Because of tapping on a daily basis and becoming so much more aware of my own body and its joys and discomforts and feelings, I had a brilliant idea.
Experts say to “Create your day in advance.” I had been doing that for many years. Before attending and graduating from law school, I made sure that I created the room and the time and the intent for success. I had also written a list of goals that probably were like a bucket list.
And after mulling over and reading Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project, I felt I was able to feel what is more ME. How am I to expereince and see life and relationships in a more fruitful and relaxed way, and also a way that is my unique way of seeing the world? For example, I happen to LOVE taking notes. Rubin mentions that as one of her fond things to do. I also find it relaxing and even focusing and increasinng my creativity.
What else? I find my drawing and gardening so ME; I return back from a workshop and that is all I feel like doing, sit and draw or paint or weed or plant…… Those two activities bring me back to being the unqie person I am meant to be…..and they give me back a happy spirit that emerges even after helping clients with their woes of life.
Yet it was an AHH, AHH moment when I realized: No more To-Do list, but instead concentrate of my To-Feel List. I plan to feel good and happy. I intend now to have more time focused on the things that are unqiuely my spirit and loves. So, call Regina, YES! Grab the protractor and draw a new geometric design, YES! Hug my partner, YES! Call my children and rejoice in their voices, YES!
And after a week of concentrating more on my feelings, guess what? I can tell my whole body is saying, “Good deal! Way to go woman! Enjoy your uniquess for all it offers!
