An Ideal Life
What if your ideal life could begin here and now?
Well, it can.
Envision how daily life could, should, and ought to look like.
Have you ever said if only?
“If only, I had more time,
I would do so much!
I would get that new job.
Write that book.
Call my old friend.
Clean out my closet.
See the world.”
Yes, it’s hard to put in fruition. Daily responsibilities — work, kids, chores, Netflix’s , all get in the way.
But so worth it!
That imagined life indefinitely put off, creates painful regrets.
Someday is a fuzzy concept. A perfect future time when dreams come true.
Let me say with all kindness — someday potentially will never come.
Nothing is guaranteed in our short time on this beautiful planet.
We only have now.
And Now is a beautiful place to be.
- Breathing in and out
- Feeling the sun and breeze caress the skin.
- Family, Friends
- A juicy Apple.
- A Bird gliding freely overhead.
This is life , it’s happening every day, every moment.
If we don’t pause and take stock — we will miss it.
Getting the ideal life moving NOW starts with a few simple steps.
1.) Envision what your ideal everyday life looks like.
Watch it unfold in your head like a pleasant movie.
Allow a smile to tease your lips, your eyes as you picture being on this other plane.
2.) Soak it in.
What does it look like. How does it feel?
3.) Put it to paper.
Write it down, chart that day with as much detail as possible.
From the moment your eyes open, to when your head hits the pillow at night.
Include any and all details.
Use lists, charts, or a vision board.
Create an every day that brings joy and self satisfaction.
Once you have it all down , the fun begins.
4.) Put it in motion.
Make it a reality.
Incorporate that lovely day into present life.
A few details added each day.
Much of what we long for can be right now. It is about mindset and determination. We all have it in us. A change in outlook is utterly freeing.
Sweep out clutter that takes your joy away.
You may say “If only I could! But there is so much to do”
I get it. I have also lived that life! So busy working and getting things done, hours, days, weeks and more pass. Suddenly you look around and say, how did this happen?
It IS possible to revamp your daily life, put dreams in motion — NOW.
Cast away preconceived ideas that hold you back.
As Nike says so famously, Just do it.
“If only” is an excuse that avoids change, holding you back from the joy only your dreams can bring.
Although there is comfort in norms, they cause one to lose sight of life’s adventurous, wonderful nature. If there is longing for something else, something that makes your heart race and sing, it is worth the time to make it happen.
There is a new movie out — Mrs. Harris goes to Paris. It is a beautiful, joyous, story of a woman who is spurred to change up her life. She goes for what her heart desires. She activates change, takes some chances, it is lovely to watch. It is a heartwarming story and it encourages others too to act on their desires.
In summary,
Each of us has one, precious life. Break out of those routines that keep us in a tight spin. Make the bold choices to love your life, yourself NOW. It is never to late to begin.
We put the gas mask on ourself first. It is not selfish, it is making your life a priority so you can be your best self for YOU and those who are most important to YOU.
Thank you,
🙋🏽♀️be well!
