GOOD DAY TO BE ALIVE

It’s a good day
to be alive.

This is where we find value in the fact that we are alive.

You are here.
Begin there.

01 / THE CHANCE

Grateful for the
chance we were given.

Good Day To Be Alive is a practice of noticing that you are here.

Not a performance. Not a promise that the day will be easy.

A way to meet the life in front of you with gratitude for the chance to experience it.

02 / THE DAY

One day.
Three returns.

We practice solving daily situations in a balanced, healthy, intentional way — starting when we wake, practicing that awareness through the day, and reflecting before sleep.

01

Wake

When you wake, say it: it’s a good day to be alive.

Name one intention. Not a list. One thing you will meet with attention.

02

Practice

All day, return to the present moment — where life is happening.

No judgment. No opinion. Just awareness of where you are, right here, right now. Apply that to every person and every situation.

03

Reflect

At the end of the day, look back once.

Where were you conscious? Where were you distracted? Name one place to be a little more present tomorrow. Then stop. Do not turn the night into a trial.

04 / ABOUT

A practice made by
someone still here.

I hung a sign at the foot of my bed that said good day to be alive. When I woke, it was the first thought.
