💠Today’s Thought
This past week, we ate my kids’ favorite meal for dinner:
Breakfast.
For them, there’s something that is beyond exciting about having eggs, waffles, and bacon at 6:00pm. 🥓 🧇
I think part of it is undoubtedly that they tend to like that food more than other things I cook — chicken is a real struggle these days…
But I also think that part of it is because for about 30 minutes, life gets flipped on its head. It even gets a bit silly.
We’re doing something we don’t usually do.
When we interrupt our patterns and try new routines or approaches, daily life can actually feel fun and fresh, rather than boring.
For example, one day, try flipping one of your routines on its head:
Put your pants on the other leg first
Brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand
If you’re a sock-sock, shoe-shoe person, try doing sock-shoe, sock-shoe
Instead of jumping out of bed in the morning, sit up, take four slow, deep breaths, and then get going
Have breakfast for dinner 😉
P.S. If you end up loving the sock-shoe, sock-shoe routine I for sure want to hear about it.

P.S. In my work as a coach, I help my clients define their own personal purpose statement. If you’d like to develop yours and want a thought partner in that exercise, send me an email and we can explore what working together might look like.
See you next week!
