Live The Vibrant Life
Picture this: You’re driving through a scenic canyon, the sun kissing your face, and the wind weaving through your fingers outside of your open window. It’s a moment of joy that reminds us of the beauty in little pleasures. This is the feeling I want to capture today, the simple fun in everyday living that makes life worth living.
Take a moment and imagine yourself on a rollercoaster, with the wind in your hair and the adrenaline running through your veins. You’re living life to the fullest. Now, in your mind strip away what makes the rollercoaster possible, the tracks. Scary, right? Without precisely laid tracks to guide the coaster, you get total mayhem. Life is a crazy ride demanding a balance of freedom and structure. To genuinely relish the highs and navigate the inevitable lows, we need order to provide us with a feeling of direction and purpose to enjoy the experience. Today, we’ll explore how embracing this balance empowers us to live a vibrant life.
Today’s topic is that gentle nudge we all need: Clean Your Room. If you’re like me, you tend to go in cycles. I’m pretty good at keeping things clean, but now and then I get thrown off my groove and I need to get myself back on track. I’m sure if I went back and closely looked at the patterns in my life I would see a correlation between times of my inner turmoil and the times I let my spaces fall into disorder. I’m willing to bet it’s the same with you and we’re going to get into reasons behind that today.
Today is Leap Day, that elusive extra day we get once every four years. Leap Day is a reminder that sometimes life gives us an extra moment, a bonus chance to step outside our comfort zones and embrace change. Today’s episode is all about taking that leap – whether it’s in your personal or professional life, or maybe even a leap of faith. Let’s seize new opportunities with gusto!

On particularly rough days when I’m sure I can’t possibly endure, I like to remind myself that my track record for getting through bad rough days so far is 100%…and that’s pretty good.
