Question #4: The Perfect Day

Yesterday, I wrote a post called 20 Questions (which is actually 36 questions, based on the New York Times article To Fall in Love with Anyone, Do This).  I didn't actually provide any of the answers to those questions I asked myself, though.  So, as promised, here is a peek at my game of 20 questions with myself:

Question #4: What would constitute a perfect day for you?

My Perfect Day:

- Wake up early to sunlight (no alarm)

- Meditate

- Do yoga/stretching

- Paint

- Cook & eat

- Hike to the top of a mountain/cliffside/wood

- Have good food with good people

- Take a boat ride at sunset

- Make/listen to good music with good people (on a beach/on the water somewhere)

- End the day swapping massages/ taking care of my body

- Fall asleep in someone's arms

Some people over-simplify things, some over-complicate them.  I over-think things.  That doesn't always mean over-complicating them, but I actually came up with two responses to My Perfect Day.

In reality, there are many versions of my perfect day.  They include:

- Waking up to the sunlight

- Yoga & meditation

- Good tea on a still, sunny, warm morning

- Painting (in natural sunlight)

- Water (swimming, scuba diving, boating, and/or gazing at a lake/river/ocean)

- Active/Sporty something (hiking, swimming, ice skating, snow boarding, yoga, frisbee, baseball, volleyball, etc.)

- Warmth (campfire, fireplace & hot cocoa/tea in autumn/winter, sunny beach/mountain somewhere in spring/summer)

- Good people (the funny, kind-hearted, loving, no drama type!)

- Trees (hiking, walking outdoors, hanging in a treehouse, climbing trees, etc.)

- Music - give me an acoustic guitar or play some Reggae or Funk or Techno and a group of dancing people & don't judge me for swaying however I please, and my day will be complete!

- Good food - healthy, feel-good, deliciousness

- Massage
- Tactile connection with another person - if I went the day without a hug, it would be incomplete

- Person who loves me holding me as we fall asleep

The night after I wrote this, I made my perfect day come true (minus the partner to sleep next to bit, but I'm 100% okay with that)!  I firmly believe that telling the Universe what you enjoy/what you want is the first step in making it become a reality, but more about that another day.

This is such a beautiful question, and I'm sure all of you have an answer.  What would constitute a perfect day for you?  I'd love to hear your responses in the comments section below.

Message of the Day: Spend some time getting to know yourself every day; you might be able to make your perfect day a reality!

...Or don't.  It won't change my reality.  Cheers!
