The bail-out... the roller-coaster stock market... all the bad news about the economy...

It's enough to send anyone into a panic.

But wait... you can fend off the frantic feelings about the economy by doing things throughout the day that make you smile, relax or laugh.

I do this everyday... and it keeps me upbeat.

Even better — you can do a lot of things to Find Your Daily Bliss — that are FREE!

Here are some examples.  I hope they brighten your day:

•  Lace up your gym shoes and take a walk or a run, and marvel at the reds, oranges and yellows of the changing leaves.
•  Head to the RiverWalk behind the GM Building downtown... the water, the city skylines, and the people watching are phenomenal.
•  Stroll through Eastern Market on a Saturday; behold the bounty of the Michigan harvests, the interesting people, the jammin' karaoke at Bert's on Russell Street.
•  MAKE some time to indulge your favorite activity—scrapbooking, rollerblading, tinkering with cars, volunteering at a hospital.
•  Write down 10 things that you're grateful for today (my list always includes a warm, safe place to sleep--you can be real basic with things we take for granted that are, sadly, luxuries for too many people around the world).
•  If you're stressed and unhappy with your situation today, write out a full page describing your dream life, and do one thing today that can help you get there (For example, if you want to start a business, start researching locations, product supply, a marketing plan.  Want to lose weight?  Go shopping for healthy fare).

If all else fails, remember, things could always be worse, and this too, shall pass.

Tired of bad news? Send me a good news story and I'll publish it in The Bliss Report. I’m a former Fox 2 news writer and a bestselling author.

As an expert on interracial families and biracial people, I was a guest on Montel with my first book, White Chocolate.
