What does your perfect day look like?  I heard someone talk about this once; I thought it was brilliant, so I’m sharing it with you.  The idea is to write it out.  Get a piece of paper, get inspired and start writing.  Describe every moment of your perfect day from the minute you wake up until the second you fall asleep that night.  In June, I dove in…and loved it.  I was so inspired while doing it that I wrote three of them related to three very typical days I have each week.  I was hooked.  It is so much fun.  Your mood soars while you’re brainstorming.  But don’t say, “Well, I’m not going to write this, even though I’d love to do it, because it could never happen.”  Go all out.  Dream it.  Whatever you would love to do, write it.  You could write a page about your dream vacation day, your ideal ‘normal’ Monday through Friday, your favorite Saturday.  Do whatever inspires you.  I would encourage you to write as many as you can.  It’s worth the high you get during the process.  Then go back and reread at least one a day.  If you suspend your disbelief and allow yourself to believe that you can have what you want, these things will slowly begin coming your way.  It’s remarkable.  Here’s an example from one of mine:  I’m visualizing practicing yoga, one path to emotional balance.  Several weeks pass.  I haven’t read my ”Perfect Day” in a while (not following my own advice), but I feel compelled one day to invite my friend to a yoga class; then another friend invites me to one.  Weeks later I feel drawn to research yoga moves on-line.  Four weeks ago, my husband suggests we buy tapes including a yoga session.  And this is without having told anyone what I’d written.  Wild!!

What do you want?  If you believe you can have it, the universe (or whatever you feel comfortable calling it) makes it happen for you.  Before I launched my web site, I wrote about it as though I was already working on my site…and here we are.  Many other wonderful things have transpired since my ‘perfect day’ run.  I know you’ll find writing about your perfect day just as fulfilling.  Remember to write in the present tense, as though you are living what you’re writing.  Believe it.  Know it.  And it will be yours!
