This day is a day to reflect on where you are at in your life, are you accomplishing all that you have wanted in your family life, social life, financial life and so on. To some this day may seem a bit too serious but if you are less than pleased with some area of your life this day may be a great time to figure out why.
We believe that Life Evaluation is not a bad thing; we also believe it should not be confined to just one day. When it is time to evaluate life one just knows, either something is not going right, they are unhappy, or things just seem a bit unbalanced. Taking stock of what you have and what you desire in the future is not to “serious” as some say and does not have to be a scary thing, however just like everything else moderation is key. If you find yourself evaluating life decisions far too often then you need to give yourself a break and look forward not back, if you consider yourself in a “bad” place then using this day to reflect and focus on your what is good.
Evaluate Your Life Day is not a day to be harsh on yourself, it is a time to lovingly accept where you are and create where you want to be. To move you along the right path here are some great quotes about reevaluating life:
Take a step back, evaluate what is important, and enjoy life. – Teri Garr
“You are the only common denominator in everything that has happened to you in life, be it good or bad. To learn/grow from these experiences, you must accept the role you played in each of them. ― A.C. Anderson
“It takes courage…to endure the sharp pains of self-discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.” ― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles”
“Evaluate what you want – because what gets measured gets produced.”- James A. Belasco
“I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestioning ability of man to evaluate his life by a conscious endeavor” – Henry David Thoreau
“A Truthful Evaluation Of Yourself Gives Feedback For Growth and Success”― Brenda Johnson Padgitt
Some things you can do to gauge where you want to be is to take a life evaluation quiz or complete life evaluation questionnaire. If you find those options to impersonal simply start by making a grateful list of all the wonderful things you have from the food you eat to the people in your life. Next make a Desires List what do you truly want to flow into your life, is it more happiness, if so what makes you happy? Do you desire a new home or a child, whatever it make be write it out, and write it out in two ways:
- I desire the white house on 2nd street
- I am grateful I live on the white house on 2nd street
By doing you this you can picture in your mind what you desire and what it is like being in that place or having that thing.
