When you think of the perfect day, what does it include? Does it include work or just relaxation?

In the fall of 2020, I was out of work and just started taking the course 90 Day VA. One of the first questions posed was along the lines of what's your vision of a perfect day. I was a single mom homeschooling two kids and I had worked from home for 7 years prior, so I knew I wanted to keep those elements. But I envisioned more to my day.

I wanted a relaxing start, beginning with yoga or a walk. I wanted to live in a walkable neighborhood, so I could grab a meal from a local cafe. I NEEDED to be near the ocean again. But I was currently in landlocked Alberta, so a lot needed to change to make my perfect day happen.

But from that day forward, I put my plan into action. I started planning a cross-country move, back to my home province of Nova Scotia (Canada's Ocean Playground 🌊), while learning how to run a virtual business and gain clients.

We moved in Sept '21 to an ocean-view off-season cottage close to where I grew up. A step closer, and it was amazing to be back home, but still not quite where I wanted to be.

So in Jan, we moved to Halifax. I see the ocean every day, I have a morning routine that includes time with my kitties, yoga or a walk (or both), my kids and I are learning about the history of the area and visiting educational attractions, and there are lots of amazing local places to check out.

A few days ago I was feeling a little blah, so I figured it was a good time to walk a few minutes past my go-to mainstream tea shop, to a local cafe. I'm so glad I did! I picked up a delicious chai latte, a samosa to heat up for lunch, and I couldn't pass up the date square that was calling my name! Hands down, this was one of the best lunches that I've had in a while!

It was when I was sitting down at my desk to work that I realized I had manifested and created the day I was looking for, just over two years ago. I did it with a positive mindset and a lot of determination and hard work.

What do you see as your perfect day? What steps are you taking to create it?
