When is the last time that you were still?
This world is so full of noise, so full of chaos, so full of movement. When is the last time that you took a moment, and gave yourself time to just be present?
I know that this is a stressful time for all of us. We all have spaces of discomfort and challenges that we are facing. But so much of this is outside of our control. So why not focus on what you can control?
You can control your mindset. You can control what you are putting in your body. Whether that’s the food you’re consuming, the music you’re listening to, or the energy and love that you are giving yourself, these are things that are inside your control.
We have such a unique opportunity with this quarantine. Yes, there is so much stress. Yes, there is so much negativity. But you know what else this quarantine has given us? Time.
Time is our most valuable resource. We can choose to focus on all the downsides of this quarantine, or we can choose to focus on the gift that it has given us. For so many of us, this quarantine has given us time. Time to be with our families, or to virtually connect with our relatives and friends. Time to poor into our community, or careers, or our relationships. Time to improve ourselves and the world around us. Time to be still.
For those of you who have known me for a while, you know that stillness is something I constantly struggle with. I am a “go go go” person. I have so much difficulty stopping and just being exactly where I am at.
But being present is so important. So I have made it my intention this month to take time to just be still.
