Hallmark might call this month Loveuary, but loving your life is a year-round goal. Falling in love with your life means being grateful for what’s currently in it and having the passion to strive for what you desire.
Take a moment to be truly grateful for something in your life. That feeling of love you just experienced is available to you every minute of the day and can grow even more with focus. Here are a couple of ways to bring more gratitude, or love, to your life:
Be grateful in the bedroom
Each morning before your feet hit the floor, say something out loud for which you are truly thankful
Each evening when you crawl into bed and set the alarm, replay three things that happened that day for which you are grateful
Share your love
At least once during each day, show someone in your life you appreciate them without using the words thank you
Send unexpected notes or texts to people in your life who have touched you in some way
Passionately pursuing your dreams is another way to love your life. Dreams are possibilities we would like to make realities. Say one of your dreams out loud… Congratulations on having the self-confidence to see potential. Whether your dream is for tomorrow, next year or even further in the future, what is one step you could do today to pursue it? Here are some possibilities:

Having dreams can fill you with desire. To turn those dreams into reality, the next step is to set goals and take action. Goals can be short or long term, but action plans flame desire and keep you moving forward.
For Loveuary and beyond, the recipe for loving your life has two very basic ingredients: feel and act grateful each day...and pursue your dreams and desires with goals and plans. Why not start today?
