Return to Center
And remember to capture that feeling for next time
It’s too easy to swing out of balance during busy, stressful times. Too easy to let the negativity of others become ours, to forget we are free to
say no,
be ourselves,
stop the race,
sing a song,
change our minds,
live easy.
Sometimes we just need to stop for a few minutes, breathe, and do whatever reminds us of how it feels to be at peace. We need to return to center… whatever that looks like. We might find it in writing a note to ourselves and sticking it on the bathroom mirror, or in reading a couple of pages of a favorite book, taking a walk, calling a kindred spirit, chatting across the porch with a neighbor, or simply enjoying the art we chose to hang on our wall. Perhaps a hug will right our day, or maybe a puppy kiss. If we cannot be with a hugger or a kisser, maybe just gazing at pictures of loved ones, two or four legged, and remembering we love and are loved will be enough to nudge us back to center. The important thing is — take a few minutes to remember — we have a choice… to keep running or stop and breathe, and remember that feeling…
My life is so good
