It's very common to get hell bent on the beginning of a New Year needing to be defined by some kind of resolution or a laundry list of goals and ambitions. Some of which fade away once February rolls around and some of which will continue to inspire our days and months until achieved. Now as much as this can be really motivating (especially within the workspace), this too can detract us from something even more meaningful and purposeful... your ability to just BE. I would like to inspire you to know that you, exactly as you are now...the you that you really are, IS everything you seek.
As opposed to chasing more, wanting more, achieving more... could we rephrase our perspective in aiming to find more inner peace? The inner peace that is nothingness and everything, all at the same time. The inner peace that entitles an understanding that there is magic and opportunity in every single moment. Every conversation, interaction, sensation... in every single breath? Even this moment now.
So I encourage you right now.... to pause
Close down your eyes
Notice your breath
Notice as it gently travels through your nostrils
Down into your belly
Witness the sensations.. the rise, the fall. The warmth, the cool
And then just hang out there for a little while
With nothing to do but to simply notice
More mindful moments like this, is the best gift you can grant yourself.
