How’s it going with you? Well, aside from being a tiny bit uncomfortable about my unknown future direction, I’m doing pretty good. Since I started to focus on enjoying my journey, I’ve definitely felt much better as a whole.
Every day I make it a ritual to go to the coffee shop and have some quite ‘me-time’. While I’m reading I create a ‘to-do’ list, respond to any texts, take phone calls and jot down some thoughts (usually about the meaning of life). I must be the weirdest person. If someone spent time watching me they’d wonder how my head works. It’s definitely random.
This morning, I was reading Wayne Dyers book, ‘Stop The Excuses,’ while creating my list of things to do today. I’m not big into excuses but I thought it might be interesting. I also created a page listing what I need to believe to be the person I want to be. Yes – it’s a random list, but the book and my desire to enjoy my journey of life more seemed to spur this action.
My to-do list looked like this:
- Send thank you to Ian (Solicitor)
- Email Virginna about how to create books on Lulu
- Feedback to Iain how he can improve his website (needs better benefits, opt-in form and value add to offer)
- Buy tights
- Book meeting with Olga to discuss PPC
- Fit in 9 holes of golf? Need to book tee time
- Thrash out new website idea – teaching people how to use their skills in writing to make money online
And my “What do I have to believe to be the person I know I can be” list looked like this:
- I wake up excited
- I know how to attract anything I want
- I enjoy brainstorming new ideas and then rolling them out or involving others to help me
- I’m living proof that making money and enjoying the journey is possible – I love my life
- I know that my daughter is getting lots of love and enjoying her path – she’s great!
- Making money is fun, easy and rewarding
- I meet amazingly wonderful like-minded people
- Every day is a new and exciting adventure
- I have perfect vision
- I’m enjoying the present moment
- I believe in infinite possibilities
- I’m allowing great stuff to come into my life – new friends, fun events, great memories, love, laughter, happiness, excellent times with friends and family
- I have inspirational dreams and fulfilling sleep
- I find it easy to focus on everything that is good
- I am full of vibrant energy and my physical body is healthy and happy
- My skin looks young, healthy, energised and smooth
- I have it all – fulfilling work, loving and fun family, excellent friends, adventure, laughts and new experiences
- I know what I want and I know how to get it in a way that is fulfilling
- I’m conscious of my thoughts and I know that if I don’t feel right, I need to look at my thoughts and see what adjustments need to be made.
So…In my transition from leaving my companies and not knowing what I’m going to do in the future…I’m reading, letting my to-do list flow in addition to writing things that help me to determine who I want to be and how I want to feel.
I’m letting my life flow more. I’m not boxing certain tasks into time segments. In other words, I’m not taking 15 minutes to do my ‘to-do’ list, 30 minutes to read and 1 hour to write. I’m just flowing with whatever feels right. Heck, my to-do list is normally broken into separate work and personal tasks, but now I’m combining them all together.
So…I suppose I’m combining my daily journey into something more whole and following my heart more than a routine or some kind of pragmatic schedule. It’s weird but it feels good so I must be on the right track.
