Enriching your life

When was the last time you did something that really enriched your life? Not just a quick win or ‘fix’ that lasted temporarily… but something that really tipped you up and made you land in a different place, outside your usual zone. It’s so easy to carry on as normal every day, meaning that enriching activities get pushed aside. This often happens to me (“I’m so busy!”), despite trying to do something enriching as often as possible.

I’ve just come back from a life-enhancing trip to Norway, where I spent some time cross-country skiing – which, for me, was a thoroughly enriching experience. It took lots of concentration, and when I wasn’t concentrating I was in awe of the spectacular landscape. I didn’t think about my to-do list, whether I was having a productive enough day, or what I was going to do tomorrow. It was completely engaging and enormously rewarding… despite struggling to move my ribs for the next couple of days! Life-enriching and in the flow: for me, a great place to be!
