Finding Peace Amongst the Chaos
Do you feel like you are on a treadmill? You are going through all the actions, thinking of a zillion things at once, trying to get all the things accomplished that you need to…and not getting half of it done…
Let’s start now at achieving that what we must do in a manner that will remove our stress, lighten our load, and help us become clear about what we really need to accomplish, and then to do it.
I have found for me, that I need to practice Mindfulness and what I mean by that is that everything I am doing I am mindful of it. If I am sitting and my cat come along and rubs against my leg, I concentrate on it and feel what that is like and how his tale wraps and hugs my leg, and then moves away…if I am peeling the potatoes, I concentrate on just peeling the potatoes…how long are the pieces that I peel, how many times do I do the down stroke with the peeler, how does the skin on my hand feel as opposed to the peeled portion of the potato, is the potato narrow, fat, long, short? Everything I am doing is being mindful of each thing. Even in visiting with someone, am I listening, really listening to them or am I anxious for them to stop so that I can talk?
In doing this, we are not bombarding ourselves a list of all the things you need to do, you are solely thinking of that which you are doing at this moment. So in this we are living in the now, in this very second of time, we are removing a huge weight from our shoulders, we have uncluttered our thinking, we are not rushing through the chore thinking of the next one. We are being one with that one thing we are doing in this moment…it is about respecting what we are doing, it is being reverent, it is honouring of ourselves by freeing our mind and our body from tension, rush, worry.
You will be amazed at how your time is freed up, that you can accomplish far more, that your thinking is clear, and that you do not feel stressed out. With each meeting, each appointment, each sale…with each task you need to deal with, just simply breathe in and then breathe out and be mindful, just do that right this moment and feel the stress and tension leave, feel your shoulders drop, and be in this moment. Have fun living a mindful life. I am Loving you

Thank you Judy for this. Its a great message and one I don't mind hearing on a regular basis. I find it is something we need reminding about. So some small notes around the house helps.
