It's the day after Labor Day, which often means the first day of school and a return to "normal" from summer. Even though that was never the case for me (both grades 1-12 and college started about seven to ten days before the end of August), Labor Day has still always seemed a dividing point between before and after, with after being a more studious, serious side. I actually preferred the after and the beginning of my favorite season, fall.
So, in honor of new beginnings, I offer this, which I found more than a decade ago in a book by Debbie Ford. These words are a great reminder that we sometimes block ourselves from our dreams, that it's okay to go after our dreams, and that our dreams aren't for us only. What good we have in life is meant to be shared with others.
Debbie Ford's Morning Routine:
- Take a moment of silence and meditation, and give yourself permission to have all that you desire.
- Tell yourself that it is safe for you to fulfill your heart's wishes.
- Remember where you want to go, why you want to go there, and what will be waiting for you when you arrive. Allow yourself to imagine how you will feel, how you will look, and how others will be inspired by you when your vision is fulfilled.
- Think about all the opportunities you will have during the coming day to make choices that support the fulfillment of your goals and dreams.
Carpe diem!
