AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THE HOLIDAYS AND PARTIES, TIME TO TAKE STOCK OF WHAT YOU HAVE AND HOW TO USE IT BEST.
DAILY BLESSING/RITUALS HELP TO GROUND YOU AND FIND YOUR CENTER; KEEP YOU SAFE AND EVEN MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF.
HERE ARE SOME IDEAS/TECHNIQUES THAT MAY HELP YOU:
Where ever you walk this week , try to become aware of your walking.
Feel your feet firmly on the pavement/ground, feel the air in your face, become conscious of your breathing.
Feel the natural rhythm of your walking, and become aware of your surroundings...WHAT IS AHEAD OF YOU, WHO IS AROUND YOU..smile more.
any meal time even snacks. bless your food.
Take in the shape, smells and colors of the food ..be grateful you have food to eat.
Taste the food gently, feel it's texture try and enjoy every mouthful, and chew each well, and slow down.
Driving awareness..this goes beyond looking in front of you...
feel the steering wheel in your hands, your feet on the floor or pedals.
How are your shoulders and neck..stressed? relax them a bit.
Set up a running commentary/a little song out loud, of what is happening, what color are the cars around you, any pedestrians, what colors are the lights ahead?, check your mirrors, who is behind you?..don't just listen to the radio and zone out.
Hate Mondays? make a blessing-ritual where Mondays become a joy..something to look forward to... "you are one day closer to the next weekend".."it will soon be pay day", be thankful you have made it to Monday!..LIGHT SOME INCENSE IN THE CAR/BY YOUR WORK BAG ON SUNDAY NIGHT..imagining a great start to the week!
Try and give yourself the Present of NOW ...everyday, in this case it is good to GIVE & RECEIVE
