At the beginning of April I read about this lovely idea on
The Alexander Residence blog. You set a timer for 20 minutes and write down 100
things you want to do, be achieve, feel, places to go, people to see and more…
Read how to do it here: 20 Minutes to ChangeYour Life. It only takes a minute to read.
Random acts of kindness were one of Penny’s goals.
“And sharing the good stuff…hope someone else finds this as
helpful as I did.”
I commented on her post, I am definitely gonna do this! And
then didn’t get around to it. Then I got an email yesterday saying someone else
had commented on her post and it reminded me. I found I had twenty minutes to
spare and let myself write in a stream of consciousness sort of way.
The first thing I wrote was, Write a book, write lots of
books. Drive. Pass test. Then there was a list of friends and family to visit.
More writing ideas. Be myself. Feel content. Stop being afraid or anxious. Go
to Italy again: India again. Visit Dad in Capetown. Be myself (came up twice!) Paint apicture. Go away for a weekend with my best friend. Take up yoga. Cook family
meals. Have more time! Be less complicated, more simple, relaxed and beautiful.
Simplicity. Stare out to sea more often. Be quiet in nature. Go quietly to the
woods. Draw pictures. Paint watercolours outside with my children… it goes on.
Although I’d already made my Best Year Yet Plan I loved this because
it was so quick. It reiterated to me some of the things that are most important
to my inner self, when the chaos of daily life stops clouding my dreams.
So just do it! 20 minutes; have a go. It was fun!
Big thanks to Penny for sharing. Pass it on.
