Recharge Your Life! with Dr. Sue
Feel More Alive In 2005!
Have you ever wished you could shift gears and lead a more satisfying life? Do you sense that something's missing from your life, but you're not quite sure what? In her books, Recharge in Minutes and Create a Life that Tickles Your Soul, author Suzanne Zoglio, Ph.D. explores many ways to rediscover your life’s passion and to have more energy at work and at play. Here are some tips to help you feel more alive in 2005!1. Schedule your “someday dozen” now. Right now schedule 12 activities you’ve always wanted to do into your calendar-one per month. Whether you’ve been meaning to take a bike trip, visit a nearby museum, take a hot air balloon ride, go fly-fishing, or refinish that heirloom antique …plan it.
2. Book quarterly “play dates.” Call one friend or four and lock in a few dates that you both agree are written in stone; no matter what, you’ll get together.
3. Reinvent yourself. Adopt one new positive habit to replace one that’s not serving you. Walk 20 minutes before you turn on TV. Read the comics before the investment page. Change your drive-time station to an uplifting one. Switch from coffee to green tea. Study the bible, a world atlas, or dictionary once a week. Doing something new is invigorating. It’s never too late to become more of the person you want to be.
4. Give away a day. Pick a cause you care about and commit a day to helping them out. Work on a house for Habitat for Humanity, deliver Meals on Wheels, or help your church clean up an elderly person’s yard---whatever appeals to you. You’ll be surprised how much joy will come back to you when you’re through.
5. Start each day on purpose. To feel alive, we need to know how that we’re using our days in meaningful ways, not just putting time in. Before you get out of bed each morning, answer 3 questions: What kind of person do I want to be today (fun, calm, generous)? What three things do I want to accomplish (important to you!)? Where can you make a difference in someone else’s life (with a call, a gesture, a helping hand)?
