The quality of life
Last week I sent out a question using google forms. You may have been seen it:)
What's one thing that improves the quality of your life?
This question came off the back of conversations I’d had, the week before, where people had really made me think about the word quality in life.
Quality… that shift in our being - when your body feels lighter, your mind gets quieter, and somehow you have energy for things that normally exhaust you.
We talked about special occasions and making quality times happen but also when it pops up in ordinary ways, or when there are things others do that make a difference. Quality… that feeling when life feels more spacious, more connected, and you notice it feels different.
So much of what we do with SHOOP® is to find the lightness and I was intrigued what do people say in answer to - What's one thing that improves the quality of your life?

Laughter
Daily reflection: (Some examples of reflective questions) What did I do towards the direction of my vision.(hopes and dreams) How have I been useful to myself, my family, my groups, my community and nation. What did I do today this is new and different? (…and more)
To spend more time simply observing what’s around me. So much to see, feel and understand. Not just trying to get everything out from books and social media
Having friends and family that I can spend time with and talk to
I did put a serious answer for this, yesterday, but waking up this morning it actually feels like Sheffield United taking 3 points at Hillsborough today might be the real truth.
