Today I was reflecting on the fact that for over a year an a half, I’ve been successfully making a living from my own business. I pay my bills, I save, I invest, I donate to charity, I have play money, I travel, etc.
I focus so much on growth, I forget what an accomplishment this is. And it’s easy for me to get myopic and think that things are not going well if my business isn’t growing.
I am seeing a real opportunity to control my focus and create a more positive experience of life. In the next few days and weeks, I intend to add two new rituals to my life:
- I will reaffirm an acknowledgment practice I started a few years ago and stopped. Specifically, I will document my success, big and small.
- I will being a list of “Evidence of Joy” in my life. On this list I will capture as many moments of joy as I am conscious of experiencing.
You’re on a noble path, my man.
Have you seen the blog http://1000mitzvahs.wordpress.com/ ? The gal is trying to do 1000 acts of kindness (however small) and keep track of them. A worthy way to expand your own practice.
Mine is writing every day: using words that begin with the letter P as my gimmick, and the accountability of a blog audience to keep me on track. http://365pwords.wordpress.com/
Keep it up!
