Remembering to stay present and grateful
Do you often step on that hamster wheel and not get off it for days as a time? I often do…
I get up at a certain time, walk the dog at a certain time, have my breakfast at a certain time, make sure boys are ready for school at a certain time, start work at a certain time, eat lunch at a certain time, finish work at a certain time, do the housework in a certain time, make dinner at a certain time, stop doing and aim to relax by a certain time (not always achieved), go to bed at a certain time etc. etc. - then get up the next day and do it all again!
We are always watching that darn clock which quite honestly is another mechanism to control us and I can’t wait until we don’t have to do everything by the clock any more. Even writing the above makes me realise how much of my day is time related and time restricted.
Until that time comes, we all need to carve out some time to stay present and grateful because that is our point of true light and power. That is what manifests a great life for us all. Even if you did nothing else, being grateful attracts more of that which you are grateful for.
It was the reason I started this blog, to help others focus on their daily alignment as well as using it as a tool to ensure I did it too!
So even if you can’t do it every day, lets all try and take some time out, even a few times a week to stop focusing on how much we have to do and start focusing on how much we can appreciate in this moment.
