Balance and Simplicity
Be in the summertime mode all the time!
 This
morning as I was having my meditation-connection time, I
picked up a book called "The Woman's Book of Soul" by Sue Patton
Thoele. It's a collection of meditations I sometimes refer to when my intuition guides me. Today, I turned to "Culling Complications, Welcoming Simplicity". As soon as I read it, I knew it was the theme to write about for this article.
As I want to keep with the theme of simplicity, I will keep this short
and sweet, so perhaps you might spend more time away from the computer
and onto to something which nourishes your soul!
We live in a culture that thrives on doing! We also live in a
culture bombarded with billions of bits of information via the
internet, news media, emails, social media networking and so on.
While some of this "doing" and "busy-ness" is necessary and can be
stimulating and even fun, so much more of it can be numbing and negative stress producing.
All this can lead to overwhelment, poor health, fractionated relationships as well as feelings of despair.
Here's where Balance and Simplicity come in!
How to start welcoming balance and simplicity:
With love and great respect for yourself, gently examine your life to
understand how a complicated and busy life may be impacting you.
Here are some questions to stir the pot of your life:
Are you comfortable with the pace you are keeping.
Be honest here, status quo can seem comfortable
Would you like more serenity in your life?
Would you like to feel more at ease, enjoy your life more?
Would you like to have more time with family and friends?
What small step can you take today to welcome more balance and simplicity into your life?
How can you be more in the "Summertime mode" all the time?
Here's my definition of "Summertime mode":
Life feels good; things happen with ease; appreciation and gratitude flow through me; I feel connected and happy!
What's your defintition?
I'd love to hear how you are bringing more "Summertime mode" into your life.
