A few years ago I gave myself a 'Thankful' challenge via Instagram.
I've written about it before.
It was life changing, and affirming and really helped me see the silver lining in everything. I think that when I finished I had a more optimistic approach to life. I tend to lean that way already... but the challenge made me accountable and an active participant in life's daily miracles.
Lately I have been hovering in a less than feel-good place. It's not that I have really changed, but I am less inclined to reach for the joy. I have been settling for less enthusiasm. I have been okay with it.
Suddenly I'm not. I want to savor the sweetness of my days like I did when I was working my way through the challenge.
It's not as if the process offered exceptional opportunities for experience. It's just that I paid attention. To everything. I was able to call into question where I set my intention.
I would really examine the moments that made up that 24 hours and I would choose what moved me, or was inspiring. And mostly the simple occurrences seasoned my picture feed. But always at the end of the day I felt like I knew myself a little better.
I want to get back to that place. So, I am starting it up again. Randomly, but thoughtfully. Because it is something that I need. And I am learning to listen to the things my heart, body and soul are telling me.
I am going to try to extend upon that idea this time around. I will still use Instagram and a daily photo as my main platform. This time around though, I want to go deeper by bringing that photo here... with more.
