How did I get up at 4 AM yesterday and then only now make it out of bed At 9 AM today? (Observation - I don’t even feel guilty about it!) I am practicing how to soften the way I engage with the moments as they arise, which is definitely not my normal pace.
Today, while I have a lot of projects that need attention, I set an intention to skip my morning workout - not so I can dive head first into my to-do list - but so I can slow wade my way into the waters of a long morning shower, so I can stand in the sun and feel the warm breeze on my skin, and so I can fully notice the nuttiness of the creamer in my Keurig k-cup coffee. (Tryin’ hard not to judge myself here!)
Even as I am sitting here in stillness with my thoughts, I feel the tension of wanting to hurriedly capture the words all on paper.
My intention for today is to not tackle my to-do list but to give gentle awareness to the beneficiaries of my attention, which is a gift.
