Mozart music plays in the background as I settle in to write you this note. The announcer comes on and says, “I hope you’re having a perfect Monday!” What does your perfect Monday look like? How about your perfect week? Are you living it? If not, why not?
How much of your day is spent doing things you feel you should be doing rather than things you want to do?
Are you so busy that there’s no time for simple pleasures, like a walk in the woods, a phone call with a friend, a nap when you’re tired?
Do you put everyone else’s needs ahead of your own only to feel resentful for never getting to do the things you enjoy?
If any of this resonates with you, I invite you to close your eyes, take three slow, long, deep breaths, tune into your heart and ask yourself, “What does my perfect Monday look like?” Start with the moment you wake up until you go to bed at night. What would you do? What would you NOT do? Who would you be with? What would you eat? What would you wear? And most importantly…how would this day make you feel?
You create your life experiences by the choices you make. For instance, you’re busy because you choose to be busy. Where can you say no? Where you can delegate? What can you delay or let go of completely?
If you’re not making choices that bring you joy, it’s time to start making new choices. But of course, the choice is yours. ❤️
