TAKE THE TIME
I slept in a little later than usual. i still made my yoga class. I feel better about myself when I start my day with yoga and meditation. And I feel better in general. There is the world of external reality and our inner experience of that world. It’s only when we can transcend our thoughts about that outer world that we begin to experience that peace that we long for.
Whether it’s a life coaching session or executive coaching session my message is the same.How you start your day sets the tone for the day. My body responds well to yoga and it sets the tone for the day. As I make decisions throughout the day, I make them with more ease. I feel more of a freedom in the way I move and hold myself.
Last night I went to an important business meeting. I took just 5 minutes to center myself by meditating. Not only was I more present, I enjoyed myself the whole evening.
Take the time for your inner work. It’s difficult to become fulfilled without doing it. Make it part of your life just like flossing. Think of it this way. Flossing your teeth is your external reality. Mental flossing is your inner experience that affects everything else.
It’s ok to cut yourself some slack occasionally…but is it worth it if it affects your experience of
life.
