn’t come up much, you’re either a very empathetic person
and not the least bit self centered, or quite possibly extremely boring.
Good to know in either case.
3) Make a list of 20 things you never plan to do: This will give you a true
sense of accomplishment because, once you are finished making your list, you
can immediately cross everything off. For example, my list starts with: I
will never be an overachiever.
4) Propose marriage to a complete stranger: It’s a given that the person you
ask will decline your offer — unless it’s one of the Kardashians or Jennifer
Aniston. But assuming it isn’t, there is virtually no risk of any actually
matrimony taking place. So why do this? It will make someone’s day no matter
how much they may pretend it isn’t.
If you’re already married?
Propose to them again — for the same reasons.
And if you’re already married to one of the Kardashians or Jennifer Aniston?
You should’ve put that on your list of 20 things you’d never do.
5) Call your doctor to tell them you’re feeling great: Not only will this
make it easier should you, at some point, ask for a Medical Marijuana
prescription, more importantly it will give you a sense of empowerment
knowing you were able to make your own diagnosis even without a fancy
schmancy degree.
Actually, come to think of it, the marijuana prescription is probably a
good enough reason.
