Sunday Story…3 Questions

There are more things to do to move yourself forward than you can ever do in a day…morning pages, meditations, exercise, prayer, etc., etc., etc. And don’t forget you need to have breakfast, get ready to face your day (all those Zoom calls), and get the family out the door. I get up pretty early but there is a limit to how early!

 

Here is a simple strategy to move every day forward and not take 3 or 4 hours doing it. Just ask yourself (and answer) 3 questions:

 

Today:

I will focus on…

I am grateful for…

I will let go of…

 

Let be honest, your to-do list is long. Some projects have long timelines with multiple facets and seem overwhelming. Focus on one thing. Do that one thing. This will reduce the overwhelm. Remember…you eat an elephant one bite at a time.

 

It is almost impossible to be negative and depressed while expressing gratitude. Find one or two things to be grateful for…You woke up! Your body is up and moving. Your brain is on point. The sun will rise. Gratitude is good for what ails you.

 

Letting go of things can be as simple as not worrying about the things over which you have no control. What do you not need to do, worry about, or even be aware of? Just let it go.

 

Sometimes keeping things distilled down makes this whole life improvement stuff easier to manage. After all, it makes no sense to get all worked up about improving your life if all it does is make you miserable.

 

Keep it simple, silly.
