Enjoyment: My Word for March
Hey glow getters! Let’s continue our conversation on rediscovering self and joy, which ties into my word of the month…enjoyment. It's about relishing in the little moments, finding joy in the day-to-day, and doing more of the things that make us happy. Together, let’s plan to make this an enjoyable March, by being intentional with the following:
Embrace the Present Moment
Practice Mindfulness: Let’s take a few moments each day to be present and mindful. Whether it's through meditation, yoga, deep breathing exercises, or simply pausing to appreciate the beauty around you, mindfulness helps us fully engage with the present moment.
Savor Simple Pleasures: Notice and appreciate the small joys in life – a good cup of coffee, a hug from your little one, or a couple uninterrupted hours to do relax or do whatever you want. By savoring these simple pleasures, we cultivate a sense of gratitude and contentment in our daily lives.
Do More of What You Love
Curate Fun Celebrations: I absolutely love celebrations, so this month, I'm looking forward to celebrating my daughter's 10th birthday with a curated fun weekend for her and some of her friends. Whether it's a birthday, an anniversary, or simply celebrating life's milestones, take the time to plan special moments that bring joy to you and your loved ones.
Explore Culinary Delights: As a foodie at heart, I'm always on the lookout for delicious meals to enjoy. That's why I'm implementing a new lunch meal plan this month, that will include chef prepared meals that I can simply toss in the oven. Whether it's trying out a new restaurant, cooking a favorite dish, or trying a new meal plan like me, make time to savor the flavors of life.
Host Meaningful Gatherings
Women Celebrating Women: As someone who enjoys celebrating myself and others, I'm excited to host my annual Women Celebrating Women event this month. You can learn more about it here. Whether it's a brunch, a game night, or a virtual gathering, getting together with good people fosters connection and joy.
Prioritize Family Time
Movie Nights: Family time is precious to me, so this month, we're planning a movie night to see Kung Fu Panda 4. I love the all 3 movies probably more than the kids, but we’re all looking forward to it. It's a chance to bond, laugh, and create lasting memories together. Whether it's a movie night, game night or a weekend getaway, prioritize quality time with your loved ones and cherish those moments together.
Actionable Steps
Create a Joy List: Make a list of activities and experiences that bring you joy. Refer to this list whenever you need inspiration for how to infuse more enjoyment into your day.
Schedule Regular Enjoyment Time: Block off time in your schedule for activities that bring you joy – whether it's reading a book, going for a walk, or trying out a new hobby. Treat this time as non-negotiable and prioritize it just like you would any other commitment.
Practice Gratitude: Take time each day to reflect on the things you're grateful for. Whether it's jotting down a few things in a gratitude journal or simply pausing to say thank you, practicing gratitude helps cultivate a positive mindset and enhances our enjoyment of life's blessings.
So, here's to embracing enjoyment – to finding joy in the everyday, savoring life's simple pleasures, and doing more of what brings us happiness. Let's make this month a celebration of all the things that make life beautiful and fulfilling.
Keep glowing,
