Sprout wings! Imagine you have angel wings upon your back. Perhaps even enlist yourself in the angelic secret service. Every where you go act like an angel; undercover of course. Open a door for someone, smile at a child, do random acts of kindness and don't tell anyone . . shhh!
Let yourself come alive. Breathe! So many of us are such shallow breathers. We need to let ourselves breathe in the breath of life in order to experience it fully. Full inhales, full exhales, not only oxygenate our bodies but release tensions, and yes, even purify our souls! It all works together - remember your built in inner yoga ;)
Comb out the thoughts of who you think you are and replace them with thoughts that you are an all powerful divine being, created by a perfect source with whom you have access to at all times.
Listen to your feelings and like a child, question every feeling with "why do I feel this way?" without judgement, without worry. Then ask yourself "Is it true?" and "do I still need or want to feel this way?"
Sit outside and commune with nature. Look at the trees as the wind blows. Notice the beauty of perfection in all the things that nature has created. Let it remind you that it was created all on its own in perfection. No part of a tree or a flower has been created because of something man did. Reflect this upon yourself and how you were created. Marvel at it.
Allow yourself to be a child again. Do something that lets you "play". Skip, sing, draw, color, something that will just allow you to "be".
Laugh. Find something to laugh at; yourself, a joke, a funny movie. Laughing allows the emotions to lift from suppression to joy.
Don't take yourself so seriously. Our ego's tell us we need to figure out things, do things. Let yourself just be and don't make judgments about what you "should" be doing, or where you "should" be or even "how" you should be.
Let life flow through you. Too many of us try and stop something from happening because maybe we find that we don't like it. Notice how your body feels when something happens that you don't like. Even physically, we can feel our bodies tighten and tense. We are trying to fight the force of nature. Take your body tensing as a cue, breathing in deep and letting it go. More than likely there is nothing you can do in the specific moment to change the situation - more than likely it's already happened.
Smile at life. Enjoy life while it's here. How many times have you heard people who have been near death come back and say how precious they feel their life is and start to enjoy it more. Life is a gift. Treat it like one. You are a gift. Treat yourself like one. Everyone you see is a gift - even the nasty, crabby people. Let everyone and everything you see be a gift . . . remember, it's about how you view your world that matters most.
