Wow, these last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of activity. I have been working hard to get my office open so that I have a place to see my clients. After working eight hour days at one office, I've been putting in 3-4 hours a night getting the new office ready. I think it's time to slow down and take a deep breath.
We are always in such a rush to get here, go there, get this done, then that done, that we don't take the time to take care of ourselves, or to notice the disappointed look on a child's face when we tell them we don't have time right now. Life is too short to not pay attention to what is going on around us, to enjoy the moment.
We only get this moment once, it will never be exactly the same again. So, why don't we sit back, close our eyes, take a couple of deep breaths and relax. Enjoy the music in the air, it's all around us. The fragrance of fresh cut grass, or the roses blooming on the fence. The sound of rain on the roof - yes, I know we've had a lot of it lately, or the sun on our faces. The feel of a tiny hand in yours, feeling safe, secure and loved.
When you are at work give 100% of yourself to your job, but when you are at home give 100% of yourself to your spouse, your lover, your children. The same goes for when you are with friends and extended family. And when you have down time to relax, do just that. Give 100% of yourself to relaxation. You will be surprised how beneficial it is in the long run.
For me, it's time to give 100% to myself, so I'm going to go find someplace quiet and meditate on everything wonderful that I've experienced with all of my senses today.
Namaste,
Sue
