It’s been awhile since the last blog post. The busyness of life, procrastination, dread, expectation and overwhelm: all contributing factors. The thought that, “it’s been so long! The energy it takes to start again is too much…”
In mindfulness meditation and Buddhist philosophy, there is a beautiful sentiment of using each breath as a chance to start anew. Your mind drifted away? No problem, you have this next moment and this next breath to refocus your attention. You’ve neglected your website for a year? No problem, today is a perfect chance to revisit the blog.
When stuck or overwhelmed about how far adrift you feel, offer yourself the opportunity to realize that the next moment is available for a slight shift toward movement. You missed that one and strayed away? No problem! Here’s another moment coming right up. And another. And another. And another.
