What is it that you do that makes you feel connected?
Today I’m writing about the idea of sticking to what makes us feel connected, free, and balanced.
Have you ever noticed that life can get so busy that you forget about doing the small things that make you feel so good? Often times I can get so caught up in the to do’s of life that I forget about the things that anchor me and create happiness within my life. For me, if I take some time each day to meditate or go out to visit new places and meet new people where I am in a totally new environment then I feel connected and on the cutting edge of life. I’ve even discovered lately that when I put on my running shoes and listen to Wayne Dyer as I run that it also sparks that same feeling of happiness, freedom, and confidence throughout my day.
As soon as I start feeling discouraged or disconnected with my life I quickly realize that I have stopped being consistent with these small daily practices that make me feel so alive.
Now, even if I did those things everyday, I’m still going to face challenging times, but my willingness to stick with what works for me, even through those challenging times lightens me up to see the green grass on the other side of the fence. Or in real life language, generates feelings of confidence and stability to keep you moving into more successful growth.
I’m sure your thinking right now about the things you do that make you feel so alive. Is it playing an instrument, journaling, designing something, listening to music, exercising, or something else? The key is finding what you know instantly connects you to feeling free and light and then making it an everyday routine.
You make eating an absolute must everyday right? Because your body needs the food and you crave the delicious tastes. Well, just as your body needs food, so does your soul need the time and habits that fuel it to be more in a peaceful, loving state. You can achieve anything you put your mind to if you stay the course of what drives your inner happiness and joy.
Make a dedication to yourself. Write down a few things (1-3) that you absolutely know gives you the feeling of peace and happiness and then sculpt your daily schedule around these things. Don’t let yourself slip, cause the moment you start making excuses is the moment 1 day turns in to 1 week, and then 1 week turns into 1 month, and so on and so on.
Designing your life around these few, but powerful habits will align your energy to be more receptive to financial wealth, your ideal relationships, and better health. It will also keep your mind more clear so that you can learn more and live a more balanced life. You are the only person that can truly know what ignites you into a state of joy and happiness.
There will always be something in your life that isn’t ideal, whether it be you personally or a loved one going through a rough time. Don’t let your challenges stop you from doing these habits. Remind yourself that each day you practice the few things that make your heart sing you are becoming a better YOU.
