Approach

How can your day be altered by your intention or basis in approach?  How does your everyday look if you approach things with dullness, imposed duty or even exasperation as opposed to a gentle compassion, with a sense of newness for this particular day.  What would be part of an ideal daily vision if you took a moment to look inward?  How would you feel and behave in an ideal day with no limits imposed on your imagination?

As an example in practical application, let’s say you have an exercise plan and you do it because you know it’s good for you, you want to have a certain number on the scale, and you’ll feel better after. How does this look differently if you do it because you like showing up for yourself, you notice the way your body has the capacity to move, using that  as an opportunity to take joy in movement (even if it’s not quite where or how you’d like). How does that approach change anything, if at all? Are the first reasons made subsequent instead of primary? How does exercising change with approach?

You can shift the approach to anything in your day: the way you feel about desk work, meetings, cleaning, yard work, or even standing in line — anything that has previously been viewed as a “have to” can be a “get to”.

Let positive intention and approach help you to feel your best as often as possible!
