So how has this Proud List-Maker been faring with her daily checklist? I must admit that there hasn’t been a single day in which I’ve managed to check everything off the list. I’m still calling it a success, though. It has made me much more mindful of the things that I ought to be doing, and I there are six list items that I’ve consistently added to my day.
As for those remaining, undone items on the list, perhaps the best way to tackle them is one at a time. So I’m going to update my daily checklist by scaling it back to just those items I’ve managed to do consistently, plus one additional item to work on (in this case, breakfast). If I can keep up with this new list, I’ll add a new item in a couple of weeks.
Here is the updated list:
- Eat breakfast.
- Eat lunch.
- Listen to music.
- Pause to consider someone or something for which you’re grateful.
- Do something you’ve been putting off.
- Find a reason to leave the house for a while.
- Praise yourself for something.
