Always have something to look forward to


 

How to always have something to look forward to by tealpony

"I seem to go from one holiday or leisure outing to the next mentally. I know I have things to look forward to, but on the other hand I've learned that it's also important to live in the moment."

How I did it: I plan and consider the next project I have coming up. Just don't lose sight of living in the moment and enjoying NOW.  It's a balance.  I look forward to dates I have coming up, yet don't lose sight of what I should be taking in right now.

    We will be up in the Blue Mountains staying with another daughter and son-in-law, helping them set out a new garden. What fun…!

    Family time ~ I love it so very much :)

    I think Reading festival is the next thing that I’m looking forward to as I had my spa day yesterday.

    I know it’s over 3 months away but it’s going to be fun and hubby and I are both looking forward to it.

    A Lighter Workload at the Office 2 months ago

    I’m looking forward to this month having shorter workdays for me, for not spending 10 to 12 hours at the office.

    With fewer hours at the office, I’m looking forward to taking care of things around our home, to give it some much-needed spring cleaning and decluttering.
