Realize. . .
It’s a word we hear a lot these days. But unfortunately, if you’re like many, it’s not something you are fully in touch with or practice often. If you’re a chronic multi-tasker, schedule-obsessed planner, or generally busy person, it can be hard to be “mindful.”
But practicing mindfulness doesn’t need to be something else you schedule into your day. In fact, there are quite a few ways that you can “sneak” mindfulness into your daily life, with hardly any adjustments to your normal routine!
Activities can be a amazing opportunity to practice presence, to be so in the moment that you cease to aimlessly worry and mental wander through old ways and days.
Yoga can be a great activity for many reasons. I enjoy yoga, but it’s not something I practice as often as I should. Yoga can be considered many things including exercise – the fast-paced flow of a class can get your heart rate up and keep you focused on how your body is moving, as well as the cadence of your breath.
The real point of such activities beyond their basic levels – is the ability to put your mind into a flow state, where you do not think about work, daily planning, or anything else. The mind is so occupied with staying in the moment that you simply don’t have time to think about those things.
Whatever activity you choose ( or have to perform), reflection time at the end is just as important as beginning in the first place.. Its important to center up and to remember that “you are responsible for your goals.” Only you can decide what is important to you and what your goals are, and be held responsible for making them a reality.
So, on those days when your to-do list is a mile long, it’s important to take a step back and realize that so much of what’s on that list is within your control – the way you spend your time and energy is determined by you. And sometimes all it takes is realizing that.
Peace and Love, Jim
