Life moves so fast and things get lost in the shuffle. There are things that we miss or don’t get done for one reason or another and it impacts us accordingly, both short term and long term.
Pause for a moment and think about how yesterday was; how today is going. Maybe at the point in time you’re reading this post, your work day hasn’t yet started. So, in that case, what do you want today to look like? What tasks do you want to complete today? Would it look like any other, regular, run of the mill day, or would it be focused on a particular thing?
If you could wave a magic wand and create your ideal day, what exactly would it look like? What things would you want to accomplish? It would be my guess that the things you name here would be directly in line with your values and possible a few goals that you haven’t worked toward or that you feel are out of your reach.
Continue to wave that magic wand and think about the priority that each one of those things has for you. Now, take things a step further and think about areas other than work. Think about family, friends, health, and finance and determine the things you would want to accomplish in those areas on your idea day. Now, before you put down that magic wand, determine when you will do each of those things over the course of the day.
Fast forward to tomorrow. Think once again about how yesterday was. What did you accomplish and how did it make you feel? If you were able to accomplish the things that you created inside of your ideal day, you would be elated! You would feel a true sense of accomplishment and excitement for the day that lies ahead of you.
What would your life look like if you were able to create your ideal day, every day of your life? What would be possible? You do have the ability to create and live your ideal day every day of your life. You don’t have to put down the magic wand. The power is in your hands.
