The Perfect Day List

The perfect day

When is the last time you had a perfect day? Before you answer, I must confess, the answer is not important. What is important is the process, and the checklist you started to create mentally that would have provided the answer. 

Recently, in my personal life, I have made many changes based on the idea of living a perfect day. This perfect day is not meant to be every day, but instead something we strive for and hit enough days to satisfy our wants and needs. Below, I share my concept of a perfect day. In reflection, I invite you to write down a list of what your views of a perfect day consist of. How many days of the week do you reach this perfect day? Do you want to reach this day, more days? Is it sustainable? What changes would you have to make to better live, or close the gap, on what your perfect day looks like?

Please keep in mind, everyone's idea of a perfect day is different. The narrative to mine is of a young, single, fitness enthralled male. This is not the perfect day, but instead my perfect day. 

1. A relaxing morning with time to reflect and collect my thoughts and set the intention for the day.

2. A workout, where I accomplish what I set out to.

3. Clients

4. Lunch, in public, in the company of friends, or the observation of others. Followed by a trip to the market, where I pick out my dinner based on what my body tells me.

5. Clients

6. Coffee

6. Clients

7. Home, where I can decompress, get some do nothing time in.

8. Dinner, a warm home cooked meal, where I am present in enjoying while I reflect. 

9. A movie, or some reading, or the company of good friends, while I wind down.

10. Stretching, soothing music, journaling my thoughts as I prepare for bed. 

 When making your list, keep in mind that it is subject to change. However, by being mindful of your list, I believe we can find better fulfillment in each and every day. Sometimes, if your list and your days don't match, you may need to dramatically change your environment. In the end, your perfect day is something you deserve to experience. 

So, what does your perfect day look like?
