To be aware and mindful of what we are feeling ... in this moment, what is happening, in this moment ... the abundance around us, in this moment allows us to break the momentum of past conditioning. We may also realize that in most cases we are safe and whole and secure ... in this moment.
📣 TODAY'S AFFIRMATION:
"When I drift to past moments or worry about moments to come, I take a breath and bring myself into this moment.
I am fully present in this moment."
🍂 INSPIRATION FROM AUTUMN:
As we practice what Autumn has to teach us, we can be mindful that we are in a cycle of preservation and gratitude for our abundant "Harvest". We can honor and accept the dark and the light. We can prepare for a future of our choosing from our point of power in the present. We can examine the past, intentionally to observe our successes, behaviors and lessons in small doses.
🌻MINDFUL MOMENT
Sit quietly for a few minutes, taking long, slow breaths.
Ask and observe:
How often does my mind wander to the past in a day?
When in conversation with another what stories do I tell?
How often am I anxious or worried about the future?
📓 TODAY'S CREATIVE JOURNAL PROMPT:
Capture the present moment. Bring yourself into this moment ... How do you feel? What can you hear? What catches your attention? Can you smell or taste anything?
Around the "captured moment" write answers to these questions.
How does presence feel?
🙏 A MOMENT OF GRATITUDE
"As I bask in the feelings of this present moment,
I feel grateful for _________________________ "
👯 COMMUNITY CONVERSATION
So many things are designed to distract us and keep us worried about the future or focused in the past (including our own conditioning). What will always ring true is that there is nothing but the present moment and that is where our point of power to become aware, create and grow will always be.
