Catching up...just seems we never get there.

Have you ever felt like there is just no enough time in this world?  Or that there are too many tasks that your body can't handle.  Here is a simple thought.  It would be great just for a moment, to close your eyes to the rest of the world.  Sit very still and focus, closing your eyes at that point between the eyes in the middle of the forehead.  Breath slowly and deeply, be aware of the stillness in that space of your mind.  This is an open space where it is peaceful and safe.Let the jumbled thoughts pass by like little clouds. After ten minutes open your eyes, take a deep breath and notice your mind and body more relaxed...ready to take on the rest of your day.

I often practice this meditation for 10 minutes everyday.  It helps release the tension of stress and gets oxygen flowing in the body for better energy.

According to MAYO CLINIC:

"Meditation can give you a sense of calm, peace and balance that benefits both your emotional well-being and your overall health. And these benefits don't end when your meditation session ends. Meditation can help carry you more calmly through your day and can even improve certain medical conditions.
Meditation and emotional well-being
When you meditate, you clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress.
The emotional benefits of meditation include:
  • Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
  • Building skills to manage your stress
  • Increasing self-awareness
  • Focusing on the present
  • Reducing negative emotions"
Try it.  It was not until I found myself trying to accomplish so much in so little time that I realized how this can be helpful to ones well being.
