Word of the Day: Pragmatic

Pragmatic (prag-MAT-ik) -- from the Greek for "to do/act/perform" -- means realistic or matter-of-fact; useful in practice, not just theory.

Example: "It's easy to [use little pleasures you already have in your life as rewards to motivate yourself] once you recognize that these little pleasures are blessed gifts and you are lucky to be able to enjoy them. Be happy about that. Use them pragmatically."
