Seize the Day!

In last week's e-newsletter, Coach Natalie encourages readers to "stop waiting for someday to come to start enjoying your life to the fullest".

Too often people think the they'll be happy when "they win the lottery", "find Mr. Right" "lose 30 pounds", or "get a promotion". Unfortunately, this thinking doesn't allow you to truly enjoy the here and now. Waiting until someday (that may never come) to be happy blocks much of the happiness and joy you could be experiencing in the present. For example, paying off a credit card bill or enjoying time with your girlfriends let's you more fully enjoy the reality of where you are. Limit spending and enjoy shopping wisely. Enjoy the freedom of not being strapped down.

Shifting your perspective helps you look at your current situation in new ways. Having a positive attitude about what is allows the possibility for more joy. Cherish everything in your day that contributes to your happiness, whether it's your child's smile; completing an assignment at work on time; getting to work without traffic; having friends and family who love you.
