If only we could gather in bottles those high energy elevated feelings of times when we are at our best, to spray some when we need them in tougher times, wouldn’t that be great?

Or, we could examine the components of our high energy state by asking what’s happening inside us and around us.

Here are the notes of my current fragrance:

• The weather is warm and the sky is clear (I can’t control that).
• I have just had beauty appointments for my hair and nails (I can control that, I have them monthly).
• I have had a nice tan after a short pool-side vacation (with work and school’s commitments I can control that just a little).
• I am in a good place hormonally, in the spring season of my period cycle (I can’t control that but I can keep having healthy seeds that regulate my hormones).
• I am listening to amazing upbeat songs (I can control that).
• I am working on something I love which makes me excited to come to work (I can control that).
• I have shorter working hours during this month of Ramadan (A temporary condition that I am enjoying, and hope to control more in the future).
• I am eating healthy food (I can control that).
• I am doing my 4 rituals most days (I can control that).
• I am anticipating official holidays to celebrate Easter and Eid (I can’t control that, but maybe I can get prepared for other upcoming official holidays and scatter more off days throughout the year).
• I am reading and writing daily (I can control that).
• I am having healthy digital habits overall (I can control that).
• I am reading my affirmations almost daily (I can control that).
• I am not taking myself too seriously and laughing more with my friends (I can control that).

Next time I want to feel this way I just need to look at what I can control out of this list and make it happen.

What is on your list?
