The First Way

In January, I wrote these words.

I want to have
the time of my life.

I wrote ten ways to live your life. The first way was to claim it.

Give Yourself Permission to Claim Your Life

You know you can do this. What is a few minutes in the context of the hundreds of thousands you spend in a life?

  1. Stop what you’re doing.

  2. Sit and breathe in the air a bit.

  3. Notice the feeling that begins to become you.

  4. Keep noticing that feeling until you forget about the breathing, until you are comfortable just being.

  5. Name that being feeling “living.” Don’t try to make it into anything.

  6. When you feel like a human, get up and do something to claim this life you’re living.

Go Out to Claim It

Here are a few ways you might do that, in case this notion is new to you.

  1. See the sun rise. See a beautiful sky. See a smile you put on someone’s face.

  2. Eat something delicious. Share a marvelous meal with a friend.

  3. Send yourself fresh flowers and give one away.

  4. Listen to the sounds of nature that you don’t usually hear.

  5. Take the longest shower or bubble bath in your experience.

  6. Kiss someone you love. Follow that with a hug.

Most folks don’t need ideas to fill our life moments. But we might need an occasional reminder to fill our moments with life.

How will you live the time of your life?
