“The first step to getting
the things you want out of life is
this: decide what you want.” ~ Ben Stein
Good
morning!
Over the past
few months, I have been very intrigued by the
notion of creating the “ideal day.”
I
have been going through many shifts in my life; my company has moved
our offices;
my schedule and commitments continue to change and unfold. Like many of you, my life
doesn’t really
contain a formula for a “typical day.”
It
is constantly in flux.
But I became
intrigued with the concept of building my own
ideal day. If it
were up to me (and it
is up to us!) what would my day look like?
How would it start?
What
activities would I make sure to include?
What steps would I take toward my goals?
Who would I spend my time with?
In essence: If I could build my life (which I
can) what blocks would I
choose to use as my foundation?
Interestingly,
if we don’t ask ourselves these questions, we
get whatever blocks are tossed in our path and make the most of them. When we take an active and
aware interest in
constructing our days, our weeks, our months, we move closer to our
ideal.
Your Turn:
Today,
spend some time doing a self-interview of your desires during this
season of
your life.
Today’s Affirmation: I
choose what I create in my life.
And as always, don't forget
to
start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is
going to
happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"
And when ending
your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do
to
make today matter?
