Clutter, stress, mindless shopping, fast paced life, drinking too much, eating unhealthy, emotional drama.. Is this you?
An entire day can go by without us even noticing the small things that make life wonderful. People live a stressful life, their home is cluttered or messy, perhaps their work desk looks like a bomb’s hit it, no one can find anything, no routine, no structure…. A continuous state of mindless hurry and flurry….. Pause!!!
For my clients I created three “pause point” moments for each day. It helps to ground, to consider, to structure and to be mindful.
I live by my rules too and I have set 3 “pause point” moments for me…. I wake up, I make a coffee and I take it back to bed, I sit there and I spend at least 15 minutes savouring the moment, enjoying my coffee, contemplating and planning my day and above all being thankful for my health, my great life and my happiness. I set my intention and plan the day… No mindless running out the house, have I locked the door, turned off the iron, I’m late etc… Mindful, purposeful, calm and ready for whatever the world throws at me. I have the tools to not react, to think rationally rather than emotionally and get through my day positively.
When I get home is another “pause point”. For you it may be afternoon tea time… I put the working day aside, I get changed, I put things away, I plan the remainder of the day & evening and make myself a lovely healthy drink. The business day is done, until tomorrow. Now its my time, I worked for it and now I savour it. In the morning, I made plans for the evening, perhaps I planned to go to yoga, or do book-work, or iron BUT I go with my original morning plan, no fluffing about, getting side tracked… the decision was made in the morning and I simply use my “pause point” moment to keep me on track….
Late at night, before bed, or in bed, I consider my day, another “pause point”. I didn’t get lured by sales, I didn’t buy things I don’t need, I exercised, I ate healthy, I drank plenty of water, I didn’t lose it, I stayed positive, I didn’t get hooked into negative drama. I stayed pretty much on track…I don’t think for a moment I don’t have challenges that push me to the end of my tether, but this helps me stay grounded. I’m thankful that I was true to myself, my body, my mind… I accomplished most, or all of the things that I wanted to achieve today, I took a deep breath when dealt a difficult situation, I handled the day the best that I could and I’m content…. Then I sleep, re-energizing and revitalising, because tomorrow I do it again…
This is a discipline, 10 or 15 minutes, 3 times a day. It gets easier, you feel free, light of heart, organized, other peoples drama has less impact, you feel peace and clarity, grounded and you will feel happier.. Its the greatest gift you can give yourself and only you can create it. When you adopt this discipline you will wonder how you got through a day or a week in your old life and you will never go back to that way of being.
Make time for three “pause points” in your day to bring you back to the moment and your intent.. It may change your life….
