VIGOR

Living the Word with Purpose

September 28, 2019 by clutterbusting Leave a Comment

As a reminder, I selected purpose as my 2019 word. And I thought, as we close the chapter on another month, that I would check in on where I am with my purposeful focus in 2019.

Just like everyone, life can get in the way of my intentions (recall VIGOR©). I shared in June that I had planned to return to my journaling and while I have not done it daily, I have increased my journaling since then and especially in September. I have also recommitted to daily meditation. The goal is that these two activities will help me be aware of my purpose daily which will enable me to make choices more in line with my purpose.

Reset. Check.

Living with Relationships

As previously mention, besides “R” standing for routine, I realized that there was a R2 and R3. I posted about resilience last week and today I wanted to talk about R3 which is relationships.

Relationships are about the conversations we have, connecting with people and being in the moment.

It’s also about the relationship you have with yourself. It’s about being gentle with yourself just as you would be with a friend or family member.

Do you take time to nature or develop your relationships? What relationships are important to you? Take a minute to evaluate the priority these take in your life and if you do not life your answers, make a plan to make a change.

Living with Resilience

When I first came up with the VIGOR© approach, I selected routine as a focus. But as I further looked at this concept, I realized that “R helped frame two other components. One was resilience and the other was relationships.

Resilience is about how well you bounce back or are you willing and able to refill your glass when it keeps getting drained. And it is also about how you can access activation or in other words can you access your motivation and energy.

Focusing on resilience and relationship is about living optimistically, with pleasure and zest.

So, on a scale of 1 to 10, how resilient are you? And based on your answer, are there things you can do to help refill the glass.

I will post about relationships next.

Living with Routine

R is for routine or daily practices.

Daily practices are tasks that are non-negotiable and that will set you up for success and help you move forward to take back your life. And routines are things you set up in order to keep you on track or to avoid becoming overwhelmed.

You may have heard the nursery rhyme “this is the way we wash our clothes…”
Creating daily practices helps to ensure tasks happen on a regular basis and that attention is given to the important as well as the urgent. A routine can include tasks relating to your health, to organization or home chores or work responsibilities.

A routine can also keep things on track when life happens, and you must go to plan B. Routines can help you refocus and make decisions about priorities or even help you manage time and self-care when stuff happens in your life.

For me having a routine keeps the important a priority for me and allows me to not get stuck or take steps backwards. Because it contains items, I need to do to support myself such as meditation or things I will lose sight of in the busyness of the day like clean my purse and water my plants. These are things that keep me organized and resilient even when work or other items cause me to redirect.

Here is an example from my routine: [Read more…] about Living with Routine

Life is challenging. That is a good thing, yet we can become stuck and overwhelmed.
