VITALITY

Yesterday I attended the quarterly Spirit School gathering. Christen McCormack, the founder, has been a friend & mentor to me for 20 years. She was one of my original Reiki Masters, and much of the healing work that I do has come from her wise teachings. Also at the gathering was another friend/mentor, Susan Wiesniewski. Yesterday's theme was Vitality:

What gives you energy? What depletes you? What is life-enhancing to one person can be depleting to another. It all depends. It's about tuning in to yourself and paying attention. So this is the exercise we did:

  • On one side of the paper, list all the things that enhance your vitality: situations, activities, people. (e.g. laughter, great conversations, learning new things, naps)
  • On the other side, list all the things that deplete you.
  • Put a star beside the ones you do everyday.
  • Circle the ones you'd like to add to your daily routine on the Vitality side.
  • Create an action plan. (e.g. daily exercise, listen to more music, dance)
What gives you more vitality, enthusiasm, juice in your life?
DO THAT.
