So… what do YOU need today?
What will absolutely brighten your day?
Fill your soul? Lighten your load?
Spark a fire?
Ignite your creativity?
What would it take to go do that? What would you or someone else have to do to make that happen? Spring is all about fresh life, hope, joy… Our life is ours to create, to curate, and to actually live in abundantly!
Sounds easy, right? Maybe for some. But in case you are like me and struggle with this at first, I want to share a mind mapping exercise I use to make this happen each year.
I start by putting each of my life’s main categories (finance, career, family, spiritual etc.) on paper, then I develop 2-3 key action items for each one of them to ensure I achieve my personal goals or dreams. My new addition to this exercise today is asking: Where can I add joy, – or, what would brighten my days? – in each area? For example, instead of “spend more time with my family,” perhaps I could expand that to “embark on a Saturday road trip with my sister by the end of May.”
I’d love to hear your ideas!
Here’s to a great week and the best spring ever – let’s make it so!
FABULOUS IDEA!!! WHENEVER I want to bring joy in my day or brighren rhings up for the moment….I always start thinking about what I am grateful…. AND remember to praise God for my blessings! It is hard to be “down” when I am grateful. Gratefulness is a sure fire way of bringing joy!!!
