"The best way to take care of the future is to take care of the present moment." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Have you ever wished you could look into your very own crystal ball – to catch a shimmery glimpse into your future? Although we know this isn't possible, what is it you would like to see? Would it be the perfect house on an island far away or a cozy mountain chalet? Perhaps it would be a trip around the world or to sail the seven seas. More importantly, how do you feel when you are there? How do you feel in your body? In your mind and in your heart? When you listen with all your senses, what are they telling you?

It may be more activity, more play, a new project, more organization or simplifying your life. Keep it simple! You and you alone are the one that can give her what she needs, as often as she needs it. We can only listen when we become fully present. Let this be your sacred time to make "you" your number 1 priority:
Beginning your day this way is very grounding and empowering, and remember, what we do today creates our tomorrows! Comments are closed.
