It's amazing, I just realized that I have this blog for over two years already. However, (and admittedly I am not saying this for the first time), I am not really sticking with the theme "no day without a thought".
However, always when I am starting to get back on track with my life, I am back on the keyboard which I guess rather speaks as a fact for how much in touch I am with myself recently/over a long time.
Today, I just want to keep it simple and list out what a version of an ideal day would look like. Without questioning knowing that there is no 'ideal day' and one shouldn't be too focused on one thing, but open for new things to happen.
(Long) Morning
- be in control of your day when waking up (surroundings, how your room looks, how much time you have, ...)
- decide this will be a good day when waking up, no matter in what mood that is
- make your bed
- if needed, calm the monkey in your mind with morning pages, just write everything down, so you get back the mental space for the day
- meditate
- read
- do sports
- eat the frog = tackle the most important task for the day
By following those steps, the day can't get any bad. I took care of myself and provided my subsconcious with the knowledge how much I value myself and my health, mentally and physically. Plus, I tackled the most important task before heading out and taking on smaller things during the day knowing, the important thing is taken care off.
Throughout the day
- be present/pay attention to what's happening (through meditation, morning pages, ..whatever helps you)
- don't react, have your agenda in mind and be focused
- schedule time for spontaneous things
- be kind and help others achieve their goal
- do sth weird/random/new/slightly uncomfortable
- eat healthy
- take breaks
Evenings
- use your dinners wisely, i.e. meet with friends, call someone from the family, build new relationships
- re run the day
- what was good/what could have gone better
- prep the next day
- no screens, write and read
