As the calendar year comes to an
end, many of us reflect on the time that has passed, rethink and look forward
to the next chapter.
In the midst of the holiday
busyness not always do we find time for that.
Every one of us has a thing that
challenges us in our lives.
I do believe that a lot of us
need more time and space for self-reflection. In other words, many of us just
need to live more in presence. It all sounds good. It even sounds great, I
think!
But talking is cheap. There is a
big difference between talking about something and living it.
I feel that a lot of people
including myself often struggle with finding time just Be without actively doing something. Just go
inwards and be in the present moment. Some of us even feel guilty doing that! I
think that's insane.
It is our crazy intense World
that puts a lot of pressure on us to do, to achieve, to plan, to look for
tomorrow...
But don't we lose the most precious moment -
now? The more we look outwards, the more we get disconnected from our limitless
source. The more we get identified with who we are not.
In reality, it is not that
difficult to find 10-15 min a day for yourself. Sure, like everything else in
life, it requires some dedication - time and effort to build a loving
relationship with Yourself.
How can we do that?
There are lots of ways to be
present. Meditation is a beautiful tool, but not everyone is ready for that. It
is fine. Whatever makes us be fully immersed in the moment Is already a
meditation. It is as simple as that, whether it is drinking a cup of coffee in
the morning, watching the sky, listening to the music, walking in nature or
anything else. Anything can be our meditation as long as we are entirely in it.
Bring it into your life. Be here
and now.
Merry Christmas and Happy
Holidays!
