Day 2,963

Growth:

Sometimes we feel “nudges” to take a certain action, one which we likely would not have taken on our own. I don’t always follow them like I should, but I have yet to regret taking action whenever I’ve followed a nudge. Even though my day was packed I paused and followed through on three specific nudges and they made all the difference to my happiness today. Fingers crossed that they did more for the others they were intended for, I’ll have to wait to see those results. Regardless it reminded me of the importance of taking action on them as soon as I feel them. There’s never regret for taking action, there’s only been regret at not acting on the nudges in the past.

Appreciation:

During my drive home I fired up an audiobook for a while and it got my gears turning. After a while I had to pause it and drive in silence as I started to piece together ideas of an upcoming project I want to work on. I’ve got time set aside, I’ve got the tools I need, and I’ve got a plan, but after taking in some insights from the book I had several additional ideas of ways to vastly improve my project. So pumped to start working on it in a few weeks!

What really helped today was the spark of inspiration from the audiobook coupled with the extra space to think on the drive. I was almost tempted to drive an extra few miles just to finish the thought I was working through, but thanks to the epic sunset (more on that in a moment) I did the right thing and paused my thinking to savor the view.

Presence:

On my drive up this morning there was an awesome moment in which I had a very chill song playing (The Woods by Hollow Coves) and I saw a large whitetail buck standing in an empty field in the dawn light. On the way home the western skies were painted with dark pink and purple waves from the sunset. Driving may get tiring, but there are so many wonderful sights to savor on the way to and from work!

Thanks!!!
