Opening Into Summertime

• Thursday, July 09th, 2009

Take three minutes today… come September, you will be glad you did… and see what you can unearth here.  Close your eyes, feel your feet on the floor, and remember summertime as a child.  What pleasant images and sensations come to mind?
When you were a kid, (or a teen, or a younger adult…) what were your favorite summertime activities?  
 
Which of these would you love to do now?
 
When was the last time you did them?
 
What would it take to do them now?

 

Which one will you do this year?

Single Daily Action

• Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

A single daily action is something we commit to doing each and every day when we recognize it’s the single most important way to get where we want to go.

In which arena are you most hungry for progress?

What is the one thing you could do each day to maximize your momentum towards this goal?

Let yourself think broadly.  Sometimes a daily cultivation practice, such as reflection and planning time, exercise, or spending time in nature might be the missing piece!
