Embrace...

"Stop waiting for Friday, for summer, for someone to fall in love with you, of life. Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it and make the most of the moment you are in now."

A good reminder to stay present in the NOW! 

To embrace the very present moment I'm in and go with the flow. Be an observer and allow what is to be, then let it pass through me without resistence.

Silly...

I remember making shadow animals growing up, and it was a good reminder to be more child like and silly.

Blooming...

"Bloom Where Your Planted"

I've been inspired by natural a lot lately and today as I was bending down to observe a small creek, I was reminded of "bloom where your planted."  I saw random plants growing in the most unusual places and water finding a way to keep going despite the obstacles in its way. But it was all so beautiful and I thought, "my life is not all that I would like it to be, but I'm still growing ( blooming) and finding a way, despite what I see as obstacles in my life."

Melt down...

"Don't forget your human. It's okay to have a melt down. Just don't unpack and live there. Cry it out and then refocus on where you are headed."

I do forget often that I'm human. My mind is so busy surviving and working at keeping it all together that I don't allow the melt down and the good cry as much as my body asks for it. But the times I have, I do refocus and start again. It's a good reminder to embrace my humanness in this present moment.

Precious Time...

Today I had such high hopes for... I don't know. Something other then feeling blah. Mentally I couldn't seem to get myself to a better place and as much as I've told myself it was okay, it's hard feeling like I've wasted precious time.  I've pushed myself to "do things" but all I really wanted to do was - NOTHING! I kept doing things hoping the funk would lift but it hasn't, so as the evening coming, I guess "the mood" will too. It's all going to be okay... right?

Soul...

"Take time to do what makes your soul happy."

This is what I plan to do tomorrow. I'm sure I'll do other things on my list but I plan to be aware in the present moment to do something that makes my soul happy!

Human...

Recently I've gone back to the chiropractor and after doing some ex-rays, I was told that I have scoliosis.  I was a bit taken back, and a little sad when I asked him if I had continued to have gone (when I use to go years ago) would it have gotten this bad and he said if wouldn't have. It just hit home with me, that even though I eat really well, do yoga and try to find time to meditate, there are still areas that can be improved. As humans we are made up of - Mind, Body, Soul and each one needs our attention. It's easy to loose myself in everyday life, in worry, stress and fear. Even though I've had diagnoses a lot worse it was a wake up call to remind myself to bring a little more consciousness about this body I was given and how I'm taking care of it.
