Ideal day - 1 min read


Have you ever dreamed of an ideal day? Better still, how often have you pursued an ideal day?

In the rush of work, family, and personal goals, we easily lose sight of true joy and purpose. Yet creating an ideal day through balance becomes a powerful way to realign with what actually matters.

Discovering the Priorities

Living intentionally means making conscious choices. How we spend our time, our interactions, and feelings as the day unfolds. Every small shift brings a meaningful change to our overall well-being.

Visualising an ideal day

  • Set the scene by finding a quiet place. Minimise distractions. Now close your eyes and imagine your perfect day, beginning to end.
  • Try to think specifically about your actions, company, activities, and feelings throughout the day.
  • Identify the key elements and note down the most outstanding moment - activities, interactions, or feelings.
  • Start small by picking just one element you can introduce in reality.
  • Make the change and observe how it impacts your sense of balance and fulfilment by noticing what shifts.

Here are my favourites that add to my ideal day

Family Front  

Every alternate evening and on weekends, we feed and care for our community dogs. Our prayer time after dinner, coupled with short casual discussions, is often the highlight of the day. On holidays, we cook together or take turns, turning it into a fun activity filled with lively conversations.

Personal Space

My morning prayer time and the Bible App readings set the day right. Some stretches and cycling at the gym, spending time with our dogs, and blogging are my ideal bits of the day.

Having moved to a different role, staying relevant and informed takes top priority. So apart from completing routine tasks and the occasional highs of cracking riddles in a new assignment, I set aside time for podcasts, articles, and constant learning.  I also schedule regular chats with a good friend who helps me with ideas, different perspectives, and new insights.

Choose one element of your ideal day, implement it this week, and let magic unfold!
