What are the things that make you feel great?
And I’m not talking about 10 seconds great… I’m talking about 10 hours great.
I’m not talking about pleasure-seeking tasks—I’m talking about soul-filling tasks.
Exercising? Walking? Journaling? Meditating? Stretching?
First of all, once you come up with your list—why not include each of those things into each of the days of your week?
Why would you ever skip out on the things that make you feel great?
Your state—mentally, physically, emotionally—affects everything else in life. And so they should get the top priority each and every day.
Especially on the days when your state is at its lowest.
Skipping state-boosting tasks when you feel off/down/awful is a mistake and only reinforces that feeling of off/down/or awful.
And, worth noting, skipping them on the days when your state is at its highest is also a mistake.
Because if you stop doing the things that make you feel great when you’re feeling great—it won’t be long until you’re no longer feeling great again.
And up and down the rollercoaster you’ll go.
Better to prioritize feeling great on all the days.
