What is the most important feeling you could have today? No matter what happens, how life rolls out for you today…what feeling do you want to feel?

Do you ever even think about that?

Mostly we think about what we have to do. Everything we want to accomplish. There are the to-do lists and the appointments. The classes we signed up for and clients we have on the schedule. The commitments we’ve made and the dinners to be planned and then executed. Okay, I get it. I have this stuff, too.

But what if feelings came first? I think we can let feelings help direct our day instead of leaving them to chance. To do that, we’ve got to take a moment to name them, to be intentional about it. Here are a few examples.

I want to feel rested, useful, inspired, peaceful, healthy, at ease, confident, calm, carefree, connected. Pick one. Choose something not on this list. There are literally hundreds of options. Choose a feeling you want to feel today. Let that feeling help you decide what to do and how to be.

Why not give it a try?
