I looked at my list and the day stretched out before me – what magic could I create? These are not “to do’s” – these are the moments that make up my life. What I do or don’t do isn’t the marker for me.
It’s not about making the day special or memorable or even joyful. It was about not taking anything for granted.
Where does child-like awe go?
How come we turn into workaholics who crave busy and need a vacation to relax only to come home and be more tense?
I like being mesmerized by (or at least to acknowledge) the simple things, the small wins, the actual day-to-day bits… the way my first sips of coffee taste, a breeze, a hug, the best sheets I’ve ever had in my life.
What is this MAGIC?
I know things can be tedious, hard and annoying. This isn’t trying to reframe the truth of those experiences. It’s about how you choose to see them and process life in general and how things land in your body – one encourages openness, the other is tight and brittle.
When you have wonder, you have power.
When you invite fascination, you’re the alchemist.
WTF is this magic???
Go and create your day. Look at something with a fresh, unseen perspective even if you’ve done it a million times before. Don’t take your breaths for granted.
May you be amazed. May you shift from fear to wonder. May you always see yourself as powerful.
Many hugs,
Coach Laura
