How To Create Your Very Own WOW List
Adding more joy into our lives energizes us. Here’s a fun way to create your WOW List.
Ranked as the #2 most important life coaching process, it’s fun to do alone, with your team, or family.
It can also help us realize how much we really have, no matter what else is going on in our lives. Maybe it was created to help us remember what brings a big smile to our faces when business or life “get us down”. The bottom line is that putting more gratitude and joy into our lives makes us happier humans. Fill your cup up with good things, and give or live from the overflow.
How do you create a WOW List? First, find a small pad, like an assignment pad or journal. Decorate it. Let your imagination run wild!
Start your WOW List by taking notice when you are doing, seeing, or thinking about something that brings a smile to your face. Write those things in your pad. When you feel your heart smile, when you say WOW or AWE or whatever YOUR word might be, write that item in the pad and put a star by it.
Continue with this exercise for at least a month, longer is better.
Spend time looking at your WOW List for patterns. Look to see what people, places or things to add “more of” into your life. And if you’re in business or thinking about upgrading or changing careers, see if you can find things to add into your life professionally, too.
One reoccurring item on my WOW List was teaching. Since I started my business, 18 years ago, I’ve been using teaching and speaking as a way to earn additional income and attract my ideal clients.
When you add more WOW List items into your life, you’ll notice that your life is less stressful; you’ll even find more time.
Action Steps
WOW Booklets are great gift ideas. They’re wonderful to provide to clients in their Welcome Kits, as gifts from the heart, for contest give-aways, etc. Or have a Create a WOW Booklet party, with family, friends, and especially children! Decorate the pads as you talk about the things that give you extreme joy.
But don’t keep your WOW’s to yourself. Use them to create experiences with the people you love. And invite them to create their WOW experiences and share them with you, too.
