You Can Just Enjoy

In any situation you can take a moment to notice whether you could enjoy it more - maybe a lot more or maybe a little more - and then take action to raise your enjoyment. Turning the act of noticing into a habit yields huge gains for lifetime enjoyment. This has been the message for me lately and so it is my solemn duty to pass the message on to you. Some examples:

During a conversation someone asked me out of 10 how comfortable I was in my seat and I said 7. Once I was aware of this it was effortless for me to adjust myself to go to an 8 and then a 9 and then ask for help to reach a 10.

When given the aux cord I put on Deftones and as the song filled the room I noticed that it did not match the vibe. Before the song ended I switched to Fleetwood Mac. This change immediately elevated the energy of the room.

I have been asking over voice notes for referrals for my practitioner work. Someone suggested that after I send each ask, I say, "A success!" out loud. As I've done this, each day's ask has felt easier and easier.

I was feeling pessimistic about an upcoming call and then I remembered that I don't know the future and that the call is an opportunity to practice being present and honest and that because they reached out to me, having the call is a gift from me to them, and I felt better about it.

What's something in your life you can enjoy more?
