How Will You Spend These Last 31 Days?

Especially in the hustle-bustle of the holiday season, we can toss our intentions of mindfulness into the closet in favorite of just getting through the stress and rush of all those days that lead up to the moments we want to cherish. But what if those moments never come? Or what if we're so busy trying to get to those moments that we don't even notice them when they go by? When we're trapped in the fog of culture, we forget that those memorable moments can and should be each and every day. We forget that we don't have forever -- that this moment right now, is all we can be sure of.

None of us knows how many days we have, which is all the more reason to make sure that our time is spent in ways that are truly meaningful to us and nurturing to the world.

Our friend, Gregg Krech, at The ToDo Institute recently wrote a lovely blog post challenging us to make these last days of the year the best days of the year. What would that look like? How would your choices and priorities change? What if these were truly the last days of your life?

Greg offers 3 strategies for helping you make these last days the best:

  1. Consciously choose what you are going to do and not going to do.
  2. Be present in everything you do, and you'll experience life differently.
  3. Continuously reflect on how you are cared for and supported by others.

 Today marks the first day of the last month of the year. How will you spend these last 31 days?
