I am introducing a new element of audio here at Refresh Daily! I have recorded the blog post below so you have to option of listening in addition to or instead of reading. You are welcome to leave a comment below if you listen and share your feedback. 

Dawn's Ten Life Directives

I ran into an interesting series of videos on YouTube called The Ten Rules for Success hosted by Evan Carmichael. He takes clips of folks being interviewed and creates a list of rules for success based on what the person shares.

I found this to be insightful and thought provoking, and so much so, out of creative curiosity, I decided to come up with a list of my own. I wrote them down late 2016 and I've decided to share them with you here, so you can see what Directives I follow for a more Creative, Joy-Filled Aligned path in this present life. 

You are welcome to consider these directives for your personal application and maybe even come up with a few of your own (which you're welcome to share in the comments below, if you'd like). 

It's important to know how we live and why we live the way we do and to be very deliberate about our decisions, choices and actions since we know they will not only impact ourselves as individuals but also those around us, be it family, friends, neighbors, communities and the world wide, especially if we share it in this digital world of the Internet. 

Hope my list of Directives will give you food for thought and some creative inspiration. 
1. Stay Aligned with Who You Are
2. Appreciate Yourself for Who You Are
3. Validate Your Emotions and Feelings
4. Nurture Your Soul
5. Stay Connected To Spirit
6. Express Yourself Creatively Every Day
7. Follow Your Curiosity
8. Honor Your Preferences, Your Personality and Your Purpose 
9. Give Yourself Permission to do something daily that lifts your spirit and leaves you feeling fabulous. 
10. Say No to anything that does not honor your Well Being. 
And here's a bonus Directive:
11. Find Your Truth that keeps you centered and grounded so you will recognize illusion when you see it. 

And there you have it. 
These directives came immediately to mind as I wrote them. They are part of the basic tenants I share here at Refresh with Dawn Herring, and here on this blog, Refresh Daily. 

Journaling Prompt:
Make a list of your life principles or directives that you already follow or that you would like to implement in your own life. You may want to detail what each one means to you and why you want to initiate this positive change in your life. 

Art Journaling/Doodle Prompt: 
Using a 2 page spread in your art journal, create a visual honoring of the principals you live by. Use pens and markers to doodle the lettering or use alpha stamps. Use the colors that inspire positive change you want to make, perhaps a color that is new to you that you're really drawn to right now. 

EnJOY your life today, and may JOY find you in the most unexpected places.
