A Coaching Moment: What can you do today to make it extraordinary?

No, I don’t do this exercise every day, but many of them. I remember that “extraordinary” can be something really small but done with great intention and that makes all the difference.

Here are some suggestions:

• Write a note to your child and place it in his lunchbox.
• Leave a post it on your spouse’ pillow.
• Call someone who needs to hear from you.
• Get up extra early to have a few moments of quiet contemplation for yourself.
• Start the day with a bath.
• End the day with a bath.
• Brush your teeth by candle light.
• Enjoy a cup of tea on your deck as the sun sets.
• Begin to research the answer to a problem you are having.
• Go to bed extra early and curl up with a feel-good novel. (Whatever “feel good” is for you!)
• Watch a double-feature on Netflix with a big bowl of popcorn, extra butter!
• Drive to a new nature spot to go for a walk.
• Expect something wonderful to happen so be on the edge of your seat as you check your emails, answer the doorbell, or check your voicemails!
• Send a card with love to someone who won’t expect it.
• Exercise your body in a new way.
• Do a yoga pose or two.
• Sit in meditation.
• Respond differently to a situation.
• Let love guide you all day.
• Forgive someone.
• Appreciate something or someone you have in your life.

Here’s your work: Choose one (or pick your own) and go.

Have yourself an Extraordinary Day!
