In this article: "Hollywood North Canada: How Do You Set the Tone of Your Day in a Complicated World?" we explore some thoughts on how one could start the day energized and relaxed amid a complicated world.

We all have our daily activities. And that could form part of complacency.

We can be satisfied by enjoying simple things.

Who does not want to look forward to spending a day in an uncomplicated world, right?

In other words, who does not want to simplify things?

We can just be accustomed to things that make our day. And why not?

The truth, however, is, we all live in a complex world. How does one thrive in such a reality?

You wake up each day. Perhaps you go to work or school. Or attend some workshops or meetups.

Then, at some point, you would find that spending the day can be redundant. Although at times, you can find excitement in the things that you do. Others can find their day exhausting after a hard day’s work. 

Well, that, of course, would depend on what kind of activities you do.

Other times could just signal we should be in waiting mode.

And of course, there is family.

So, how does one find time to relax and de-stress?

One could guess the good thing about what people in the entertainment industry do is the fact that they are surrounded by things and activities in the world of media and various forms of entertainment.

That would include books, films, and music. 

And one could find oneself as though they are in awe as they easily get entertained.

That can be somewhat incredible.

And apart from making them creative, they also get to experience fun.

How could that not be cool, right?

At the end of the day, one would feel relaxed. And energized.

Life can, after all, be vibrant.  

We can paint colours on it.

The shade and palette that you would choose can help set the tone of your day.

We can decide on that. Choices can change.

The point is, we all make decisions. 

How you want to spend your day is one of those.
