Mindful Living

There are days when life feels crowded by millions of details clamoring for attention and each one telling me it’s more important than the rest.  It’s easy to become overwhelmed and either go into overdrive or shut down.  I will blindly move through the day indiscriminately knocking off one item from my “To Do’ list after another wearing myself out or become paralyzed and thoughtlessly sit for hours in front of the TV or computer screen wasting time.  All or nothing becomes my motto.

Today, I choose to sit quietly breathing and grounding myself.  I will take time to be still and focus my attention; centering myself in now-ness and here-ness.   I can quiet the ‘hurry up’ voice within and move mindfully into this day with intention to focus on presence no matter how I choose to spend my time.
