There are countless decisions we make every day - and STILL at the end of the day we don't feel we've done enough. This is partly due to our brain's desire for dopamine. (A topic for a much longer conversation later)
Confidently, I say, you probably have done more than "enough." But for those who like to check it off a list, here's a quick daily check list that will help keep you and your brain healthy and well.
1. A Physical win:
- Walking, running, lifting, morning farm chores. Really any physical exercise.
2. A Productivity win:
- Make your bed, cook a full meal from scratch, clean out email inbox, organize closet, organize top of desk. It doesn't matter how big or how small.
3. A Spiritual win:
- Praying, meditating, reading. Look for something to grow your spiritual life.
4. A Relational win:
- A phone call, a text reaching out to let someone know you're thinking of them, a letter, an email, a short conversation with the barista or grocery clerk.
You might say to me that you do this everyday and more.... but do you do it intentionally?
Give this a try for a full week and let me know how it goes 😊. Wishing you all a more joyful, peaceful and productive week!
