Have you ever experienced one of those days where everything comes so easily that it seems you’re in a happy version of The Twilight Zone? It could be around anything such as you’re the first person in the laundromat, so you can sing and dance in there like no one is watching or you get the prime spot in yoga class and then walk outside and Pop Chips is giving away free chips on the corner- I can’t be the only one these situations have happened to. If you haven’t experienced a “cool-breeze” type of day then you need some energy work done, because something isn’t right.

Recently, I experienced this type of day. On a chilly NYC winter day, Orande and I decided to walk around and go to an early evening movie. So I started out my morning early with a great workout, afterwards I began what is usually an exhausting drawn out process of detangling, washing and deep conditioning my hair, but somehow on this particular day it went faster (I know my natural hair ladies get this on every level). My outfit decision was effortless and for once I was ready on time! We took the subway downtown, which came as soon as we arrived on the platform AND got my favorite seats- the corner pocket two-seater. At the movie theater, we secured prime recliner seats- can you feel magic? It gets better- after the movie we strolled around a bit and caught the “luxury” bus uptown, we say it’s luxury b/c it’s Coach-esque- think clean, plush, recliner seats versus the usual dirty MTA bus, and even though it usually takes about an hour to get home it took probably 35-40 minutes. We came to the conclusion that the since it was late at night, the driver must’ve been ending is his shift because he took short cuts and didn’t even stop at the mandatory stops to pick up other patrons. I guess that’s why he asked us as we got on what stop we were going to- we were close to the end of his route. When we got off Orande said “That was a fast ride bro”, the drivers response “Yea man- big bus, cab service.” Indeed it was cab service. To end this portion of the evening, we ordered pizza and it was delivered 10 min after we entered the house. Pretty prefect, am I right?

Like I said earlier, these days don’t have to be around anything specific and it doesn’t even have to be a full day of karmic happenings. Make it easy on yourself, like arriving to work on time- when you’re usually late or completing a task you thought would take you longer than expected. Sometimes you just have to have a different outlook on your day for it go flow a little easier for you. For me it’s all about my mindset. If I know I have something planned for the next day that I’m not fully into, I may already be frustrated going to sleep, which only plays into my mood when I wake up. Therefore, I’m expecting the day to be off-center because I’ve already put in my mind it’s going to be that way. I set myself up. Life and adulting are hard enough, so why put more angst on ourselves? Give yourself a break once and a while and let it the good times roll!
