The Ideal Day
“The way you live your days are the way you live your life.”
What a gut check quote & reminder that it’s not always the “big rocks” in life that make our life meaningful, purposeful or create a legacy, it’s the day to day things that add up to the big things in life.
So I’d encourage you to grab a clean piece of paper and jot down what the ideal day would look like in the following areas:
wake up, morning routine, self care, work life, family life, nature, fun/hobbies, meals and bedtime
My mentor Brooke Castillo would say that if you want anything to happen, you have to schedule it into your day. So you could simply schedule in the things from this brainstormed list that will help you create an ideal day.
From there we can start to establish 4 Routines in our day.
1. A morning routine
2. Workday start up routine
3. Workday shutdown routine
4. End of the Day routine
Pick 3-4 things that can make up that routine - maybe things from your ideal day list and create a trigger habit that will start this routine into motion.
Now, remember that when it comes to routines you have to remember 2 things:
1- they are yours, you decide what you want/need to do in those 4x of the day or however many you decide you need. You take ownership for your own life.
2- You have to give yourself grace - 80/20 rule here. Life is going to happen, but that doesn’t mean you need to throw in the towel if it doesn’t happen for some reason. .
I’d love to know - How are you planning to create some new habits/routines in your days and what your ideal days look like.
You might recognize some of these steps from the Happiness Code I discussed last time. There are still openings for our book club and I’d love to give one of those spots to you.
