Message of the day - Jan 18, 2018 - "The past is gone"
Yesterday I stayed up late until around 2-3 a.m. because I couldn't stop reading a book. While I enjoyed the book I woke up quite tired at 8:30 in the morning. And it's not the first time I've been doing this recently. I kind of screwed up my sleeping patterns and I realise I need to get myself back to going to bed at least before midnight. Work in progress, intention set for this evening.
So, the 3 keys for today:
Focus
Flow
Experience
.
The Soul Solution for a pitfall caused by feeling scattered and spaced out:
"Breathe deeply and slowly a few times and listen to what you need moment by moment. Move, walk, dance, meditate and take it one step at a time."
The Louise Hay card I picked up is
"The past is gone"
And on the back of the card it says:
This is a new day, one that I have never lived before.
I am in the Present and I rejoice in every moment.
Today I noticed how my focus and concentration are affected by the lack of sleep. I could observe my mind being more scattered, more chaotic than usual.
And although we don't normally realise this, by now I know better that a scattered, chaotic mind is actually consuming energy from my body. It becomes more obvious on a day when we are more tired than usual (like I felt today).
Otherwise, this constant rumination and jumping from one idea to the other which is a characteristic of the modern, Western mind is also one of the factors that prevent us from being productive, happy, in flow.
So my keys were showing me what I needed the most today: focus, concentration.
And "The Past is gone" card is a perfect reminder to let go of old thoughts, otherwise we never live in the Present moment. And living in the moment doesn't mean only when we meditate or do yoga or any other practice. These practices help us train and strengthen our focus.
Instead, what I feel the biggest challenge is for myself, is being present in everything I do throughout my day. That's the biggest challenge for me. And probably for you.
So let's breathe deeply and become aware of the body right here and now. And pause for a few seconds to check how you feel now. Then go back to your day but remember to take small breaks like this one from time to time. I know I will.
In love and light!
