As the new year begins, although I'm typically not a fan of 'new years' resolutions because I believe the day you decide you want to make a change is always the day to start doing so, I do want to leverage this implied 'start date' to put more time and even more emphasis on living a more rewarding life. I have already been working during the past year on several key changes that have become routine habits. I feel they're helping a great deal. Mindfulness, gratitude journaling, routine daily upkeep at home, filling my precious free time with purpose and intention instead of just 'killing' that time with idle distractions, and not taking on more than I can reasonably expect to accomplish. These have all been steps in the right direction.
Last week Jennifer sent me a link to a great list of ideas and actions for leading a better life and it falls well in line with the path I'm working to follow. It's something I'm going to try and weave into my own daily routines in some fashion, be it to just read and consider one line a day, or perhaps to focus a week long effort of action against something pivotal. I'm not sure yet but I will figure it out. It could well be the next thing I focus a good deal of that limited time on, because it feels like a place where the return on my investment could be dramatic in many ways.
