What’s Your Temperature?

February 19, 2019 Karl Bimshas

Are you running hot or cold today? Let’s find out. Give yourself 0-10 points for each behavior.

-Did you act with kindness?
-Do you feel grateful?
-Do you have curiosity?
-Did you show enthusiasm?
-Have you demonstrated determination?
-Do you possess confidence?
-Did you act cheerfully?
-Are you flexible?
-Are you healthy?
-Did you contribute to others?

Total them all. How are you doing? What’s your forecast for tomorrow?
I challenge you to take your temperature every once in a while and track your responses over time. Is there a cooling trend, or are you in the middle of a heat wave?

Some days are going to be gloomy and overcast, others filled with blue skies and sunshine — that’s life.

What kind of climate are you creating with your behavior? Are you unpredictable with a wide variance of high’s and lows, or is your outlook predictable, pleasant, and comfortable to be around?

People who act with kindness, feel gratitude, have curiosity, show enthusiasm, demonstrates determination, possesses confidence, act cheerfully, are flexible, are healthy, and contribute to others, generally, bring their own sunshine.

What’s your goal? What is your ideal temperature for this season of your life?

Are you running hot or cold today?
