Top 10 Days
Today, on the Virtual Retreat Zoom, I heard my friends Cassie and Sabrina share about their TOP 10 it got me thinking about my TOP 10 DAYS throughout my own life.
As I sat and wrote them down, Cassie had mentioned her INTENTIONALITY of CREATING a TOP 10 day when she went to NY for the first time. She said it's a TOP 10 day, even before it started! She said she was like a kid in a candy store with every new experience and I LOVED hearing her story. You could FEEL the excitement and have the experience with her and through her!
It reminded me,..what if, instead of just thinking about your life and what are YOUR TOP 10- what if you listed 5 and then, planned on creating your next 5?
Maybe your next Top 10 day is a moment of celebration during this holiday. Maybe it's you taking the time to THANK a loved one for being there for you.
Maybe you have a TOP 10 DAY because YOU actually CREATE IT.
Life happens TO YOU all the time, but what if your intention is that YOU CREATE how your day goes!? I'm not saying it's going to be PERFECT and no, it DOES NOT have to be even close. Maybe it's NO DIFFERENT from every year, but YOU are different.
YOU are kinder to yourself.
YOU are kinder to others.
YOU have more gratitude for WHAT IS, rather than what you WISHED it was.
The happiest people in the world don't get everything they want. Instead, they WANT for everything they already get.
That's happiness. That's how we create MORE joy in our life and we lack nothing because you see your life and the people in your life as a gift.
We don't know what tomorrow or next year brings so have INTENTIONALITY on this day. Right here. RIght now.
Btw, here's a Top 10 day for me. Just yesterday my niece Daleksa came over with her sweet family and we made puppy chow and later on, I had a virtual retreat kick off call with a really powerful message then it ended with me, watching Seinfeld while Eddie and Batman and Harvey all cuddled and napped on a chaise with me. We had no room to even move & I loved it.
What's a top 10 day that you have or plan on having? It doesn't have to be EXTRAORDINARY, but you can be more intentional in noticing the gratitude you have.
