This journey that I've been on to find ME has been so interesting. And, I'm still finding out something new about myself every day! I'm loving it.

On April 10th I posted something about the woman that is my "life coach". She comes once a month and always has a 'project' for us to tackle. The latest one was this:
During the night a miracle happened... you awoke to find that you were living your PERFECT LIFE.. What would that life look like?
Well, now, that was mind-provoking. You'd think I would say something like, I'd be healthy, rich, traveling, eating at fancy restaurants, have a perfect family and staff so I didn't have to do anything. HA HA.
Here is what I said:
1. I would never get cancer again. I mean, I've had it twice already. Isn't that enough! There is always a niggling in my head saying, 'suppose you do'.
2. I'd know that the lives of my children were as good as it could be. There's some changes that need to happen there.
3. I would never again feel guilt in saying the word, NO. I wish I'd learned that years ago.
4. I'd be an elegant lady with perfect manners and have a real sense of fashion. I always feel like I am not put together very well.
5. I'd find out I just won the lottery. I'd hire an assistant and the two of us would travel to all those places I've always wanted to go.
Here's the thing. If you'd like to play along, I hope you will post your perfect life in the comment section. That will be some fun reading!
This is a hot button topic for me - I have been thinking about what living my best life would be. I think I would be retired, have plenty of creative things to keep my brain busy, find a companion that likes the same things I do, be free of physical pain, have a great relationship with all of my kids and have them think so too, halt the hair loss I am experiencing, drop some pounds so I feel better, learn how to do new things, feel confident in social situations, sleep well, eat healthy, find a church home (last, but certainly not least).
ReplyDeleteIt being okay to say no spoke loud and clear to me.
ReplyDeleteI am one to say no a lot and do not regret it either. You have to set boundaries. I can't see myself eating in fancy restaurants, but maybe opening one that sells fresh grown ingredient meals, with an herb garden out back of it.
