Important Choices in my Life
- Tirelessly practicing (not just playing) sports in my youth
- Trusting, loving, and committing to Mark
- Adding Pilates and yoga to my exercise routine
- Being a teacher, aunt, and mentor, instead of a parent
- Purposefully surrounding myself with a tribe of loving, supportive, soul-filling, yet truth-telling people
- Getting rid of cable TV (and any TV reception at all)
- Creating a peaceful bedtime ritual
- Practicing meditation
- Giving a sustained effort to cooking and gardening
- Going back to therapy after I thought I'd figured everything out
- Re-envisioning my photography
- Regularly taking a 5-week sabbatical with Mark (no Internet, phone, news--just Caribbean beauty and each other)
- Trusting in myself that I can change my professional path
This could be the beginning of a workbook. I can see your students reflecting on the important choices in their lives.
ReplyDeleteWendy: Yes, this was an interesting exercise for me--to really think about the life-changing decisions (as opposed to big decisions that could have turned out positive no matter what). Another possible list: choices I'm not yet making, but I could.
DeleteOhhh, I like that second list, also. Provocative.
DeleteAlso purposeful: coffee and wine? Good choices. ;-)
