People tend to admit to being an optimist, while pessimistic people tend to not want to admit their pessimism.

Two thousand Americans were shown a glass that was exactly filled half way. 58% said the glass was half full. 16% answered half empty and the other 26% couldn't decide. Despite this, most considered themselves to be optimistic people.

Here are the top 6 things people do to set the stage for a "good day";

Start with a cup of coffee. A must in my world.

Getting enough sleep which is a major challenge for most working people.

A morning shower. Again a must to really wake up and feel good.

Cranking some tunes while getting ready or in the car on the way to work.

Having a breakfast that's a little on the light side instead of weighing yourself down with a heavy breakfast.

Listen to Baxter & Laura every weekday morning. (A shameless plug)
