Are you going 90 miles an hour, little to no sleep? Closing your eyes, and all you see are flashing lights? Your brain going strong not ready to slow down, and let you sleep? Trying to figure out what you did not get done today, or yesterday, and realizing that tomorrow there will be more because you are getting further and further behind? Is someone or something pulling you in the wrong direction?
Where do you find the following
Zen Meditation Peace Quietness
in this busy non stop world?
WOW that is a lot of questions, have I got the absolute answers for you, NO, have I a few suggestions for you, YES!!!
When you are feeling overwhelmed, try Deep Breathing 5 times, then look at the situation again, your mind will probably will be in a calmer place. Don’t be surprised if you try this at night, and it puts you to sleep right away.
If undone chores are your nemesis, make a list, and try to commit to do one a day, or one every 2 days. Don’t write down a 100 things to do, put down the 5 most important ones. When you accomplish something, it will calm you down, and you will think all things are possible. Revisit your list again, and remember baby steps only, as you have to crawl before you can run.
Don’t fret about things you can’t do, ask for help, someone in your social or family circle probably can help. If you do ask someone, and they promise to come and don’t, move on, don’t get frustrated. Look at what needs to be done, is it important, save up and call a professional for help.
A few months ago, I had to go out of town, a dear friend said I could use her corporate suite for 24 hours. This way I did not have to drive home. It was night time when I arrived uncertain of exactly where I was, the windows were covered, the place uncluttered, quiet, calm colors, and if I did not know I was in an large apartment complex, I would have thought that if I opened the patio door, or windows I was somewhere remote and without neighbors. Just to be somewhere to sit, no interruptions, a place to think, feel, it was wonderful. I slept soundly, without moving from where I lay my head. In the morning refreshed, calm, and off to a brunch on the way home with friends. No cost.
If you need to get away and have no money, see if you could housesit while friends are away, different location, different outlook, this can work wonders. Lucky me I get to do this in February, and it costs me only gas money.
Think about what is important, and what isn’t, only worry about what you can do something about.
A wish of mine would be that when Yoga Studio’s are not holding classes, they are opened up to people to just come, sit, and be silent, an hour in a quiet place with no distractions can do wonders for people. People coming to be quiet for 1 hour paying $10.00 each, it is a win win for everyone. Just a thought.
Hugs always
Karen
