My mind, my body, my soul.
In the morning I throw off the covers and release the squirrels. I try to sit & have a quiet moment with my coffee, relaxing as I reflect on my tasks for the day. I assess my goals, trying to remain forward focused, I add some tasks that move me toward completing my daily goals & my monthly goals, if the day allows.
I usually get up to make a second cup of coffee. While I am waiting for the water to boil, I begin to get distracted, by the tasks that are slowly making there way onto my plate. My distractions are the blessings of productivity, that fuel my mornings.
Everyday is different. I do what I want, when I want. It all depends on my mood for the day and my energy level. On an ambitious day I may have 5-10 things that I am working on. I don’t wake up and write a list. I just wake up making one in my head as I drink my coffee and evaluate my schedule and how much extra time I have.
My biggest and most important goal, is to find peace in whatever I do. Be happy & be relaxed about the process. I put no pressure on myself to go at any particular pace. I just want to flutter through my day like a little happy hummingbird.
I might listen to music or if I secretly wish I was on the couch having a lazy day, then I will turn on the TV & listen to a series or a movie while I am working, this might also be the day where I spend time on my more relaxing projects.
If you were going to Vegas you could make a safe bet, that I finish my second cup of coffee by losing it somewhere in the house. I have never been diagnosed, but I know I am definitely ADD or ADHD. I love my brain. It’s sooo inventive and it has the ability to get a lot done, if it remains focused. Some days I do feel like a skipping record who keeps moving over and over the same tasks while getting nothing done.
These are the days that I end up putting my hands in the air, take a deep breath and go weed the garden, paint or clean something. I have come to realize these are the days when I need to let go and just re organize my mind, by organizing my life. I have just learned that life is much happier if I let the wind take me forward. Sometimes we just need to take a moment to be grateful for our blessings.
In my life, no matter the circumstance. I think it is important to be as productive as my life allows. Not everyone has great physical freedom. Though this can be a challenge. That is no excuse to just sit idly and let life pass you by. Look at Steven Hawkins. He can barely move yet he has managed to do so many amazing things.
We have a choice to enjoy every minutes or dwell on them & in them. Life is meant to be experienced. It truly is a journey through consciousness. We all have one. It has been given to us, as a blessing. We all have great power to make a positive or a negative impact on the world. Living every day with purpose, no matter what that purpose is. Write, draw, paint, find an interest & create a positive difference in your day, everyday, in some way.
Live the life your given, in every circumstance. Don’t dwell on what you wished it was. Take the situations as they come and find a way to make them work to your advantage.
Embrace the people in your life, be thankful for every moment and Live in the moment. It’s not over until it’s over. Get up and Reach.
