Day 8 - what is important to you?

It is really important to your well being to know what you enjoy doing, what is important to you and planning time on these activities.

What is most important to you and what do you most enjoy doing? Most important person is my partner and the pivot around which the point of everything revolves. I enjoy the time we spend together just watching a movie or going on holiday and doing holiday things. I also enjoy the solitary pursuit of creating music or being absorbed in a book. When did you last do them? Holiday time: about two weeks ago. Music/books: in the last week. Just watching a movie together: last night. When are you next going to do them? holiday: four weeks. Music/books: tomorrow. Movie: tonight.

Write down what success looks like, feels like and sounds like to you right now in your life and what it will be like in five years time.

Success looks like a brilliant light - sunlight. It feels like a deep excitement in the pit of the stomach. It sounds like the lapping of water and the sounds of seabirds. Success in five years time will look like a warm glow - sunrise with that blue-morning kind-of-light. It will feel like contentment. It will sound like the chink of coffee cups on outdoor tables and the sound of a harbour, with sails flapping and the shingle sighing.
