What would happen if you shut off the television set and only watched it ½ the time you would normally? What if you began to keep a journal instead of watching television or movies? Begin today to capture your thoughts, and new ideas down on paper. Keeping a journal is thought provoking, relaxing and very enjoyable. What if you kept a journal of outstanding achievements, which occurred, in your daily life? A gratitude journal or a journal of goals and dreams or desires.

When was the last time you turned the radio off and experienced a moment of quiet with you for company? We live in a fast paced world of constant activity.

Have you taken any time recently to spend time with nature and in nature? How about a quiet walk through the park or woods? Rush, rush, rush and busy lives seems to be the norm for most of us however; a little peace and tranquility can do wonders for your soul.

Do you exercise daily, if not, how come? Are you too busy? Too busy doing what and for whom? Complete fulfillment, peace and happiness can only be achieved when your entire being is loved and appreciated. Physically you deserve to look and feel your best. Spiritually you must nurture yourself and re-connect with your higher self for a sense of harmony and complete love. Mentally, life can be challenging and the daily demands of caring for family, job and business responsibilities can seem overwhelming. Take a mental break several times each day. Read a paragraph from an inspiring book, review your affirmations, and take your child or pet for a walk. Bask in the beauty of nature or relax in a tubful of soothing water. Care for yourself as you do everyone else.

Is there a project you have been considering starting but never seem to have the time to do so? Make a decision to do that project today! Get it done now.

Think of just 2 projects that by completing will assist you to feel better and will allow you to feel a sense of accomplishment.

Think of an old friend or someone from your past that you would like to reconnect with. Who is that special someone you have been putting off having a conversation with but know it would do you and them a world of good to talk? Write that person or persons name down now. Next to their name write the date by which you will contact them. Now, right next to the date, write down the topic you would most like to discuss with this person. It could be one or several topics…write them all down now. Stop for a moment and think of the person you will soon be contacting. Envision the conversation-taking place now. How are you feeling? In your imagination create the exact scenario you desire to take place in this meeting. What is being said and by whom? Replay this conversation several times prior to your actual meeting or dialogue with the person (s) you wrote down on the paper. Begin today to practice creating outcomes of your choice. Create outcomes, which will be fair and enjoyable for all parties involved.

Stop and think for a moment about an activity or hobby you really enjoyed in your youth. What was the activity? Write it down on paper right now. When was the last time you were able to really enjoy this hobby or activity? If it’s been awhile, why? What is keeping you from enjoying this activity in the near future? Write the date down by which you will commit to experiencing the joy of this hobby or activity again. (Share personal example)

Life is about living! Are you really living your life to the fullest? If not, why not? If yes, how so? Are you waiting for permission to begin living your life? Whose permission are you waiting to receive? What will happen if that person never gives you permission to begin enjoying life? What then? Will you give yourself permission to enjoy life beginning today?
