Food for Thought

The more moments in a single day that we can bring ourselves into the moment, the better our lives get. If this sounds too simple, please hear me out.

Think for one moment about all the moments in one day where you are doing things you have done so many times that you don’t even have to think about them. Driving. Making coffee. Showering. The things you do that don’t require much attention or concentration. Now add up that time in one given day. Ten minutes here, thirty minutes there, adds up quicker than you realise.

Now imagine for a moment that you could actually choose to soak up those moments and make them more enjoyable by being fully immersed in mind and body. So instead of going through your to-do list again and again, worrying about the future or predicting the worst, you choose to smell your delicious coffee or really taste your meal and soak it all up.

Today we will continue to notice and bring in more moments of soaking up life.

“Your shifts happen when you live the work, not when you read the work.”

Tomorrow when you come back, you’re going to reflect on today’s move, so don’t forget.

See you tomorrow for day 12!
