Go ahead—put some love into yourself. (We dare you)
Now I’m not proud of this, but I’ve been known to pretty much drive folks off the road so I’m not late for my Yoga class. We’re all so busy running around to get it all done that it’s easy to forget the real deal: the peace and possibilities that comes from being in the moment.
We can do Yoga, or we can be Yoga.
We can practice Mindfulness, or we can just be mindful.
It doesn’t take much.
Try this:
• Close your eyes.
• Take one minute. That’s it: 60 brief seconds.
• Take your hands, and lovingly stroke your face.
Don’t wait for someone else to do it, stroke your sweet face.
No one’s looking.
...Go ahead, put some love into yourself.
Take moments like these throughout the day.
In these simple moments, you’ll find all that you’ll ever need anywhere; the present, cut loose from the past, and unhindered by the future. And in each precious moment lies our freedom from fears, confusions, attachments and memories.
Every second, of every moment, offers us a door into the present which grants us such deep liberation.
Mindfulness is just saying yes to the present moment.
