Do you ever feel that you are pushing toward a finish line that doesn’t exist? Flying about in a hurry, hustling and bustling from one task to the next, zig-zagging and multi-tasking until you forget where your flight began and where it was supposed to end?
As women, we were wired for thinking of multiple things at once, of being able to sort and grasp the connections between the many facets of our lives, and it’s a great and needed gift!
But sometimes, we need to take a moment to decompress, unwind and relax. Being in flight all the time wears a body out not to mention exhausts us mentally, emotionally and spiritually as well.
I highly recommend sitting in silence at least once a day and learning to focus your thoughts on just breathing in and out. If your mind wanders, and it will, you can just easily slide back to being aware of yourself breathing in and out.
It’s amazing to me how just ten minutes of focusing the mind can leave a calm spot in our awareness for the rest of the day. Meditation coupled with prayer is truly a life-line for a healthy mind, body and spirit.
You are never alone. Call on God in your quiet moments or sad times or when you are overwhelmed. His peace and help will come.
Love you!
