Today’s the Day!

Today’s the day! The day for what, you ask? For YOU!

Today’s the day you choose YOU.

Sound like a plan? It should.

No matter what is going on in life… What responsibilities, obligations, opportunities, chores, errands, “have tos,” and “shoulds,” you have built into today’s schedule - there’s still room to choose YOU.

For years, I would wake up in the morning and look at the long list of things that had to get done that day - and I would see no room for me. I’d decide that if I made it through the list, by the end of day I would allow myself the time to read, or watch a show, or simply go to bed early. And that would be my reward for taking care of everyone, and everything, else.

Funny… at that same point in my life I was lonely, sad, anxious that my life was slipping away and I was missing it. I was going through the motions to get through my days… But where was the Joy in that?

I didn’t even have the energy to enjoy that last hour of the day… I’d fall asleep reading my book or watching my show… And I certainly didn’t have the energy to take care of myself…

And my relationships? Don’t even ask… I was grumpy with my kids; barely present with my husband; and disconnected from most of my friends.

Everything was out of whack. And it truly came down to the fact that I wasn’t CHOOSING me.

But there came a day when I decided enough was enough. And you know what I did? I choose a walk. That’s it. A simple walk, everyday, by myself, when my husband got home from work. It was on the calendar, in my schedule, a non-negotiable. I chose me. And it started me down the path to the life I have today - a life of energy, joy, and endless possibility!

So, my friend. Today is the DAY! The day to choose YOU.

I’m taking the next 12 weeks to explore some Joy Habits in my Facebook Group “The Joy Habit.” Maybe this is a fun place to start on your journey to choosing you? Each week, we’ll explore a tip/trick/tool that can help ignite some Joy into your days - through posts, videos, live conversations, and exercises to try out at home.

There is no cost - just the opportunity for you to choose you and show up for yourself. (And I’ll be there to support and encourage you along the way!)

So will you join me? Choosing You is the first step toward a life of Energized Joy and Possibility - you can have it! Today is the day to start!
