Do you ever feel like the world is writing your story for you. It is as if you are just going through the motions. You wake up, head to the shower, dry your hair, get dressed, make lunch for the day, check your email, then head out the door. It is as if you on on autopilot. You do not question it, you just move with the actions.
Your nine to five work get's accomplished and when you arrive home for the evening there is a pile of laundry to get done, dinner to be cooked, some gym time to squeeze in, and before you know it the time has come for you to lay your head back down on the pillow. You wonder how the time vanished so quickly. You had big plans for when you got out of work yet for some reason they all slipped away.
The weekends are different or so you hope. You try to squeeze in as much as you can. Savor the moments, seek out adventure, finally sit down to write, and spend some time with those you love. Yes the weekends are what you feel you are living for.
But what if you could change that? What if you could shift just a little bit to allow more space in your life to feel your heart light up. It is here where it begins. In this ordinary moment on the couch when you feel the time is slipping away. Yes, right here. Where you have the choice to do exactly what you are doing or do something that feeds your soul.
Sometimes making this choice may feel like a big leap and a little bit of an indulgence. You are sitting next to a pile of laundry how could you possibly say yes instead to going for a walk? But what if you picked up the pace a little. Folded the laundry quicker than you usually do by shutting off the TV and just concentrated on the folding. Would there be a few spare minutes to take a walk around the block?
And sometimes that is all you need a tiny sliver of time to get you back on track and feed your soul. It is the smallest moments that can make the biggest impact. You are the one who chooses what you do with your time. You can let it slip quietly through your fingers or you can seek out what it is right here, right now that will make you happy.
