Tracking What’s Meaningful

If you want to make your days better, mindfully choose kindness and practice self-care. Let your values lead the way. If you are wondering what this means, cause the “paws” to consider what matters to you. This may be your health, creative pursuits, work and finances, or relationships within your family and community. Another way to reflect on this is to consider your presence or how you show-up in your daily life. Do you extend empathy, patience, and calm to others? Are you more prone to be reactive? Collaborating with others requires self-care. You can choose to focus on what’s meaningful. 

Recently, Promoting Brilliance published a planner to support what’s meaningful. It’s titled, The Dog God Has Spoken Tracker. This tool is a companion resource to the daily reader, The Dog God Has Spoken. Both books are available online at Barnes & Noble. The links to these books are provided below. One caveat with this first addition, the shipping process is not quite as speedy as some online services. However, the quality of the book is far superior to most print editions.

As a natural tracker the Dog God designed this tool to make your days better. It helps plan and track your work/life creative pursuits and wellbeing priorities. Given the average dog year is about 52 days and there are 52 weeks in a human year, this resource includes 52 sets of tools to make your life better. Just like a lucky dog this tracker is agile. You can begin using it at any time of the year and it is also relevant from year-to-year. Fill in the dates each month to set and track your goals. Use it as a daily diary or a weekly planner. It encourages self-care and gratitude.

There are numerous organizations that track what is meaningful to people over the decades and by geography. In the past twenty years the significant change reported within the United States is the increasing importance of money, hobbies or recreational activities, and community activities. Health and family remain most important. However, what’s changed significantly is that work and money are superseding friendships. The other significant change is the importance of religion as it has decreased. At this same time humans across the globe are reporting the highest ratings of loneliness in every age group. Through it all family and health endure as most valuable to Americans.

The Dog God encourages you to keep your focus on what’s meaningful. The Dog God Has Spoken Tracker is designed to frame your purposeful pursuits and offer more ease and playfulness. Research has also shown that people who write down their goals are 42 percent more likely to achieve them. The significance of writing is to create clarity. You are more likely to clarify what you want to achieve when you write it down. Writing also supports your momentum and accountability to follow through. Happy tracking everybody!
