If you’re feeling anything like me, this upcoming election might be a point of stress. Let’s just take a moment together to breathe.
Inhale slowly... feel the air fill your lungs, hold…
and exhale, letting everything go. 🌬️
Ahhh... isn’t that a bit better?
Now, about that vote. It’s something that feels so big yet mostly out of our control. But here’s the good news—this post isn’t about trying to sway you one way or another. Instead, it's a refreshing shift in how we might think about voting, but with something you have complete control over.
Think of voting as more than just a decision on a ballot; it’s about the power of choice in every part of our lives. What if every small choice you made was like casting a vote for the life you want to create?
Each time you choose kindness, you’re voting for compassion. Every time you set aside some time for rest, you're casting a vote for well-being. And when you embrace things that truly bring you joy, you’re voting for more of that energy in your life.
What Are You Voting for in Your Life?
We’re not just spectators; we’re active participants. When we see each choice as a vote for what we value and desire, our decisions start to hold a new kind of meaning.
This week, try an experiment: treat each choice as a “vote” toward the life you want. Here are some examples to inspire your day:
- Craving calm? Cast a vote by giving yourself a moment to breathe before reacting.
- Want more joy? Do something just for fun, no matter how small.
- Seeking growth? Embrace a challenge as a chance to learn.
These tiny, intentional choices will add up to create a life that reflects who you want to be.
This Week's Challenge
Cast your “votes” carefully this week. Notice the choices you make and how each one contributes to the energy and experiences in your life.
Here's to voting for a life that feels true and fulfilling,
xoxo Tracy
