Everyday Happiness - Finding Harmony and Bliss
Education:Self-Improvement
What if instead of focusing 100% of our attention for 2023 on what our goals and achievements will be, we take a step back and look at the foundation rooted in how we want to live. Perhaps, we get to the same end goal.

Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in about 2 minutes a day, through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life.
I'm your host Katie Jefcoat, and this past week I was at a half-day retreat with one of the companies I do consulting work with. While my section was time, boundaries and managing our energy so we can create peak performance that is in flow and doesn’t feel so forced, what I want to touch on today is what the owner of the company talked about.
He is the leader of a large and influential real estate group in DC, and what we call out here the DMV, which is basically DC, and the surrounding Maryland and Northern Virginia area. Here’s the thing. He believes, and he’s proven this over and over again himself and with his team that when we focus on our life and build a solid foundation around what we want our life to be, the business part of that will support it. So his team retreat was almost exclusively about life planning for the next year.
He asked some thoughtful, journal prompting questions that I want to share with you today.

So, here are the 4 questions he walked his team through:
Everyone will have a different set of ideals and actions to get there and that is the beauty of creating a life that is a solid foundation for the goals we desire to achieve.
Perhaps boundaries are something you want to focus on to achieve and embody the person you want to be. Perhaps it’s slowing down. Whatever is right for you.
I wanted to share this with you because so much of what we want begins with how we live.
I invite you to consider these prompts in some of your reflection and as always, kindness is contagious, so go out there and sprinkle that kindness. It’s just the beginning and you can be part of the ripple effect that brings more kindness into the world we live in.
