10 4 10 keys

My 10 4 10  list is working well. I have managed to memorize it alphabetically in my head.. so whenever I need a boost or have some quiet time tomyself I can run through it in my head - it makes me feel connected and it enables me to reconnect with my values and the things that make me whole. In fact at the end of my Bikram yoga class yesterday I ran through the list in my head..

When I was studying for exams at University I used to condense down my essays  into a handful of keywords. So that when I entered the exam room I could immediately jot down my list of words that would magically unfold into 12 pages of text. These words unlocked other lists of words which then fleshed out into whole paragraphs. Simple. My essays were memorized down into 6 or 7 words. Once my words were written down I felt calm, at ease and then the rest of the 3 hours flowed like a river ! . I think I even smiled once my words were down. I had remembered them and I knew that I could relax and be confident that the exam would be a success.

My 10 4 10 list is just such an exercise. Its not a random list of words. Its a list of 10 keys - each of which unlock a plethora of emotions and experiences, dreams and desires for a life less ordinary. My list is a reminder of where I need to focus my energy and attention.
