It’s a new year and a new decade!
And most importantly, it’s a brand-new day!
Having an amazing day, each and every day of 2020, means taking care of your most important asset – you! Self-care will bring out your personal brilliance which means understanding, accepting, and nurturing your God-given gifts, talents, and differences. It means using those to influence your world in a positive and bright way. It means taming stress so as not to steal your brilliance.
To attain brilliance in 2020 it’s tempting to make new year’s resolutions of self-care. However, we know that the odds are not in our favor when it comes to successfully keeping those resolutions for the entire year. So what is the best way to brilliance through self-care? Focusing on only one – day – at – a – time.
This is the time of year when experts and bloggers are posting lists of great ways to take care of yourself: ways to lower stress, to calm down, to enjoy life, and find success.
Several years ago I was researching and gathering the best practices for self-care. Specifically, my list was designed to help cultivate a positive attitude. All which helps to, as the research confirms, increase our physical and mental health.
To help my audiences remember items from the list, I needed a way to organize the items. Something that would be easy to remember. Coming from a family who works in the building industry, the idea of a house became evident. Each common room in a house could represent ways that are important for physical and mental well-being. As I began to work with the concept, a foundation to the house was added for spiritual health and a porch represented relationship health.
“The House” was born as a simple and easy way to assess ways to build personal brilliance, ways that would be individually tailored for your particular life and current circumstances.
Each room in the house addresses important concepts used to manage your life, provides background as to why the room is important and furnishes activities to move your life from stressful survival to joyful living and to full personal brilliance.
How it Works:
Step one: Assess your current state by using the typical rooms in a house to make a quick personal evaluation.
Step two: Decide what room you could spend time in to get you moving forward and feeling rejuvenated and healthy.
Step three: Do one thing that will get you back on track.
My goal is to get the word out and help people know that taking care of oneself can be easy and fun – it just means visiting “the House” at least once a day – to build brilliance in 2020.
