When was the last time you thought about what would delight you?
Delight!
What’s the first thing that comes up for you?
Do you instantly think of something that would delight you?
Or do you think, “I don’t have time to think about what delights me!”
It’s a powerful question. Here’s how I use it in a very practical way…
I am on a deadline to get this blog out. Fine. Writing this blog and getting it on Instagram, emailed out to everyone on my email list and putting on the blog section of my website is on my “To-Do” list.
Now I’m going to add the question, “what can I do that will feel delightful while I do these tasks to get this blog to you?”
A simple answer came to me. Instead of sitting at my desk to get it all done, I’ll take my laptop and sit on my front porch so I can be outside, see all the hummingbirds flying around, and enjoy the sunshine.
BAM! Suddenly the tasks to get my blog out are more… delightful!
How would your day feel different if you found three things that you need to do and simply added a little delight to them?
Delight has become part of my self-care routine. I frequently ask myself, “how can I make this delightful?” Suddenly even a boring To-Do list is more interesting and fun. When we invite delight into the mundane aspects of life, we’ve elevated our experience.
Tell me, what will you do to make something delightful today?
That’s what self-care looks like. That’s what self-love looks like. Taking that extra moment to bring more delight into your life.
