90 Days to More Joy: Day Seven

DAY SEVEN:

Hello and welcome back!

We will spend the next six days visiting and revisiting the qualities that you have identified for which you admire most in others.

Today:

*Write the qualities down on an index card or post-it note and keep them closely with you - on your computer, on your mirror, in your wallet or purse...

Make sure that wherever you place them, you can clearly see them often, throughout the day.

**Consider when in your life you have had the opportunity to really let these qualities 'shine' in your life? Have you ever allowed them to shine at all? Remember to write your insights and thoughts in your journal.

We will go back to your journal often during this 90 day journey.

Again, remember.... these qualities are within you - the reason why you are most drawn to them in others is because you are recognizing yourself in them - it is akin to remembering a long, lost friend.

***Look at yourself in the mirror today and say aloud one thing that you like/love about yourself. Be sure to do this in earnest - with purpose.

See you again tomorrow!

... thank you.

90 Days to More Joy: Day Six

DAY SIX:

Welcome back!

Today, we are going to start a week-long process of really, really being with, sitting with, contemplating, and beginning to actually experience the qualities that we identified last week as being most important to us - to you.

This is very crucial work - what you value is actually your guiding compass in life - at least it can be, of we allow ourselves to become fully aware of our values.

Having an intimate understanding of our values can bring great fulfillment in life - it makes choices far easier and joy more available.

So, we don't want to rush through this vital part of our journey together, as all of the other work that comes after will be building upon it.

*Review the qualities that you most value in others
**Review how 'alive' you find these qualities to be within you right now
***Take time to see how these values are 'alive' in others - when you think of these qualities being very prevalent in other people, how do they show up? Really, deeply imagine how these qualities play out in scenarios...

****We will do this every day for our 90 days together. Say aloud to yourself in the mirror something that you like/love about yourself. 

See you back here tomorrow :-)
