A Simple Way to a Life You Love: Be a “Lights Detective”

by Bonnie

Such a  simple way to a life you love    —  do more of what you love!

In my last post in this series,  Make a Lights List,  I shared one way to discover or reconnect with what you love so you can do more of it.

Here’s another way to discover what you love.

Become a light detective.

Take 24 hours (or more) and go on a mission to learn more about what lights you up, what energizes and enlivens you, what you love.

Be aware and awake. Give up knowing and just notice without the filters of your opinions, judgments, history, and so on.

Gather clues.  Which activities and interactions light you up? Which knock your lights out?

As you move through your day, pay close attention to your energy. Keep asking, “Am I more alive, more energized, and lights on? Or am I duller, more drained, and lights off?”

Using these clues,  do more of what you love, what energizes and enlivens you, and less of what drains you.

I hope you will allow yourself to do more of what you love. When you do this you’ll be happier, those around you will be positively affected, and who knows how this may even ripple out into the world.
