[Even if you are not a nanny]

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Is this “word” rings a bell? If not, you have to watch the movie Mary Poppins!

I will assume that you know the famous nanny and how efficient she is at taking care of the children and the house.

So efficient, that I think we can learn a thing or two even if we don’t have any magic.

Lesson 1: sing

Yes, sing.

Let’s take the first lesson from Mary Poppins herself in the song “A spoonful of sugar”:

A robin feathering his nest

Has very little time to rest

While gathering his bits of twine and twig

Though quite intent in his pursuit

He has a merry tune to toot

He knows a song will move the job along

Singing will make you feel good, more energetic and ready to overcome the challenges of your day.

It doesn’t mean that you have to actually sing. You can sing in your head. Or even listen to some uplifting music.

Lesson 2: make it fun
