I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about what kind of life I want to live. Rather than be stuck in survival mode, I would like to actually thrive and enjoy what life has to offer me now. There's no sense in fighting reality. But I can make changes to steer life where I want to go.
So here's what "living your best life" goals look like for me.
Getting enough good sleep and a slow start to each day with my coffee.
Taking care of my body and mind. Showing myself love.
Eating foods that make me feel good and cooking simple meals.
Eliminating too many possessions, toxic people, rumination, guilt, and excessive crying from my life.
Putting my home in order and creating spaces that are comfortable.
Taking care of my bills and responsibilities. Making informed choices.
Leisure to pursue hobbies and interests.
Feeling hopeful, engaged with life and others.
Companionship - life is not meant to be lived alone.
All resonate with me. Tge last one...,I miss doing nothing with someone.

DeleteThat is a clear vision to act upon. I can relate to many although our circumstances are different.
ReplyDeleteI felt like I had to get a clear vision that could serve as a framework. All of the rest is detail. (:
DeleteI'm in the Swedish Death Cleaning stage. Getting rid of everything not needed, stuff that is hanging around for no reason!!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I did the same. I'm sure my kids will still have more to toss, but I have significantly pared down what I own.
DeleteThis sounds empowering and intentional!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!
DeleteThat is a great list of objectives for living your best life. A list that many of us agree on.
ReplyDeleteI posted it on my fridge so I could remind myself what my intentions are.
DeleteI need to make a list like this. I've done bucket lists, but this is completely different. It's too bad you're in Texas, and I'm in Indiana. I think we'd have a lot to chat about!

Oh, yes...I can chat up a storm!
DeleteI love your list. I make many lists myself, but I don't always follow through. I'm going to print it out and post it, hoping that it motivates me to do so now. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI printed mine out, too!
DeleteSounds like a very healthy plan.
ReplyDeleteI made it as healthy, and basic, as possible so there would be every reason for me to follow it. (:
DeleteI love your post today, very good advice for living the good life. I'm a first-time visitor, I saw your comment on Granny Marigold's page and thought I would drop by and say Hello. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary (:
