This Week's Topic: Your Highest Self, part two
Dear Friend,
"Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, to all the souls you can, in every place you can, at all the times you can, with all the zeal you can, as long as ever you can."
~John Wesley
Last week I asked you to consider what things knock you out of alignment with your highest self. I hope you came up with some good ones...and that you've been able to avoid them or dampen their impact in your life.
This week I want you to explore what brings you into alignment with your highest self. It is those activities that allow you to be and do your best -- activities that set the stage or foundation for you to be prepared to face life with vigor. When we focus on and do what brings us to our highest self - our best emerges with ease and grace - and the world gets to experience our true magnificence.
Ask yourself, "What brings me into alignment with my highest self?"
Here are several points of departure:
  • Exercise
  • Prayer
  • Meditation
  • Healthy Eating
  • Sleep
  • Naps
  • Intimacy
  • Strong Relationships
  • Massages
  • Time in Nature
  • Thrill Sports
  • Art (Painting, Sculpture, Drawing)
  • Gardening
Make It Happen
Create your own list of what nourishes you and allows you to be your best. Then look at your weekly or monthly calendar and ensure that you get at least some of these activities every month and many of these activities with greater frequency
In this month of focusing on your flourishing life I want to pose that question to you so you can discover what allows you to from be your best.
May you be blessed, for you are a blessing!

This Week's Topic: Your Highest Self
Dear Friend,
"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.
I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it." ~Groucho Marx
Several weeks ago fellow coach, Cheryl Richardson posed this question to her community, "What things knock you out of alignment with your highest self?"
