ESSENTIAL * SIMPLE * SATISFYING
WELCOME TO
WELCOME TO
LIFE IS SHORT. WE WANT TO SPEND OUR DAYS DOING THINGS WE LOVE, WHAT IS MEANINGFUL AND SATISFYING.
I LIKE TO REFER TO THESE POSITIVE ENERGY INDUCING EXPERIENCES AS SWEET SPOTS.
I’M DAWN HERRING AND BELOW YOU WILL FIND A LIST OF MY FAVORITE CATEGORIES WHERE THE SWEET WORKS FOR ME. PERHAPS THEY WILL WORK FOR YOU TOO.
WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, HERE THEY ARE:
SPIRITUAL PRACTICE
FOR ME, THIS INCLUDES SINGING SONGS I’VE WRITTEN FROM SPIRIT, SHARING WHAT’S ON MY HEART WITH SPIRIT (APPRECIATION, REQUESTS, IDEAS, QUESTION/ANSWER), MEDITATION IN THE FORM OF WRITING, STUDY OF SPIRITUAL TEXTS, POETRY, SONG WRITING AND RECORDING AUDIO/LYRICS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
WHATEVER YOUR SPIRIT IS DRAWN TO WOULD QUALIFY AS A SWEET SPOT.
SONG
FOR ME, THIS INCLUDES SONG WRITING FROM SPIRIT, SINGING MY SPIRIT SONGS AND OTHER SONGS THAT INSPIRE ME, AND LISTENING TO MUSIC THAT SPEAKS TO MY SOUL. THIS CAN ALSO INCLUDE WRITING DOWN THE LYRICS IN MY JOURNAL IF THERE IS A MESSAGE FOR ME THERE.
WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU MUSICALLY OR JUST SITTING IN SILENCE WOULD QUALIFY A SWEET SPOT. SOME PREFER NO MUSIC AT ALL.
STILLNESS
FOR ME, WHEN I TAKE TIME TO USE MY SENSES, ESPECIALLY HEARING, IT ENABLES ME TO BE VERY PRESENT, PAYING ATTENTION TO MY SURROUNDINGS AND JUST BEING STILL. SOMETIMES I DO THIS IN MY LIVING ROOM CHAIR. OTHER TIMES WHEN LYING IN BED WITH THE LIGHTS OUT OR FIRST THING IN THE MORNING WHEN I WAKE UP. IT CAN ALSO BE REFERRED TO AS PRESENCE OR AWARENESS. IT CAN BE VERY CALMING AND MEDITATIVE.
WHATEVER YOUR SENSES ARE DRAWN TO THAT INDUCES RELAXATION WOULD QUALIFY AS A SWEET SPOT.
STORIES
FOR ME, WHETHER THEY BE IN THE FORM OF BOOKS, MOVIES, PODCASTS, MAGAZINES, INTERVIEWS OR SIMPLY CONVERSATION WITH A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND, STORIES ARE ESSENTIAL TO RELATING AND BEING UNDERSTOOD. WE LEARN HOW MUCH WE HAVE IN COMMON WITH ANOTHER THROUGH STORIES. THEY CAN BIND US TOGETHER IN GENUINE FRIENDSHIP THAT IS MEANINGFUL AND SATISFYING.
WHATEVER STORY IS MEANINGFUL TO YOU THAT RESONATES ON A SOUL LEVEL WOULD QUALIFY AS A SWEET SPOT.
SEEING
FOR ME, ONE OF MY FAVORITE WAYS OF ‘SEEING’ IN THIS WORLD IS THROUGH JOURNALING AS SELF REFLECTION. THE CLARITY IT BRINGS GIVES ME NEW SIGHT AS I RECOGNIZE PATTERNS AND WAYS OF THINKING THAT ARE AND AREN’T SERVING ME ENABLING ME TO DETERMINE WHAT POSITIVE CHANGE NEEDS TO BE PURSUED. DREAM JOURNALING IS A DAILY PRACTICE FOR ME AS IT SHOWS ME PATTERNS IN MY NIGHT STORIES THAT CAN HELP ME KNOW WHAT ACTION I SHOULD TAKE TO ALIGN WITH THE NARRATIVE I WANT TO SEE. PRAYER ALSO GIVES ME A CLEARER WAY OF SEEING WHICH I WOULD REFER TO AS SPIRITUAL AWARENESS.
WHATEVER ENABLES YOU TO SEE MORE CLEARLY AND BRING YOU INTO ALIGNMENT WITH WHO YOU ARE WOULD QUALIFY AS A SWEET SPOT.
SPIRAL
FOR ME, I LOVE USING SPIRAL MOTIFS AS A DESIGN ELEMENT IN MY DOODLES, BRINGING ENERGY VISUALLY TO WHAT I WANT TO PORTRAY IN MY DAILY LIFE. A SPIRAL TO ME REPRESENTS CREATIVITY, PERSONAL EXPRESSION, GOING DEEP, AND GROWING INTO WHO I AM MORE FULLY, BRINGING POSITIVE CHANGE AND PERSONAL POWER.
WHATEVER CREATES A GOOD FEELING OF ALIGNMENT AND CREATIVE ENERGY WOULD QUALIFY AS A SWEET SPOT.
SATISFACTION
FOR ME, EXPERIENCING A TRUE SENSE OF SATISFACTION IN ALL FACETS OF MY LIFE IS TRULY IMPORTANT TO ME. THE SWEETEST SPOT OF SATISFACTION IS FEELING GOOD WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR, ENJOYING MY FOOD CHOICES TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE, REALLY SAVORING THOSE FLAVORS AND TEXTURES, AND ALSO ENJOYING THAT FEELING OF A JOB WELL DONE, WHETHER I’M IN THE OFFICE DOING MY TASKS, PAINTING IN MY STUDIO, OR TIDYING UP MY LIVING SPACE.
WHATEVER BRINGS YOU THE TRUEST SENSE OF SATISFACTION WITHOUT STRESS OR PRESSURE WOULD QUALIFY AS A SWEET SPOT.
I TRUST THIS LIST HAS GIVEN YOU FOOD FOR THOUGHT CONCERNING WHAT IS SWEET FOR YOU AND WHERE YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK FOR THE SWEET THAT YOU HAVE YET TO DISCOVER.
YOU’RE WELCOME TO SHARE WHAT IS SWEET FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.
EMAIL ME DIRECT AT [email protected].
I’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.
I ALSO WANTED TO REMIND YOU THAT WHAT WORKS FOR ONE PERSON MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU. NO JUDGEMENT OR PRESSURE SHOULD BE THE SOURCE OF YOUR PURSUIT OF WHAT IS SWEET. NO COMPARING OR QUESTIONING THAT LEAVES YOU FEELING CONFUSED OR INADEQUATE.
JUST WHAT WORKS FOR YOU.
JUST LISTEN TO THAT INTUITIVE VOICE OF SPIRIT THAT CALLS, FOLLOW YOUR CURIOSITY AND HAVE SOME FUN.
PERMISSION GRANTED!
KEEP IT SWEET!
