In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.
It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.
We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
– Albert Schweitzer, philosopher, physician, musician, Nobel laureate (1875-1965)
Zero-in and focus on exactly what you want in your life.
Write down your wishes. A Harvard study shows that when you write them down, you have an 80% better chance of making them come true.
Action: Make a list of 50 things you want. 50 is a good number because you start with the easy and the obvious then, at the end, you include wild and crazy stuff just to finish the list. A widow in her fifties went to NASCAR racing school; it was on her list!
Envision your vitality.
Do you have “emotional vitality – a sense of energy and positive well-being in addition to being able to regulate emotions effectively”? Harvard study 2007: With high emotional vitality you are 19% less likely to develop heart disease.
Action: Take a walk, exercise, dance. Body movement releases endorphins (natural compounds) that provide a calming effect to the emotions.
Soar to bigger dreams and bigger successes.
To have ZEST in your life you must have a dream in your heart; a hope, a goal, an ambition that you want to realize.
Action: What do you want to attain, achieve or complete?
Transcend to a place of joy, peace, and vibrancy.
Increase your connection to your higher self and your higher calling.
Action: Sit quietly for 10 minutes and ask your higher self: “What advice do you have for me today?” Listen.
Fill the gap between wherever you are right now and a place where your heart is filled with joy, love and the desire to live your life fully.
To Your ZEST!
