Hello, this is Laverne Cox. I'm an actress, producer and host of the Laverne Cox show.

Do you like your tea with lemon or honey? History making Broadway performer Alex Newell.

When I sing the Holy Ghost shows up, that's my ministry and I know that well about me.

That's the tea honey. Whoever it is, you can bet we get into it.

My guest and I, we go there every single time. I can't help it.

Listen to the Laverne Cox show on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast.

Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.

Good morning. This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast Podcast.

Today's tip is that you can make what you know will be a good day, even better.

By tweaking your schedule to add more good things and removing things that you won't want to do.

These almost perfect days can then become deep memories thanks to your careful cultivation.

So hopefully anyone who listens to this podcast knows how important it is to plan in things that you are looking forward to.

Maybe it's tickets to a concert in a few months or to an exciting sporting event next week.

Positive anticipation makes life more exciting and hopeful.

Honestly, on bad days, it can be what makes us get out of bed.

But if you know something good is coming up, by being strategic, you can make the whole day even more exciting.

We all have some discretion over our schedules and how much effort we put into planning good things.

I'd argue that it can be fun to put even more good stuff on an already good day so that you go from happiness to happiness all day long.

So for instance, let's say you get massages every two months or so.

And you also have tickets to a favorite band on a particular night.

You could try scheduling your massage for the day you have the concert.

So as you are relaxing on the massage table, you are also excited about the concert, happening in a few hours.
