Reflecting is something that I really enjoy doing ... as I'm hiking, driving, running, daydreaming, praying or pondering over coffee with a friend, I get things into perspective for myself and that helps me feel purposeful & fulfilled within my day, week & life in general.
In 2005, I created a document on my computer called "Anatomy of an Incredible Day"; the purpose of this document was to remind me of how I get to this "on purpose" state of being. I do things that are physically, spiritually and emotionally healthy; I focus on my priorities and I proactively engage in activities that I enjoy.
In my Anatomy of an Incredible Day document I list exercise at the top. Exercise is not my top life priority, but it is the healthy activity that I most easily let fall off of my list if I get busy. I printed my Anatomy of an Incredible Day and have it displayed in my laundry room because I find myself in there often. On a day when I might be feeling a little out of whack or blue, my Anatomy of an Incredible Day gives me reminders of what I might be able to do to get back on track and feel revitalized.
What can you do today to feel on-purpose, on track, revitalized or fulfilled? What is the Anatomy of an Incredible Day for YOU?
