I stopped hitting snooze on the alarm clock. Actually, I have stopped using the alarm clock, period - it's a back up only. I usually wake on my own twenty minutes before I have the alarm set.
Unplugging from everything when I'm on the bus or walking into the office. I'd forgotten how nice it was to not have something always playing in my ears. Of course, when annoying culinary art student boys sit behind me in the morning talking about their exploits in booze and partying the night before, I put the buds back in.
I eat ice cream every Saturday. Only Saturday.
I use the childish "you can't have dessert until you finish your peas" rule for everything. I can't read until I write, I can't sit until I finish mopping the floor, etc. I don't do lists, but this seems to work for me.
Stopping and actually taking in the awesome beauty of where I live. When I first moved here, I couldn't stop staring at the mountains. I lost that, but now, it returns.
I soak my feet in essential oils (peppermint, ooh tingly!), Epsom salt and hot water, give myself a quick pedicure and a reward to my feet for working so hard all week.
I do not go to the grocery without a firm idea what to buy (I do do lists here).

Snuggle with kitties. Play with kitties.
