The road before me presents opportunities to expand and grow and chances to rest and reflect. Today is a resting day, tomorrow is an expanding day. I will take time today to be quiet and centered, enjoying the moments as they unfold. Giving myself time to dream and envision hopes, then breathe and relax in the present. So often when it is a slow day, I clutter the time with busywork, noise and worries, then I wonder why I'm exhausted, worn out, and impatient. I learned when I was young not to stand still, it was harder to hit a moving object. So I stayed very busy in order to avoid being hurt. I worked hard to please others and prove that my existence had worth and value. It was dangerous to relax.
I am consciously choosing to slow down today
and be still. I no longer have to work so hard. It is safe to stop and take time to renew and refresh. Breathing in I calm my body, breathing out I smile and know it is a wonderful moment.
