This Monday morning I want to plant the seed of joy and calm. I want to see if I set deliberate intentions, I can shift the way that I perceive and experience my days. It’s hard when you have a brain that wants to run ahead and open mental tabs on all the things that can possibly go wrong! I’m convinced that the topic of my mental tabs can be shifted because they’re only opening up to the pages that have been viewed historically. It’s the act of thinking that my brain craves, so I need to feed it more beautiful and peaceful thoughts instead.
So, today I want to feed something soothing, like that of nature. As I look out to the trees and wild flowers, I want to create a similar environment for myself in my mind. Where stillness creates thriving and being grounded allows nourishment. I would like to let go of moving with the motions that come my way and instead, learn to sit, hear, observe and let go continuously.
This is a difficult task, so I need to be prepared for mis-steps and disappointments; but then again they don’t have to be disappointments if I set the right expectation with myself, one that is loving and kind. Loving and kind, hmm, I can’t always achieve this with great sincerity because I’m still trying to convince my brain that it is following outdated beliefs that are no longer serving me. Fake it until you make it I guess, I have to start the kindness from somewhere, hopefully with practice and time it will feel more genuine.
We can be deliberate about our days, we can be intentional about our thoughts, as hard as it is we need to give ourselves the chance of living a more joyous and fulfilling life. So practice we must.
Love Always,
