Identify the Highlights – a good friend and colleague asked me a great question on my birthday last week. She asked me what has been the highlight of the year since my last birthday.
That really got me thinking, and as I was looking for the highlight I realized that there were actually many. These are things that I would not have thought about, had I not been asked about it.
I happen to know that in my friend’s family this is a question that is asked every night. “What was your highlight today?” I think that’s a great question to ask because it gets us focusing on what’s good and what’s working, rather than on what’s not working and what we don’t like.
It’s a real energy changer.
So now I’ll ask you – what has been the highlight of your year so far? And, I invite you to ask yourself at the end of each day what your highlight for that day is. It would also be helpful to write it down, because then, when you’re struggling to find something good about your day, you can go back and look at all your highlights – and that will shift your energy.
