8/9 Whole Life Wednesday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOVER!

Annie and Tammy climb the tall rope. 
It's Whole Life Wednesday and this week's healthy lifestyle challenge is to do something you love every day. The instructions are simple:

1. Take at least 10 minutes each day to do something you love.
2. It does not need to have any practical purpose. You can do it simply because you love it.
3. You can choose something different each day.

The Whole Life Challenge folks think this is an important lifestyle practice because: 

"We all do things we have to do, we all do things we don’t like to do, and we’ll all do things we get paid to do. After all that, there is often little time left to do things we really love to do.

​And doing what we love can seem selfish when there is so much “obligation” in our lives.

When our motivations are external, i.e. something is expected, “good,” or owed, we have a strong social incentive to get it done first. We tell ourselves that when our debts are paid, we’ll allow ourselves a little pleasure. Until the world is taken care of, it doesn’t feel right to take time for ourselves.

But it is the things we love that give meaning to life.

And people who have meaning in their lives give back to the world even when they’re not doing anything.

Wait, how does that work?

Consider that you were born with gifts — not things to give away, but unique ways that you appreciate the world. Given there are infinite ways to appreciate the world, your development and enjoyment of your gifts may be the best way to share with the world an entirely different way of being — your way of being. And that light that you shine may illuminate a discovery for someone else. They may find their passion or they may simply see that life can be lived with love instead of obligation.
​
This week’s practice is an exercise in not putting yourself last, and making the time to do something you love. And doing something for yourself may be the best thing you’ll ever do for someone else."
