When your life becomes a reflection of who you are, what do you do? Can you see how each choice, including every micro choice, brought you to exactly where you are today? The choices that you didn’t make closed doors. The choices that you allowed others to make created a path. The choices that you blindly made still had an impact.
Every morsel of food that you put in your body has an impact. Are you mindful about what you put into your body? Do you have joy and excitement when you eat or do you do it on the run? It is not only what the food is, but your attachment to it.
When you get up in the morning, what is your first thought? Oh God, here we go again? Or, this is so exciting.
When you go on vacation or do something special for yourself, do you start the day the same way or do you have a different response? If you have a different response, then you know that you can experience life differently.
So this week, just notice your level of enjoyment or lack thereof when doing what you do during the day. And then see what your options are. Do you feel like you should change aspects of your life? Or do you think you just need to approach aspects of your life with a different attitude? You can either change the actual aspects of your life or how you choose to engage with them.
Constantly changing your environment while seeking joy may not be the best approach, because if you cannot find contentment within your current life, then seeking it outside of yourself may not be the solution. Maybe go within and find appreciation for the little things so that you can begin to vibrate into a different place without having to actually make any outward changes this week.
