What is your idea of a perfect day? Imagine a normal day which is not a holiday and take a look at what would constitute a perfect day for you.  Look at the day in detail imagining what you would do from getting up in the morning to going to sleep at night.  Live through the day in the present tense and in detail and write down your ideas.  Think about what you are doing, where you are and who you are spending time with. How close are you to achieving this ideal day in your normal everyday life? What is one thing you can do today to get you closer to your ideal life?  The first step to happiness is knowing what you want in life.  Try this happiness experiment and see if you can come closer to living your perfect day every day of the week.
