Thank you to all of my friends and family for supporting me on this journey. I have received so much positive feedback already from yesterday's blog that I am exhilarated to share more of my experiences and adventures. It seems as though the majority of us truly are caught up in the "rush rush rush" nonsense these days, and for what? Well I shall remind you now and many a time comin' - stop rushing to accomplish or relax! Take that very word OUT of your vocabulary! But nay you say, "I still have to do all of these things right now!" Well if that is the case my friends, in the very least, ENJOY doing them! Snarl at me you might, but I promise a profound sense of peace will overtake you when you start to enjoy everything your put your time into. Relish in the positives of your work and the outcomes of the time spent.
While the true enjoyment of life does boil down to balance, it is also a task that will wave here and there, never a constant as much as we might try. If there weren't fluctuations, we wouldn't cherish the times when we find the true center of our balance! But if you are just beginning that journey of finding balance now, as am I, here's my best advice:
In the very least, breeeeeathe with every activity you do and enjoy the time spent doing them. Enjoy walking the pup, stop thinking about getting home to cook dinner. Enjoy knocking out the last few slides of that presentation, stop thinking about how it will go. Enjoy sprucing up the yard, stop thinking about the next project on your list. Enjoy shopping for groceries, stop thinking about how much it will cost. Enjoy your partner, your friends, your human and critter babies alike. And while you're at your daily grind of wake up, shower, eat, work, feed children, sleep, and do it all over again - enjoy the sun on your arms, the wind grasping the trees, the birds singing their songs. Because no matter what, we all have so much to be thankful for with every moment of every day. We all have so many accomplishments that we achieve every day, from even the simplest of tasks. Stop getting caught up in the work it takes to achieve them, relish in the outcomes and joys of every activity you would normally rush to do. The smell of fresh laundry, the look of a trimmed yard, the happiness of fed children, the contentment of a listened-to partner, the kudos from a boss on finishing the budget....there is a reason and purpose to it all. Enjoy those reasons and purpose, be in the moment, breathe, give thanks and enjoy!
Forgive and let live. XOXO
