The Highlight of the Day
For some years now, I start my day with a ritual. After meditating and focusing on all of the blessings in my life, I start wondering about what the highlight of the day might be.
What I mean by highlight can be a conversation, a walk in nature or a feeling that I have. It might a feeling I get watching a movie or reading a book. I certainly felt that way watching a few movies recently. I already shared with in a previous blog, August Rush. If you haven’t already seen Across the Universe, it’s another great one.
When you come from a true place of wonderment, you don’t know when you will experience these moments, but you are open to feeling it when it occurs.
It might even be that there are two or three moments that in their own way elevate how you feel. Once that occurs you feel a flow in your life. It’s contagious. You come to expect it.
That’s the way it’s been lately. I already told you about the Golden Gate experience. And Sunday was another one of those moments. Not only did I connect with a new friend, I also found a new music partner. It was great sharing common ground about the creative process with someone new. It was a great day which has become the norm rather than the exception.
Wondering about the highlight of the day, helps you create a positive expectation as to your experience of life. It’s a great practice and takes just an open mind and a little curiosity. Experiment with it for a few weeks and see if you notice a difference. I bet you will.
Keep me posted.
