VACATION EVERY DAY

My husband and I flew down to West Palm Beach, Florida, for the Labor Day weekend and it was SO HEAVENLY with BLUE SKIES, WHITE CLOUDS, SUNSHINE, clear water that was the PERFECT temperature. We swam and PLAYED AND LAUGHED and ENJOYED EVERY MOMENT of this small piece of paradise.

When I came back home to NYC and got back into the rhythm of my life and my work and my home , I started to think how can
I carry over this FEELING OF JOY AND ELATION AND HAPPINESS into my daily life? How can I make EVERY DAY FEEL AS WONDERFUL as the days we spent on our vacation? Why is it SO EASY TO FEEL JOY when on vacation?
I think on vacation everywhere I look I see or EXPERIENCE SOMETHING THAT FEELS GOOD… blue skies, white clouds, the feeling of playing in the sparkling water, etc. But more importantly I TAKE THE TIME to look at the things that make me happy and FOCUS ON THEM AND APPPRECIATE them in that moment. Yes, I definitely have more time to relax and take in all the sights on vacation but what if I ALLOWED MYSELF to FOCUS ON WHAT FEELS GOOD every day, instead of only when I am on vacation?

What if MAINTAINING JOY really IS all about SLOWING DOWN and TAKING THE TIME TO SMELL THE FLOWERS? What if the biggest reason life seems so much better on vacation is because I am in a CONSTANT STATE OF APPRECIATION? I decided to try this at home during my normal life.

I MADE A COMMITMENT to each day MAKE FEELING GOOD A PRIORITY and to SLOW DOWN and to allow myself TO LOOK FOR AND ENJOY AND APPRECIATE things that FEEL GOOD every day. And I have to say IT HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE in the quality of my daily experiences. I still have to work and the bills still came in and there were still problems with the trains, etc. But over all when I LOOKED FOR THINGS TO FEEL GOOD about I really did have an amazing week … much MORE PLAYFUL, APPRECIATIVE, FUN AND JOYFUL.

Try it for one day, or one week and I can guarantee you, YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT HOW MUCH JOY you can experience in a single day if you CONCIOUSLY LOOK FOR THINGS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD. You will want to do this EVERY DAY for the rest of your life.

WISHING YOU LOVE, JOY, PEACE AND PROSPERITY,
