268-Are You Living Your Best Life?

My then 5-year-old gave me a much-needed reminder about what it is like to be living your best life simply through the joy of Slurpee. But, as an adult, how do you know if you are living your best life? Tune in today!

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and a year or so ago, my little boy was sitting in the bathtub. My little guy loves baths, and he said “hey mommy, I’m living my best life”.  It’s not the first time he’s said this and I thought it was so interesting.  So it got me thinking.

 

Because he “thinks” he’s living his best life, he probably is.  Our mind is such an interesting tool when it comes to our happiness.  

 

A couple of years ago, he was riding in the big red basket of a Target shopping cart as we were running around picking up a few things.  Before we started, I got him a small slurpee at the refreshment stand at Target, you know the one ;).    He was thrilled, and didn't fuss for a larger size.  Happy to get what we gets.  And then, as we were zooming down the aisles and was sipping his bright red cherry slurpee filled with food dye and excessive amounts of sugar, he said to me for the first time “mommy, I’m living my best life” and I replied, “yes, yes you are”.    

 

So I invite you to think about this today, are you living your best life?  Is there one moment that you can be so grateful for today, that you think to yourself, hey, I’m living my best life at this moment. 

 

And, don’t hide it.  I want to hear what your best life moment is today.  Let’s connect on social at @everydayhappinesswithkatie and join the community on the hashtags #IntentionalMargins and #everydayhappinesswithkatie on Instagram
