On my five-hour drive to Massachusetts to visit my friend, Kellie, I was enjoying the beautiful weather, thinking about my birthday and my plans for the future, thinking about Uncle Hank, and I remembered a little perspective game I played last year.
What I call The Last Day Alive game. What you do is you pretend that today is your last day alive, and you see how that changes your perspective on everything you do that day.
When I first tried this game, it was amazing. I found a deep sense of peace in which everything that happened was perfect and beautiful. (It helped that I was in Sedona, AZ for that day!)
And today seemed like another great opportunity to play this game. So you can imagine my surprise (and delight) when Kellie used this very same idea in her yoga class tonight!
She invited us to imagine that this was the very last time we would ever do yoga, the last time we would move our bodies in this way. What would that do to our experience?
It was an amazing synchronicity for she and I both to explore this idea today. Makes me take notice and ask how else I can use this idea in my life…
