MIXING IT UP
I had a client call today where I shared with her a practice that has been helping me to create more happiness each day and we all know that is not easy right now as we face this global pandemic. I know it’s helping me tremendously and it sounds like my client is excited to give it a try…
Okay, so if you’ve ever worked with me then you know I’m a big fan of morning routines that center you for your day. A few weeks or so ago, I was in the midst of my morning routine and heard the subtle guidance to “mix it up!” Basically, I was getting a “message” from the Universe…
The outcome was this. We are not in normal times, the way we move through each day has changed, so in order for us to feel joyful, happy, and more fulfilled we must make sure to do something different or new every day to inspire these emotions within us.
HERE ARE A FEW WAYS TO MIX IT UP:
-
Wake up and stretch first instead of having coffee and reading.
-
Play board games or cards while eating a pizza dinner.
-
Set timers and dance to loud music every hour for ten minutes.
-
Take your office outside in the yard or balcony instead of inside all day.
-
Take a walk or run using a different route (bring “the good” camera and take a few nature pictures)
-
Make breakfast for dinner.
-
Only do social media twice a day.
-
Place flowers all over your house (check out my Instagram story tomorrow to see mine)
-
Do gratitude journaling all-day! (this one creates ongoing good feelings)
-
Leave notes all over the house for others to find that have positive messages in them :-)
My personal and favorite Idea that I got this morning is to blow bubbles inside the house today! Now I’m on a mission to go find me some bubbles to blow! ( ...Amazon Order )
The point is if you mix things up everyday big or small you’ll create pockets of excitement, joy, and happiness. You will relieve boredom and sabotaging behaviors that run high at times like this making you feel stuck and lost.
If we follow the guidance that “Happiness is a choice and Life is what we make of it”… then now would be a good time to create daily happiness wherever you can.
Happy mixing and enjoy the outcome.
