To live a well balanced, rewarding life of our dreams by day and sleep restfully at night.
What we focus on grows. If we put more energy and effort on the things that get us excited, we will:
never be bored
be much less anxious, irritable, and depressed,
and we should sleep pretty well if we keep our days full with meaningful activities.
In your journal, think and write about what really excites you. What puts a spring in your step? What makes you look forward to getting up in the morning?
Life is too short to sleep walk and feel stuck doing things we feel compelled to do out of a sense of duty or a paycheck; for it is OUR LIVES after all…!
On this morning, my journal entry may look like this…
What really excites me!
1. The fact that every day truly is a new day with infinite new possibilities…
2. New people I am meeting everyday
3. I am in a very creative time in my life. I am full of exciting ideas that keep my mind happily focused on wonderful things.
4. My new life with my husband (we have been married less than a month!)
5. The young lady that my daughter is becoming.
I will stop here because it is now your turn!
Have fun : )

Thanks Dawn. I really feel like if we focus on what truly excites us a lot of other things will fall into place.
